history.
Early life
Sheckler was born in La Palma, 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. [2] He turned professional in 2003 after winning in the X Games, Gravity Games, Vans Triple Crown and Slam City Jam. [3]
Career
Sheckler's career took shape during the summer of 1995, when Sheckler's dad built him and his friends a new quarter pipe along with a few other additions making it a small skate park. A few years later, he joined the CASL (California Amateur Skateboarding League) and entered one of their contest and won. He idolized Tony Hawk and wanted to invite him to his 7th birthday party. Hawk attended the party and took some time to practice with Sheckler. [3] During 1997-2001 Sheckler was winning the CASL state championships. He picked up his first eye wear sponsor from Arnette. The same company was sponsoring Tony Hawk. In 2004 he was named the World Cup of Skateboarding’s National Street Champion. In 2005, he was named the World Cup of Skateboarding’s National Street Champion and the Dew Action Sports Tour Athlete of the Year. In 2006, he won the Global Assault in Australia and finished 5th at the Tampa Pro in Florida. [3] Ryan has had roles in the movies Grind and MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate, and and stars in his own MTV reality show "Life of Ryan".
Personal life
Upon turning pro, he states "Haters come out of the wood work! They spread hate about you, your family and your friends like mad. That is very new to me. I just can’t figure out why people hate on people they don’t know". If skateboarding had not worked out for him Sheckler states "I would definitely have been deeply involved in motocross". His other passion is cars, "Hot rods, sports cars, trucks, exotics, it doesn’t matter". At 17, he is still finishing high school in homeschool. [3] In addition to skateboarding, Sheckler also enjoys surfing, wakeboarding, and swimming.
