Shane McConkey breaking records and falling fast

Shane-McConkey-skiBASE-jump.jpgFreestyle skier Shane McConkey kicked off BoboFest in Reno, Nevada, last November 17 by nailing the world's first urban skiBASE jump. From a ramp of 6,700 pounds of shaved ice atop the tallest casino in the Biggest Little City on Earth, McConkey skied off the building's 38-story roof, threw in a front flip, and landed in a parking lot.
