Ryan Sheckler: BEING EXTENDED CUT | World of X Games

Considered the first modern child star of skateboarding, Ryan Sheckler was competing at a pro level by the time he was 13, followed by his own reality television show, scores of pro accolades and the trappings of fame at a young age. Rather than burn out, Sheckler adjusted his focus and returned to his true love of skating. Now with the gift of perspective, he’s enjoying a new life of Ryan.
(Originally released in July 2020, Being Ryan Sheckler's full story reached far beyond an 8-minute segment, so we went back to the drawing board and made this extended cut!)

This dude gets nowhere near the love he deserves from the skateboarding community, 100% true hardcore skateboarder, we all owe him an apology

[@polyclot1976]

"and it worked for a while, until it didn't" my life story

[@CarlosCastillo-rw3to]

I remember getting hate for saying he was my favorite but I never cared. I always thought it was so dumb for someone to call someone a sellout to make a comfortable living off doing something you love.

[@fifthgear93]

I get a lot of hate for saying he's still my favourite skater even up to this day. Ever since I first saw footage of him 12-13-14 years ago I knew that dude had some amazing control on the skateboard. His style is just so flawless. Every time I imagine a trick being done properly I always think of how Ryan would do it. Perfect push, perfect flick, perfect catch, always bolts. No unnecessary movements. It just looks right.

[@Ty81494]

They were hating that he was banking and doing better than them in return we lost his show man i loved Life of Ryan

[@CarlosCastillo-rw3to]

Tyler Blanton facts

[@ceaserknk6640]

same

[@brenxnitty]

He was mine too

[@jakeboulevard1964]

Dude... this video hits me so deep. I picked up a board because of Ryan. I’ve always wanted to be like him. I’ve watched everything this man has done. Watching these videos now, I can see how much he has changed. Mentally and physically. Love this dude to the core.

[@PaperFort_]

I’ve looked up to this dude for the longest time and now after watching this he’s gain more of my respect keep on skating Ryan

[@crispcaddy3064]

Abrupt ending has my tears feeling a little misplaced.

[@Gekke_Gerrit94]

Ikr

[@evadeproductions4255]

I think it added to the meaning of the last words, "right here, right now." It kind of puts YOU in the moment.

[@WottysMyPapi]

😂😂😂😂

[@crispcaddy3064]

@@evadeproductions4255 I like that explanation.

[@lukepatto4366]

"Extended cut"

[@samm1084]

When people hate just means you’re doing it right 🤙

[@Yiha94]

Sheckler is one of the best skateboarders out there and he's a rad dude. All my respect...Cheers!

[@Reactx7]

Ryan seems like a genuine dude. Didn't understand the hate back then. He loves skateboarding. That's all what matters.

[@ezassegai4793]

didnt understand the hate back then and still dont understand it now. Ryan is a very cool dude.

[@Hoedetonateikeenc4]

Started skating because of ryan. Always was and still is one of my favorite skaters.

[@renegado4173]

Sheckler was thrown into stardom as a child. I respect what he’s done over time and I respect him as a person. You’re the man Ryan!

[@rainershinefishing3311]

Ryan was and still is on of my favorite skaters, I remember when Life of Ryan first aired. I bought a pair of his pink and blue etnies. I was around 12, and I kick flipped this loading bay gap behind a new target first try completely on accident. That was the trick that got me respect from the older, local skaters. Still remember the feeling and thinking I want to be the next Sheckler lol.

[@unholyghost96]

I remember back in 2007 after the dew tour I met him,got his autograph,and took a picture with him at circuit city. He is a nice guy and it was crazy seeing him and meeting him after watching the life of Ryan. He didn’t ruin anything he inspired and he was such a nice person. I’m 24 now it was just so cool.

[@swarajdweeprabha1841]

Sheckler is one of my favorite when I started skateboarding

[@trev021889]

Sheckler has always been the man! A life that many will never experience. So glad that he is happy with himself at this point.

[@kennethwalker086]

I used to be so jealous of him as a young badass, and i wanted him to fail.. now i cant do anything but praise his determination to rise above all of that hate. He really is an inspiration

[@jaychap644]

You're incredibly blessed to be born and have your purpose sorted out. Not only that.. But experience it all from the eyes of a child. Amazing.

[@mickerrr8001]

Ryan sheckler is by far my favourite skater, his style is mint fresh 👌🏻 and yeah also, first skater i ever watched on yt and he got me into it after i saw his almost round 3 part. Thankyou sheckler ❤️

[@GetUnwoke]

ahhh yes I remember the show. Ryan was so whiny back then. Dude was getting paid to skate, lived in an upper class suburb by the beach in California, got chicks, got to travel, and still found something to cry about. lol (but this video helped me understand why he seemed unhappy) I always liked the way Ryan skated though and thought he was a great skater despite the way he portrayed himself on the show.

[@rockstarollie7979]

what a sick skater man! he made it through all the hate and made out on top and still shredding....true legend

[@edelioavilesjorge6549]

One of my favorite skateboarders. I bought and skated almost all his shoes. Also I had the chance to see him skating in Dominican Republic and it was amazing!

[@thcgamer3093]

Tears. Touched. Can Relate in different ways.

[@ekifakhruddin]

Respect for him and what ever about other people talking, but he did his best to skate. ❤

[@Shannonheartsty]

So glad you guys posted this🙌🏿🙌🏿 really enjoyed this 🔥👍🏿

[@beemelonhead1]

I remember hating on him growing up. But I also remember the times after the show when he completely redeemed himself by proving to the skate world that he kills and he is truly a skateboarder at heart. Respect.

