Notable:
2001 was a great year for Shannon. Not only did she win gold in SuperPipe and placed second in Slopestyle at WX V, but she also place second in the Halfpipe at the U.S. Open in March 2001, backing up her 1998 Olympic bronze halfpipe medal. And it's no surprise since she has one of the best coaches around, her husband and professional do-it-all snowboarder, Dave Downing. She is also co-founder of Boarding for Breast Cancer with Tina Basich.

Quote:
Shannon has a small part in the new all women's video, "Hardly Angels." "I have a lot on my plate as far as photo shoots, contests, promos, and design meetings with Burton. To film, I really have to plan that in advance and make it my goal."
