Shane McConkey overleden

Slecht nieuws voor de liefhebber van exteem sports. Skier / Basejumper Shane McConkey is tijdens een training in Italië om het leven gekomen. Volgens een vriend van Mconkey is een ski die niet los wilde laten hem fataal geworden. Check hier het bericht, Shane aan het werk en de verklaring van Red Bull die de legendarische sportman sinds jaar en dag in hun Red Bull Air Force had opgenomen.

Verklaring van sponsoor Red Bull: How do you sum up a human who spent his life leaving everybody speechless? Today March 26th, 2008 skiing lost an ambassador, B.A.S.E. jumping an innovator, the world a jester, and the world a friend. The great thing about Shane is that you knew his personality, even if you didn’t meet him in person. You could watch a video of him doing some of the most talented shit you will ever see and he is wearing a neon jumpsuit and holding a saucer sled. That was Shane. You could look at an event photo; eyes crossed, chin tucked with a double thumbs up, that was Shane. We all got so used to seeing Shane do such gnarly things on skis and parachutes that a day like today didn’t seem possible, the guy did what he wanted when he wanted and with a smile he got away with it. We will all miss you DudeManBro.
