That trailer made Shane's dad, Jim, seem like quite the dickhead. Is he?
"He wasn't allowed to ever talk to his father, see his father or do anything with his father..."
That scene at 00:36...where he basically "falls" down what looks like an 80 degree PLUS degree face....I've seen some wild-ass insane stuff...but that few seconds of footage pretty much tops them all!! And he stuck it perfectly. Where in hell was that? Jackson Hole?

Dang, that's gonna be hard and awesome to watch!
If you're being rad and nobody's around to see it, are you really being rad?

Saw the trailer today while watching cold rush on tv. I'm so stoked to see it. Can't wait until it comes out. He was one of the best...in every aspect of the word.

... just ski down there and jump off something for crying out loud! My kids quote Shane to me all the time. As in "dad don't be so lame"!

Shane was my biggest childhood hero. If not for his inspiration, I would have given it up a long time ago. I'll be buying this movie as soon as possible.
All I know is that I don't know nothin'... and that's fine.

As a kid watching Plake and Shane was the best. To watch those guys after a day of skiing on the ol rsn. He seriously was the man, no other way to put it. I was getting all teary eyed just watching the trailer. I can't wait to see this!

I can't wait to see the movie of the Master, but shit towards the end, the shots of him jumping, the voiceover and tears......my stomach didn't feel good.

Looking forward to seeing how this film treats the legacy of the man that I consider to be the greatest innovator in recent skiing history, four times over. I daresay Shane's death affected this community more than any other single event that I've seen. This needed to be made and made right.

Being fairly new to the sport I can't say I've been a long time admirer of SM, but As a father of a two year old little girl, the scene at 2:12 kissing his daughter really gets to me.

The man has earned his place as an icon in the history of the sport. I am stoked to see this fim.
How many sport legends have such a tangible and self-depricating sense of humor?
Tip rocker, reverse reverse, slarving....we owe it and so much more to Shane.Last edited by Jim S; 03-25-2012 at 12:51 PM.

That man raised and set the bar for not just skiing. Truly an icon, shitbge revolutionized the sport. I know there are plenty of pol here, myself included that have rockered skis. Shane is soley responsible for that. I can't help but think of him every time I click in.

I'm assuming Huckasoreass had a hand in making this film since he filmed Shane for fifteen years...
