Ryan Sheckler was born in San Clemente, California, to Randy Sheckler and Gretchen Walsh. He is currently 19 years of age.

 

His 2 brothers are named Shane and Kane. Ryan first started skating at age of 18 months in his driveway with the neighborhood kids.

 

He moved to Arizona for a number of years and lived in Columbus, Ohio for a short time.

He later moved back to California to pursue his talent in skateboarding. 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.

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.

 

Sheckler began skateboarding at eighteen months old and by the time he was four years of age he was performing ollies. He then became one of the world’s youngest professionals in the sport at 13 years old.

In August 2003, Sheckler competed in the X Games and became the youngest participant ever to win a gold medal, taking first place in the “SBX Park” event. Sheckler finished the 2003 season ranked first in the world in the street discipline, having taken first place in the event at the Gravity Games and third place in the event at the United States Skateboarding Championships.
