BIOGRAPHY:
Brooke Shaw brings new meaning to "all-around rider" as a threat in the park, pipe, and snowboardcross course—and she even runs gates. Named to the All-Star Team at Sports Illustrated Next Snow All-Stars as a teenager, Shaw manages to have fun while being competitive against the best in the world. Still, though all signs point to Shaw being a standout in the sport, the young rider has yet to have the chance to truly show her stuff, dealing with back-to-back season-ending injuries in both 2009 and 2010. Shaw had another injury out of the gate in 2011, but she gave it time and closed out her season on snow with a second-place showing at the Rev Tour in halfpipepipe.

BROOKE SAYS:
The last two years have been challenging ones.  Dealing with an injury in any sport is tough to overcome, two years in a row and you begin to question yourself. There are physical challenges as well as mental ones.  I have had some very low times but in the end if your desire to achieve a goal is strong enough you can overcome any obstacle.  As my confidence builds so does my riding and I am really looking forward competing again.

FIRST TRACKS:
On skis at 3, Brooke switched to snowboarding at 6 and learned everything she knows about snow at Stratton Mountain. She loves shredding with her heroine and good friend Lindsey Jacobellis.

OFF THE SNOW:
You can find me in physical therapy! Other than that I’m just at home hanging out with my siblings. I four wheel, jump on the trampoline, go running and wakeboarding when I'm not hurt. I'm just at home with my family.
