Base jumping accident while filming for Matchstick today in Italy.

We have a lot to thank him for in the ski world.

Yea I saw it come across the wire on TGR. Very sad.
A real innovator and the originator of my favorite ski the Spatula.
RIP and condolences to his wife and daughter.
I think I'll makes a few turns on my Spats tomorrow in his honor.

Bummer anouther great athlete and funny guy!
Tough one for his family and the k2 family!
I am glad I got one day of skiing with Shane in the early ninetie's!
The list just grows,I am starting to get survivor's guilt!
All the best to his family!
