My Skateboarding Style and Strengths: As the youngest pro skateboarder on the circuit, Ryan Sheckler has blown away the crowds with his ever increasing skill and variety of skateboarding tricks. Ryan Sheckler skates fast and hard, rarely bails, and has strong technical skateboarding skills.
My FAVORITE TRICKS:
In an interview for the X Games, Ryan Sheckler says, "I normally like to skate a good ramp over something, so last year at X Games (2004) when they had the jump over the bush, that was fun. And good set of 9-stairs is good too. Right at the moment, I'm doing good at everything I'm skating, spinning, flip tricks, it should be better for me at X Games (2005)."
My personal history:
At the age of 18 months, Ryan Sheckler found his dad's old school pool riding skateboard. Soon after that, Ryan began to push around on one knee, and eventually stood up on the skateboard. Ryan Sheckler is now a teenager, still in school, who also happens to be a professional world famous skateboarder. Ryan was home schooled through 7th and 8th grade, and attends Futures High School (a one-on-one school program for athletes and actors). Ryan loves riding moto-X along with skateboarding.

My quote:
