Summary: SWEETNESS!!!
Review: I purchased the vid given the hipe and because McConkey is an awesome skier. Having watched this back to back with some of other ski flicks... my impression was that the film was not of the same standard (skiing or filming).

The thing that bothered me, and everyone of the adults (expert skiers) in the crowd was the immature non-skiing footage. It really detracted from what could have been an entertaining movie.

Rating: 2 stars

Summary: Agree with Edgy
Review: I wish I had seen Edgy's review before purchasing this DVD. I was interested in a movie with skiing footage. This has about 25% ski footage, 25% base jumping, and about 50% stupid skits.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Flick
Review: Most other ski movies just have music and skiing. That's great, but this movie has far more. As the name suggests, it highlights Shane McConkey's impact on the present movement/revolution in skiing (and BASE jumping), but it doesn't fail to leave out other players like Mosley, Morrison, Davenport, and others. This movie doesn't just make you think, "That trick was sick." It will also make you laugh until you can't breathe. At the risk of sounding trite I will say this movie is motivating. When I don't really feel like making the drive up skiing, I pop in the DVD and I can't wait to go by five minutes into the video. Even if you don't like skiing that much, you will still love this movie. It will make you want to ski.

Summary: SWEETNESS!!!
Review: Okay, this isn't the most innovative skiing video ever, but it covers important parts of freeskiing hisory and how a rebel skier helped revolutionize it.
There's nothing sicker than a McConkey invert off of cliffs and the hugest switch fronts and backs i've ever seen.
There is also a cool BASE jump in Canada at midnight with Olympic god Jonny Mosely as the get-away driver...
Although most of the music in this is from Surfdog Records, it isn't all bad.
And there's nothing funnier than watching a white [guy] try to break dance.

Summary: There's Something About Mcconkey
Review: Recently on a skydiving trip I had the opportunity to view an advance copy of "There's Something About Mcconkey." To my surprise what I expected to be more of a favor to my friend than entertainment turned out to be one of the best ski movies that I have ever seen. Mcconkey's wry sense of humor combined with his ability to take the sport of skiing to its outermost edge left my heart pounding with exhileration and my eyes filled with tears of laughter.
