If you are one of the above (most bikers are) have a look at this.

Shane McConkey was a one of a kind thrill seeker. I knew his Dad, Jim, from the old days at Whistler. He owned the ski shop at the base of the mountain. I ran into him one day on the mountain and he was with Shane and a buddy. We skied and had lunch. He took it easy on us! They were there to base jump off the Peak to Peak gondola that was opening. The longest and highest gondola in the world.
He died on a mountain in Italy while filming. The proceeds from the film go to his wife and daughter. I got my copy today and WOW what a time! You won't believe it.
Check out the trailer on the website.
