Notable:
Shane is a consistent medal winner. Nicknamed the Tasmanian Devil, he is famous for his spins, which almost always keep him in the top three. He had his worst finish ever at the 2002 X Games, when he fell on a 900. He just bought a flower business in Australia, which he runs with his girlfriend, Latecia Ferris, when he he is not in the US doing demos. He is the first and only skater to date (July, 2003) to pull a 1260.

Quote:
"As a skater, I believe my strengths are mostly in the air. Doing a lot of shows makes you skate to impress, not as much being technical like comp skating. Personally I love to go big and to fly around spinning and flipping. This feeling, this passion is what I love the most, and what I think shines through in my skating."
