Jim Rippey joins Erik Roner in giving his friend and mentor Shane McConkey’s snowmobile a fitting send off. The duo took Shane McConkey’s old Polaris off an 800ft cliff in Canada. (Don’t worry, they cleaned up afterwards.) Roner took to Reddit the same day the video came out to answer questions.

Coming off a broken femur in Alaska at the end of last season, Backcountry.com Athlete Erik Roner offers a lesson on how to take down Squaw Valley.

Backcountry.com Athlete Erik Roner goes Mary Poppins in the latest Roner Vision when he takes a hot air balloon up high enough to try floating down on an umbrella.

Backcountry.com Athlete Erik Roner heads to Valdez in the latest episode of Roner Vision. He bags some great lines and skis where no one’s ever been before (except, he aptly points out, the cameraman who’s filming him).

The Nitro Circus crew, including Backcountry.com Athlete Erik Roner, has released the trailer for their upcoming 3D movie. It looks to include lots of things with engines (as you might expect), but the clip that made my palms sweat was the BMX front flip between skyscrapers. Their tagline “The Crew That Makes Bad Ideas a Reality” really nails it.
