Although Shane isn’t usually a man of very many words with his riding doing all the talking that is necessary…. We figured between his banger of a promo for his signature Isla line from Fly Bikes, word that his anticipated signature Blind freecoaster from Eclat is FINALLY getting close to being released and the NBA playoffs in full heat that it was a good time to catch up with him to see what’s new in his life. Let’s check out what he had to say!
Name: Shane Weston
Current Location: Nashville TN
Sponsors: FlyBikes, Eclat, Dan’s Comp, Fuse Pads
Years riding: 14 years I believe
What’s new, Shane? I’d imagine you’re getting pretty pumped to watch post season of the NBA right about now, huh?
I’m pretty bummed. I got rid of cable to save on moneys. But I’ll probably hit a bar for the playoffs and root Melo on.
Once basketball season is all over, what’s your plan? Do you have a pretty busy summer coming up?
For the exception of the Eclat trip to Austin I just got back from, it’s pretty chill here on out.
How are things going with Fly Bikes? Any trips or projects cooking up with them for this year you’re looking forward to?
Fly is going well! Not that I know of right now.
Your promo video for you signature Isla line from a few weeks back was fire! How long did you film for that one? How psyched were you on how it turned out?
Thank you! Umm off and on all of 2013
What’s new on the Eclat side of things? Seems like you guys are always going on trips, anything there?
Just got back from that Austin trip that I mentioned above. Stoked to see all the dudes!

We’ve been seeing a bunch of previews for your signature Blind freecoaster. What’s the status on that? Any chance we’ll be seeing it in the next few months?
I am currently running the Final Prototype and its feeling perfect! I’m not sure on the release date yet, but it’s coming.
The Dan’s Comp “Roll Call” video has been out for a minute now. Have you been working on any new projects with them at all?
Not anything yet.
A few months back, you chose to step away from Ipath after they started making a bunch of changes. Any chance you will be rocking some fresh shoes anytime soon for anyone? Do you have any other sponsor news you can tell us about?
No new sponsor news. Dan’s Comp is helping me in the shoe game and I can’t thank them enough!

I know you just had your Isla promo drop, but I know you stay pretty busy filming. Can you drop some hints on some videos you’re working on right now? Any chance we’ll see some fresh footage surface soon?
Currently about to start filming for the Blind Coaster promo. Pat and I are finishing up a Sixth Ave edit of clips we have accumulated over the winter. All backwards stunts.
Outside of trips with the sponsors. Are there any places you’re trying to get to this summer in particular you aren’t already planning on going?
I’m more of a home body. But I’ll be taking a trip to the beach and chill for a few days hopefully.

What have you been getting into when you aren’t riding or yelling at a TV? Any new hobbies or things you’ve been psyched on?
Everyone is Nashville has been playing a lot of pool so I guess that.
How can people keep up with you these days?
