If you haven’t seen this yet, you need too. If you’ve seen it, you know it’s worth watching again. The word inspiration works, but for Shane, something else should be invented.

I remember seeing the premiere for this movie. It was tough.
POWERFUL
rest in peace Shane.
The beginning is always tough to watch. After that, good laughs & insane skiing & what not is what you get to see.
rest in peace shane, none of our lives would ever be the same without you
W.W.S.D.? -thats how i live life.
damn.
Really enjoyed re-watching this.
Squaw is where my heart lies as a born Clevelander. I dont wanna ask ….but I have to after wondering about it for several years. What went wrong in the air for Him.? I expected I would’ve eventually read\hear the real answer but I haven’t. Just because his skiis wouldn’t come off on that ski base…….why couldn’t he have just deployed his chute with skiis on?
one ski came off, one didnt. he got in a spin and couldnt deploy. apparantly, heard this from an interview of mike douglas somewhere on youtbe
Magic That!
Inspiration? I’m missing something. Yes he was a great skier. What Shane did while being a Dad leaves me with some thoughts that I will just keep to myself as a lot of you see him differently. I ripped all day today with my 6 year old boy. That inspires me.
Just because you have kids doesn’t mean you have to kiss your prior life good bye and live in a safety bubble. If you do, that’s your choice. Don’t push your beliefs about parenting on others.
I had lots of respect for everything Shane did for the sport and sometimes wish I can ski like he did. Then I watched the video of his daughter where she said she doesn’t want him to base jump. Pretty selfish don’t you think? He widowed his wife and left his daughter just so he can impress guys on unofficial. I can’t think of a worse group of jerks worth dying for.
Where is this video of his daughter saying that
you don’t quite get it then
does the it whistle when your head turns to the wind? you missed it by a mile guy.
I’m tearing up! Somebody get “Worlds Best Dad a whambulance. “
What an inspiration Shane is! He is not a “was” and never will be. I still can’t believe that such an amazing father, friend, and athlete can be lost. Much love to all of his family and friends. Nothing can be said better other than he did what he loved and pursued all aspects of life with un-dying passion. You will be forever in our hearts Shane!
Thanks Shane, not a day goes by that I don’t see his influence on my life and I only got to meet him once in passing. Squaw should have the light shining on the Tram Face year round
I’ve probably watched this clip about 100 times over the past few years, always brings a fat smile to my face when I need it.
Heroes get remembered but LEGENDS never die!
Yeah… not posting, eh? I thought so…. Unofficial = No balls!
Yeah… Unofficial…. I’m really inspired. I wanna ski stoned drunk ‘n swing a bottle of Jack…. THEN I’m living life to its fullest! I wanna be a middle aged goofball because I have no responsibilities and because I’m good at it. I wanna be a near-forty-year-old-Dad dreaming up the next crazy stunt, to stay ahead of the twenty-year-old chasing my tail, doing something even crazier. I wanna always be on edge doing stunts that leave a widow behind and kids growing up fatherless. No doubt, I wanna be a damn excellent athlete and a ski industry visionary who some will even call “revolutionary”. But most of all Unofficial, I wanna be worshipped by you in a video just like this, over and over again. That’s the legacy I aspire to in my lifetime.
Thank you Unofficial Networks, I feel truly inspired and tearful for such a “deep” tribute.
good one dude. some bolas de acero at Unofficial afterall.
Douchbag
Fuck you! You gaper, flat lander, conservative piece of shit. If I want to take a risk, and I have kids, that’s my choice. It’s not selfish and it’s not your place to judge me.
u suck, u mudderfuckr, u douche, u bastuhd, u puss, u blah, blah, blah. what a funny little guy
You probably were listening to your favorite band Nirvana when you wrote that….
Shane had more balls than most people in life ! He was my friend so fuck off !
all his balls were no match for all those rocks.
LOL, too funny!
HAHAHA!!!! Like you even know the FIRST THING about Shane! PFFFFFFT!!!!!
“such a “deep” tribute”…. haha you actually know so little that you think this is a “deep” edit about Shane from unofficial… instead of what it actually is, a segment from MSP’s movie “In Deep” (Thats MatchStick Productions you ignorant fuck)
Can’t watch that clip without thinking: Love you, Shane.
ps yur capitalism and puctuation is awesum…….
Shane would’ve loved this as he was one of the funniest dudes on anything.

Bring the Xtreme benches back in front of Dave’s Deli.
KSL/Wirth/Livak haven’t a clue, instead they want people to sit in the cold shade on the not Sun Deck, bwahahahahaha.
if you are someone making negative comments towards shane or voting down comments defending him: you probably suck
thanks for making my day unofficial. one of the greatest of all time.
wow someone has been gone long enough so you can start ripping on him? if you didnt have the balls to do it 3 years ago then why now? thanks for the years of self reflecting…the man was a positive infulence to us all leave him alone.
