Is Ryan Sheckler the real deal? Or just some TV Promo Fodder on MTV?

This is to follow up on the story from last week. We are seeing too much
about Ryan on the MTV show. But what about his skillz? So you be the judge man,
is Ryan the real deal? The vid is heated so you tell me if it is all that?

 

Sheckler’s career took shape during the summer of 1995, when Sheckler’s dad
built him and his friends a new quarter pipe along with a few other additions
making it a small skate park. A few years later, he joined the CASL (California
Amateur Skateboarding League) and entered one of their contests and won. He
idolized Tony Hawk and wanted to invite him to his seventh birthday party. Hawk
attended the party and took some time to practice with Sheckler.

During 1997-2001 Sheckler was winning the CASL state championships, where he picked up
his first eye wear sponsor, Arnette, the same company sponsoring Tony Hawk. In
2004 he was named the World Cup of Skateboarding’s National Street Champion. In
2005, he was named the World Cup of Skateboarding’s National Street Champion and
the Dew Action Sports Tour Athlete of the Year. For 2006, he won the Global
Assault in Australia and finished fifth at the Tampa Pro in Florida. Ryan has
had roles in the movies Grind and  MVP 2: Most Vertical Primate, and stars in his own MTV reality show “Life
of Ryan“.
