R.I.P. Shane McConkey
Big mountain extreme skier and BASE jumper Shane McConkey died yesterday in a ski-BASE accident in Italy.
He had done over 700 such jumps, and undoubtedly felt that he understood the risks. It is never good when a small thing that goes wrong (in this case, a binding not releasing) cascades into a fatal error.

This a brave young man that I've known for years! I simply do not understand why the FEMA units of the Obama administration didn't step in to save his beautiful spirit. I'm just so upset!
