Erik Roner 800-ft Snowmobile BASE Jump For Shane McConkey: Ronervision

Рет қаралды 222,758

Күн бұрын

Professional skier Shane McConkey pushed the limits of possibility in big mountain terrain. As a friend and mentor to Erik Roner, his 2009 passing was a huge loss. Erik decided it was time to honor his friend by disposing of Shane's snowmobile in the only way that made sense-by BASE jumping it off an 800-foot cliff! With former pro snowboarder Jim Rippey in tow to help with the stunt logistics, Erik hits the road to Fernie, British Columbia and a massive cliff face. Watch as Roner pulls the throttle and pushes his own limits for Shane!

Legit shed a tear at the end with his kid.

Lost track of Shane after my teen years and only met him a few times after that. But good chldhood memories skiing in mountain club ski schools will never forget. It is good to let go but always good to remember the good times and positive things he shared with all of us.

It´s so bizarre when you think about it. Erik Roner talking about his dear friend Shane McConkey who had passed away 4 years ago and now Erik is gone too. It makes me so sad, they were both grounded guys and loving fathers. I know they died doing what they loved, but it breaks my heart thinking about their kids growing up without them. RIP Erik Roner

None of us know shane, so who are we to say if this is a good or bad idea to honor his friend if we don't even know him??. but from what i can see his friend shane was very important to him and probably would be so happy right now for what his buddy did to honor him. good job man!!! thats a real friend right there

To those of you who question his motivation or think Erik or any other of the adventure/extreme athletes are being irresponsible because "life is too precious to waste", I say that that argument is exactly the reason why they do it. Life is too precious to waste sitting on couch saying, "If things where different, I could do that! I'm just too old (or I don't have the money)." Just be careful on your way drug for that beer. A stubbed toe hurts, even if you're drunk!

To those that thought this was negative or pointless, Shane and I talked lots about a snowmobile BASE jump. He would be SO stoked to know I sent his off an 800ft cliff. It was on its last leg so giving it away would be pointless. I kept pieces I've given to fans, friends, family and will auction off to support the SM foundation. I was honoring and fulfilling a dream I had with one of my best friends. His ashes are in an urn at his wife's house with the instructions to spread all over the world.

Well obviously since you didn't know Shane you don't really know what you're talking about...right? This wasn't about promoting myself just because we made an edit to share. I full filled a dream a best friend and I had for many years ... I would consider that honor and I know he would be very proud.

You can make the case that the 'bile could have been given to a grom or whatever, but you can't convince me that Shane wouldn't be totally psyched by the sight of E Roner RIDING his old snowmobile through space as it plummets towards the ground. I'm not a big fan of 'bilin', but that was sick. I'm also not a huge fan of destroying useful things, but sometimes a send-off has to be a send-off. Hey @theerikroner maybe you have an old sled you can donate to a grom or a needy skier, in Shane's name??

After having his friend Shane that was extremely talented die base jumping, if I was him I would have stopped doing it. Count my lucky stars and move on but these dare devil guys can't stop it's just not in them. It's only a matter of time but at least they go doing what they love so it could be worse I suppose. RIP

Appearances, especially on YT, are everything my friend. When something seems a certain way, then that is how most people are going to perceive it. If you really had a specific intention with this vid, then to most people it would seem logical that you would make that intention very clear. Especially on a subject like this. By the comments, I'd say your alleged intention was not. Lesson learned or truth revealed? It's all up to the interwebbers now.
