Ryan Sheckler, stepped onto an old board belonging to his father when just eighteen months of age. He took the board with him everywhere he went for the next three years. In 1995 he came across his first quarter pipe at a buddy's house in his native San Clemente .

Three years later, his new backyard mini-ramp helped him improve by leaps and bounds, soon propelling him into the local skatepark scene and a CASL State Championship victory every year he entered. He picked up eyewear sponsor Arnette, the same company that boasted Tony Hawk on its' roster. Ryan Sheckler had met Hawk years earlier when the skating legend made an appearance at his birthday party. In fact, Ryan's talent at nabbing contest wins is snowballing today. Right after turning pro in early 2003, he quickly proceeded to bag back-to-back world-class professional events like the Slam City Jam, Triple Crown New Jersey , Gravity Games and the X Games.

In 2004, Ryan Sheckler took home the title of National Street Champion for World Cup Skateboarding. In 2005, he successfully defended the title as National Street Champion and added World Street Champion to his long list of accomplishments. That same year, he won two of the five events on the Dew Tour. Having accumulated the most points out of anyone in any discipline on the tour he went on to secure the title of “Athlete of the Year”. In 2006, he won three of the five stops on the Dew Tour, and claimed the overall title for the second consecutive year. To this day, Ryan Sheckler takes his board with him wherever he goes. He does something with it rain or shine, day or night.

During off-board hours, Ryan enjoys riding his Yamaha YZ125 dirt bike, snowboarding and surfing, as well as a little headbanging to Metallica, AC/DC and rap like 50 Cent. With such a successful past behind him, Ryan's future goal to be "one of the best pro skaters ever" doesn't seem so outrageous. In fact, it seems most likely. Needless to say, keep an eye on Ryan Sheckler, as he is sure to be breaking it off in the years to come.
