[on how the movies inspired skier Shane McConkey to attempt BASE jumping] Have you ever seen 'The Spy Who Loved Me', the James Bond film? The culminating moment of the opening scene Bond is skiing down in a yellow suit and to get away from the bad guys he ends up flying off a massive 3,000 foot cliff and he releases his skis, falls for awhile, it looks like he's falling to his death and then - boom - the canopy opens and it's the Union Jack. That really got Shane hooked when he was a child.
