So what is he up to these days?

Ryan Sheckler’s Early Life & Career

Sheckler was born on the 30th of December 1989 and very nearly came out of the womb skating. According to his family his life long love of skating began at 18 months, when he found his father’s old skateboard. It is said that he landed his first kickflip at age 6, with skate companies courting the young up and comer the very next year. He began his official partnership with Etnies shoes in 1998, and is currently still a member of the Etnies team. In 2002 he began competing in tournaments, but did not get a win in competitive skating until 2003, shortly after joining with Rodney Mullen and Daewon Song at their Almost brand. 2003 saw Sheckler gain 5 first place wins in street comps, and a 3rd place for good measure.

Almost released several videos on the theme of Rodney Vs Daewon, but switched it up a little with Round 3, which featured Sheckler and several other talented skaters. 2003 to 2007 was filled with contest wins, and marks the high point in Sheckler’s competitive career. In 2007 he split with Almost and signed with Plan B, a relaunched deck and apparel firm. It was in 2007 that Sheckler starred in his own reality show “Life of Ryan” on MTV. The show followed him in his day to day life over the course of two seasons. The show actually shot three seasons of material, but Sheckler has stated that production started to get in the way of his skateboarding, and had previously decided that if it was to do that he could quit. The final season was left unfinished, and has not been released. In 2012 he starred in the short form series Sheckler Sessions for Red Bull.

Since 2008 he has appeared less and less in both skate videos and tournaments. A few appearances per year. This is likely due to the founding of the Sheckler Foundation, a philanthropic organization created to assist children and injured athletes. The group to this day holds major charity events twice a year. The group is seeking wider recognition, in hopes to help more children worldwide.
