SHANE OR SUPERMAN?? Shaneminorfans.com EXCLUSIVE!
Many of you may remember Shane's effort about a year ago when he helped a Nevada couple, when they were trapped in their car? Well, Shane's hero radar went off once again about two weeks ago. Shane and his road manager were headed to TCBY for a a frozen treat, but when they arrived, the two girls behind the counter were crying hysterically and had the door bolted shut. They explained that they had just been robbed, and Shane and Luis just missed the robbery by about one minute. Shane got the scared girls to open the door by telling them he was an ex-lapd officer. Upon getting into the store, he called the police and helped take the report. Not only did he help contact the police, but actually stayed with the girls, helped them call their parents, and waited until the police got there. Our story source beilves Shane to have some kind of superman type karma! We agree! We don't know, however, if they ever got around to getting a triple scoop with jimmies or not...
ROPIN AND RIDIN FOR CHARITY
Those that know Shane, know that in addition to music, rodeo has always been one of his first loves. Shane has been once again indulging in his love for the sport, and is starting to team rope, hoping to compete soon. Our source says he loves it and says it is the closest thing he can do to riding bulls-- but the death factor is a little lower. He is also riding cutting horses and will compete again throughout the year. Although it was his first actual cutting competition, he won third last year in a celebrity cutting!! Shane is also working on putting together his own celebrity bullriding for charity and hopes to have it together next fall.
