Who Knows who Ryan Sheckler Is?

Answer 1

Whoa! I do. He's a pro skateboarder, and he's only 16, also he's from CA. He skates for the Almost skateboards team and Etnies skate shoes team, and he's sponsored by Volcom and stuff. I see him on every TransWorld Skateboarding and Thrasher mags, and he appears as a character in the Tony Hawk's American Wasteland game (the latest release). He's also going to skate in the X-Games. And much more else haha, that dude is a terrific skater.

Competition
Sheckler began skateboarding at four years old, and, in 2003, aged 13 years, Sheckler became one of the world’s youngest professionals in the sport. In August 2003, Sheckler competed in the X Games and became the youngest participant ever to have won a gold medal, taking first place in the “SBX Park” event. Sheckler finished the 2003 season ranked first in the world in the street discipline, having taken first place in the event at the Gravity Games and third place in the event at the United States Skateboarding Championships.

Sheckler has continued to find success in park events, winning two events in 2005 on the Dew Action Sports Tour and, having accumulated the most points over the Tour’s five stops and across the Tour’s skateboarding disciplines, taking the title of “Athlete of the Year”.

Sheckler’s performance in street events has been mixed; he finished ninth in the event at the 2004 X Games but nevertheless finished 2004 ranked second in the world in the event, having also captured a Gravity Games bronze medal and United States Skateboarding Championships gold. In 2005, Sheckler finished third in the street event at the World Championship of Skateboarding in Munster, Germany.

In skateboarding circles, Sheckler is known for the eponymous “Shecklair” move, a combination of a kickflip, stiffy and an Indy air completed with the legs fully extended.