[@dimo3747]

Sheckler is the dude that showed me skateboarding i thinks it's about ten years ago when i was about 6 years old my brother had a crush on a girl that skates and therefore was getting into skating and he showed me Ryan Sheckler and i just watched video's of him all the time like he was the only skater i watched.

[@johnsebastianvallejo7613]

Sheckler you are the reason why I started skating ❤️ thank you for the inspiration! 🙏🏻

[@pdxraves]

The dude is as sick as it gets.

[@flex_piper]

It's fascinating that the way this is put together and how they talk about him towards the end you think he'd be 50 year's old retiring, Yet he's only 30 and accomplished so much.

[@sandiego5429]

This man has been a hero to a ton of us since before a lot of us can remember. Ride on, Ryan.

[@BentMode1989]

this was amazing to watch. great energy

[@sk8er7455]

Wow 👏 how can you not love this guy? Glad he's doing so well.

[@SheikAshii]

Was absolutely obsessed with his skating in the 2000s. Such a sick style still!

[@nickelliott7327]

Man that ending with the kids. I'm not crying you're crying.

[@Matthutchinson]

Loved this, big ups Shecks! Very raw, real and inspiring. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next brother!

[@shawnreems493]

So much respect for this guy! Its amazing to see and hear his path from someone thats only seen the media side its nice to see what he has had to go through and how much he has won at life

[@joolean7799]

Ever since seeing his Almost part when I was 13, he's been my biggest idol in life - this documentation brought tears. Biggest dream to someday meet him in life. Really learned to never ever give up in life by following his journey and career.

[@edrodriguez1947]

He is just one of the best skaters in the world 👏🏽💪🏽🛹 love and respect from Florida

[@chriscooper907]

Growing up in a small community with little to no skate parks I always watched the x games or other events and growing up around the mid to late 2000s watching Ryan, P Rod, and Torey Pudwill I always looked up to them, those are the skaters I grew up with, and I just love and appreciate what they did for skateboarding and what they continue to do, mad love for Ryan!

[@williamthegreat5126]

Sheckler you are a huge inspiration to so many people who skate! I am so stoked I got to grow up watching you and meeting you at The Dew Tour!

[@Fadecountier]

I absolutely LOVED this!

[@jackdanok]

Everyone's ups and downs are always going to be different... but in skateboarding, falling is always the same... so is always GETTING BACK UP !!! KEEP SHREADING RYAN !!!

[@mckuddayou8701]

All the respect in the world. It takes a lot to continuously throw yourself down large obstacles year after year after year. Thanks for inspiring me to start skating. Slam city jam is what got me hooked.

[@krsmovie1939]

You may love or hate him but this guy has written his name into the history of skateboarding with one of the biggest tricks ever done.

[@joeywalker3072]

I love you Ryan Sheckler you’ve been my favorite skater since day 1

[@thcgamer3093]

Skateboarding & Xgames for Life!!.. ☮️

[@davidlindsey5363]

Man I was one of those kids that just hated Sheckler growing up. I love this guy now. You just can't deny his skills and for what it's worth, he's a straight shooter. He's one of my favorite skaters today.

[@mgmodp8966]

great documentary. I used to skate 15 years ago and knew about him.I couldn,t even remember mtv had a show on him. the Guy gas talent. great heart and person

[@robertwallace5498]

Ryan has the sickest style. He and Ishod have amazing flow

[@yrvinmangandi5919]

His boards was my first one I ever bought he was an amazing skater and now thanks to him I’ve been skating for 5 years so I love him and feel bad for all the backlash and negativity he got from the skating community. I hope he knows people still look at him as an amazing skater

[@Tapinnt3]

Ryan sheckler took skateboarding to the next level! 💯🏁

[@Vossflying]

Powerful and clean

[@asthelittlethingsgo35]

That drop in from the redbull video is one of the sickest things I've seen.

[@christian__sullivan]

great video - incredible skater!

[@bastianvidela1240]

I actually got into skating thanks to the show. Crazy to think about it. I was a kid back then and had no idea about skate besides the tony hawk games. But the show got me deep into skating, and still am

[@nickpasquarello1291]

That kickflip at 12:15 stomped out any reasonable argument he wasn't the real deal

[@Sketchbag]

Production value always has this regal-like feeling to it! ♥

[@kanecoggins2127]

He's the raddest skateboarder of all time not in pop culture.

[@josegonzalez1094]

Broski, we love ya man.. keep it up u r motivation

[@iamnotanumber100]

Superb video 👏👏👏

[@jmacsss]

He got me through my teen years. Period, when I got home after being bullied at school, I skated. I wanted to be just like Ryan.

[@derdude8502]

that was absolutly awsome!

[@bigd7722]

Im 26 now but when i was in middle school Ryan was the skateboarding teenage superstar on the planet and he did get alot of hate but his style is the dopest u gotta respect his perseverance to be great

[@hunterdavis3003]

He ended up waaaay cooler than I thought he would

[@nicocasablancas]

"first street skater to have his own show" oh you mean Bam Margera 3 years earlier in 2003? do your research X Games

[@andrewtyree5205]

I hope ur alright Sheckler. Unfortunately he is still battling for his sobriety but I believe he will figure it out. I was with him in rehab about 4 months ago down in San Diego. I’m still sober and hope he is also!

[@thecensoredmuscle563]

[@charliecho3470]

[@clgraff76]

I used to skate with a dude like this. People become jealous when someone has that much insane level of skill that style that's big and confident is amazing and lets face it he was born with a high level of ingrain talent in his dna.

[@andrewfoggo3134]

He is SOOO Good!!!

[@corylopez8149]

Best skateboarder of all time in my opinion

[@gcroller93]
