Biography
Ryan Sheckler was born on December 30, 1989 in San Clemente, California to Randy and Gretchen Sheckler. When he was ONLY 18 months Ryan Sheckler stumbled upon his Dad's old school skateboard. Ryan would ride on the skateboard while sitting on one knee and push with his other foot. Since the age of 6 he has spent up to 22 hours a week practicing new tricks. Ryan finally turned a professional skateboarder at the age of 14. Ryan Sheckler even invented his own skateboard trick called the Sheck-Lair.
Quotes by Ryan:"A part of me relates to kids my age, a part of me doesn't, I'm not complaining about my life, but it definitely gets to me when I want to go to the beach. But then, I also want to travel and do all these cool things I get to do. It kind of clashes a little bit, but it's not something I can't handle."
"I'm pretty comfortable with the image I have now. People generally know me for my skating, and I think that's really the way I want to keep it. I'm not trying to be something I'm not. This is who I am when I wake up in the morning, and I'm comfortable just being myself. Like, I used to be into wearing all black and stuff like that, but I probably won't be going out and getting full tattoos overnight."
"In my downtime, I try to catch up as much as possible with hanging out with my friends and stuff like that. I go to the movies, ride my dirtbike, and surf. On a Friday night, I like to drive around town with my homeys, find stuff to do. I like being home and trying to take advantage of it as much as possible. I like being a part of the scene in San Clemente, so that's pretty much what I'm out doing when I get a chance. This year has been crazy, though. I haven't been home much."
