built 178 days ago
Ryan Sheckler has skateboarded his way into your heart. This 18-year-old competes around the world as a professional skateboarder, but when he's back at home, he's just a normal, sensitive guy trying to figure girls out. Last year, Ryan tagged along at the senior prom. Let's get the juicy details!

Sheckler was born in San Clemente, 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.
