Shannon Boyles, daughter of the yappy KHOW host Peter Boyles, is on her way to skating stardom.
Boyles stars in an upcoming episode of “Made” on CMT. It’s basically an adult version of the teenager “Made” that runs on sister station MTV.
In March, CMT contacted Boyles (after reading about her skating skills in The Denver Post), asking if she’d be willing to live in Corpus Christi, Texas, for five weeks to train a 27-year-old mom of three how to be a roller girl.
“Heck, yes, I was,” said Boyles.
It was tough, says Boyles, and hot. Very, very hot.
“I had to teach her how to skate, blocking, whipping, how to play derby. Teaching derby is tough. People get hit, people get hurt.”
Will there be blood?
“A little.”
She also had some heart-to- hearts with the woman that Boyles hopes will make it on the show.
“I just don’t know how they’re going to edit down five weeks of shooting into a one-hour show,” says Boyles. “But I tell you, it’ll be a good episode.”
Boyles plans on a viewing party at 8 p.m. Sept. 15 at Bar Standard and/or The Living Room, two bars on the 1000 block of South Broadway. You can check out the show at .
You will Survive.
“Survivor” host Jeff Probst comes to town Oct. 18 to help host the Be Beautiful, Be Yourself Gala Fashion Show — and he’ll have a few secrets under his belt, like who wins the upcoming “Survivor: South Pacific,” the 23rd season of the reality old-timer.
And the big news: It might be a Colorado kid. We have three contestants in this year’s challenge. Jim Rice, 35, is a medical-marijuana dispenser, which is definitely a survival skill. Two “Survivor” alums from Colorado return for their third efforts: Ozzy Lusth and Benjamin “Coach” Wade. The show premieres with a special 90-minute episode Sept. 14.
Fear of flying/driving.
The National Organization of Women Pilots and United Airlines offer up Flight Without Fear classes starting Sept. 13. You meet 6-8 p.m. on Tuesdays for eight weeks — then take a graduation brunch/flight on Oct. 29. It’s $600 — which is cheaper than taking a train everywhere. Write ajbikes@yahoo.com to get all the info.
What if you’re scared to drive in the winter snow and ice in the mountains of Colorado? Especially when you’re driving a four-wheel- drive Ferrari FF that costs $359,000? Well, you’re rich and in luck. You can take Ferrari driving lessons in Aspen starting in January. Open only to Ferrari owners; call 866-551-2828 for more deets. Believe it or not, there will be a charge for the lessons, even after paying $359,000 for the car, but they have not yet determined what it will be. Hold on to your seat.
