REDBULL CRASHED ICE CAREER 

Shane competed in Ice Cross Downhill (Red Bull Crashed Ice) from 2007-2015 and won the National Shootout in Quebec City, Quebec 2007, Canada in 2011 and St. Paul, Minnesota, U.S.A. in 2012. He has competed in events all over North America and Europe including Moscow in 2014. His best finishes were 23rd, 25th and 32nd (due to unfair disqualification).

In February 2013 Shane fractured his L2 vertabrae and was forced to take the remainder of the season off.  With a serious injury such as this, the organizers for RedBull Crashed Ice were amazed to see him come back to compete the following season in 2014.

Now that Shane has a son, his priorities have changed and have had to give up competing (for now)
