E365 -- 17-year-old skating phenomenon Ryan Sheckler isn't just another glory-seeking celeb wannabe. Yes, he's got a MTV reality show following him around, but unlike most people in that situation,he's actually done something to warrant it. And the verdict from the show? The kid's alright.

Skater turned rock-star Sheckler was at Tilly’s (a surf skate retailer) signing autographs to promote his new line of t-shirts. Over 3000 screaming pre-teens showed up hoping to become “future girlfriend of Ryan Sheckler” on Valentine’s day. Seven girls even camped out in front of the store overnight to be the first in line. An orderly promotional event turned into chaos as larger than expected crowds were told Sheckler would be leaving after the four hour signing event. (Hormonal teenage girls should not be underestimated. They may be small but have fists of fury… don’t get between them and their favorite MTV heartthrob.) Long Beach PD was called… uh oh… and all hell broke loose.

Somehow the 17-year-old Mr. Sheckler maintains an unusual balance — between the physical and the emotional, friends and family, work and play — at a tender age. When he’s in midair, it’s easy to worry for him, just as it is now that he’s in midfame — a block-long billboard figure on the Times Square facade of MTV, and still a safe distance from the older kids who are chased first by MTV, then by TMZ, then by the L.A.P.D.
