72.25.160.96 22:08, 9 April 2007 (UTC)Shantelle Marie Castle born in Colorado Springs, CO. She started snowboarding at a young age in the year 1992. She was a American professional snowboarder based in Breckenridge, Colorado. Castle has accumulated an accomplished competition record in snow sports and has appeared in a number of media programs and snowboarding magazines. She has been a notable competitor in the extreme-sports such as the X-games and other sponsored competitions since she was about twelve years old. Castle stands 5' 8". She rides regular or goofy stance, and usually twelve and negative three degrees on her snowboard. She has been spotted riding Burton, Unity, and Roxy. In 2005 Unity signed Castle to be a part of their team. One week before season opened, Shantelle was injured in a local tournament that was held in Steamboat Springs CO. Castle injured, told Transworld "Im still going back out there to do pipe, no matter what!" It hardly needs to be said that Shantelle had an incredible year, easily topping her 2004 season. Winning medals will do that, you know! All the training with her brothers Jordan and Josh over the past two summers at Breck with personal Olypmic and US team trainers(including Jason Smith) paid off big time, as she was able to qualify easily for the Olympic team with a first, second, third, and fifth in the four Grand Prix Olympic halfpipe qualifiers. Of course, let’s not forget the X-Games, where she won the superpipe gold medal. Once she bagged gold, things really took off, as she embarked on a whirlwind tour that took her all over the west coast. She rocked it on the slopestyle circuit with a win at first at the Roxy Chicken Jam where Roxy tried to recruit her. In fact, she had such a successful year, and locked down so many mind-blowing photos, that she literally has the magazines beating down her door for interviews. Highlights include getting Punk’d in LA by Ashton and absolutely charming the pants off of Dave Letterman. Behind the scenes, Shantelle found time to help develop a new women’s board line with Kelly Clark and Molly Aguirre. Despite the limelight, Castle is a totally grounded girl, and loves to spend as much time as she can at home in Breckenridge and Missouri, where she attends school, with her brothers and her parents. Does she still have a future in snowboarding? That is debatable, although she would love to design a brand of snoboarding gear.
