Ryan Allen Sheckler (born December 30, 1989) is an American professional skateboarder as well as star and namesake of the MTV reality show, Life of Ryan. [1] He was also featured on MTV`s show "Cribs" when he was 14.
[edit] Early life
Sheckler was born in San Clemente, California, to Randy and Gretchen Sheckler. He has two brothers, Shane and Kane. At the age of 18 months, Sheckler found his dad's old school skateboard. Sheckler taught himself to push it around by using one knee, and eventually stood up on the skateboard. Since the age of 6, he spent up to 22 hours a week practicing tricks in his backyard - which includes a half pipe, table tops and several grind rails. He developed his own trick called the Sheck-lair - an indy kickflip flyout.
Ryan Sheckler has received much dislike from the skateboarding community. Many other pro skateboarders and kids skateboarding for fun say that he has sold out and is a wimp. The reasons why they say this come from his TV show called "The Life Of Ryan"; skaters everywhere say that he is only being paid to cry in front of a camera, and dislike him because he says stupid things like "I just wanna find a chill girl" in his unnecessary reality show. He has reportedly said, on one occasion when asked for an autograph, "F**k off kid, I'm busy,my girlfriend is elldina."
