McConkey Ski DVD, Blu-Ray, and Download

Would have fully enjoyed this story especially knowing the profits go to a trust in McConkey's name and wouldhave given five stars to it no problem.................EXCEPT !!!IT IS SUBTITLED IN EVERY LANGUAGE EXCEPT ENGLISH !! Don't know what distributor was thinking...every otherlanguage EXCEPT THERE ARE NO ENGLISH SUBTITLES. If one is hearing impaired as I am it really meansa lot to be able to watcha program such as this and understand all of the dialogue.With this as the only glitch it is a great story, wonderfully photographed and presented to the viewer. I wouldhighly recommend it to any person with normal hearing.

Shane McConkey was a primal force in Big Mountain and Extreme skiing. Behind his daredevil achievements and major innovations lay the soul of a highly intelligent, thoughtful, and generous person. He is and will be missed. This DVD provides a brilliant and in- depth overview of his life and achievements. A gorgeously filmed and beautiful summary of his life - don't pass this by! It is heartening to know that the proceeds of this DVD will go to his surviving family.

It's a shame that stars of this caliber have to burn out so quickly. Shane was a credit to his sport. I've followed his carrier over the years and he has always been one of my favorites to watch. although a bit sad, I would recommend this movie to anyone that craves a periodic adrenalin rush. We miss you Shane!

Easily the best and most inspiring DVD I have ever purchsed. Saw the move at the Flagstaff Film Festival and had to buy it. Truly an individual who lived life to the fullest, on his terms and chased his dreams despite what others told him. A true inspration on how to live and how to die.

Excellent DVD! Shane Mcconkey lived a funfilled and exciting life and this film captures it in breathtaking images. Much more than a ski film, it is a celebration and remembrance of an individual like we won't see again. Incredible athlete, wonderful film.

We really enjoyed the disc that we could watch, unfortunately only one of the two discs worked, so we returned it.

For anyone who likes skiing, the outdoors, and living life to the fullest, this is an abolute must-see. A unique, amazing, and inspiring story with some of the best footage I've ever seen.

Great documentary on his life. A huge variety of footage from his youth till his death. What a risk taker!! Most of the footage is excellent photography.

This is a great film. Very easy to watch and a real tribute to the guy, what he achieved and the spirit in which he did it. You watch him and you really get to like him so there is obviously no happy ending. But that in itself reminds you that what he did was dangerous and there are no guarantees even if you are tremendously talented and take all conceivable precautions - something that can be forgotten when watching people perform jaw-dropping stunts.However the film is warm and funny and in real Shane McConkey style ends with on a laugh which, after watching the film, you know is exactly how he would have wanted it to end.

I bought this as a christmas gift for a friends teenage son. Beeing an eager free skier and action sport fan he loved it. He would give it six stars if he could...

This guy is a legend. A must watch.

Excellent

For anyone who has a passion for skiing and appreciates living life to the full, this is an absolute must-see movie. A truly incredible and inspiring documentary with, undoubtably some of the best skiing and big mountain footage I've ever seen. Within just a few minutes of watching this movie, I was mesmerized by Shane McConkey and his zest for "living the dream". He had one life…..and he most definitely lived it! RIP
