Ryan Sheckler: Childhood stardom, skateboarding, alcoholism and faith | Full Interview

[@codyweedman]

i remember seeing ryan in a xgames many many years ago and remember me and a buddy going down the bleachers to say what's up and asked for an autograph, security tried making us get back and go away and he stopped them and moved them aside with this look on his face like "leave them be" he signed are stuff and said thank you and pushed on. to this day that memory is carried with me. genuine than and genuine to this day.

[@tweedledee9573]

Ryan and I are the same age. I met him at 13 when he and the spitfire crew came through my hometown. I remember being so blown away at his talent. He signed a poster for me that I regrettably gave away some 5 years later. How cool to see what he’s done.

[@robinpallets]

Had an opportunity to meet him a few different times coming up skateboarding. Always such a cool dude. Shout out to the legend!

[@Crispy44652]

Such a genuine dude. It sucks to hear MTV corrupted his childhood. Probably led to the depression and alcoholism. For what it took from him, hopefully the show has allowed him financial freedom.

[@emiliocasillas694]

He makes more money from other outlets. His show ended badly because he broke contract right before the end so re runs of his show never even got aired

[@RTveg]

That’s what MTV does. I’ve seen “sweet 16” tell alls and how they made the girls be brats when they weren’t.

[@igotgame1621]

One of my favourite skaters top

[@14isoldenough]

Dont blame the show. Blame his parents.

[@14isoldenough]

@@RTveg stop blaming show and blame the parents

[@GoddesssofMind]

Always enjoyed his energy. Good to see him

[@ThePoopiesChannel]

Let’s go!!! Such an incredible comeback and so inspiring!! ❤

[@TechOutAdam]

He was doing so well mentally until that show came out. I remember looking up to him in high school as a skater and my friends and I couldn't tell if he was just acting or if his issues were real on that show. God Bless him for being a born again Christian.

[@mattlubas4038]

Thats the issue with addiction.. It usually takes more then once to get it right because the mind only sees the good times and good feeling and very easy forget the pain and misery.. addiction is no joke..so good to see him doing well! What is will be.. also I think it can shape the way u think..you tend to enjoy the little things in life.. and just to wake up happy is huge! Congrats on everything!

[@pepper10santos]

sweet! my new nickname is 'cryin' richard'. good job dude! i'm 50 and could use your advice on a regular basis. the humility you have, with regard to your access is unbelievable. you inspire man, keep it up!

[@mrmeliodaskid]

Amazing interview! Great to see Ryan doing good 👏🏻

[@tannermikal2]

This is REAL!! Thanks Ryan for sharing and being vulnerable 💯

[@HRM.H]

Ryan is a skating legend.

[@johnadams8371]

wish more people would think more like this dude. wish i did too.

[@chapsbareng]

Such a rad testimony. What the Devil intended for evil, God turned it for good. So proud of your brother.

[@eveningstar8581]

Amen! 🙏🏻

[@PapaYazzi]

Amen

[@mckdogdrums3543]

Shecks just loving skating and you can really tell in this video. He’s always done some crazy spots from all his parts. Plus he was insanely successful at a young age for contests so he’s seen it all really.

[@Ka1_3r0u9h]

Super wholesome interview!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@matthewleos71]

We love you graham thank you for all the great interviews!!!

[@murdersaab8999]

[@jamespeterson5223]

I just wanna say I absolutely loved and enjoyed this video. Looking forward to more like this. The drink water part made me an instant subscriber 👍

[@natesenter5223]

So glad I looked up to him 23 now and still do I’m also taking the lords hand in faith now ❤️

[@eveningstar8581]

Amen! God Bless You, my brother in Christ! Keep on keepin on your walk with Our Father🙏🏻

[@soundwave8842]

Hail Satan.

[@natesenter5223]

To each their own

[@elroddin76]

Respect for this guy. He has gone so big. That Costco kickflip is mind blowing.

[@SamuelCasillas-nunez-en9xk]

That was so inspiring to me I think he’s my favorite person in skating just after this💯

[@tonycruise]

deep questions and ryan you are very brave because the skateboarding community is very tolerant of everyone but its hard to a be a Christian.. great interview, Jesus also changed my life and now i am back skateboarding better than ever at age 31 almost 32

[@bri_guy508]

This kids been through the ringer more than once! Glad to see him doing good. Btw his house!🤑🔥🔥🔥

[@Matoakas]

Man.. I get kinda nostalgic seeing Ryan. Him being on Mtv and all.. It brings back memories. Good times man. Everyone from - GOOD - the MTV era knows what i mean. Just shitkids having fun, love and break ups, partying, skating,.. just messing about, listening to punk rock. Now we, and our idols are grown up.. Some are even old, or rests in peace. Man.. Good times. I know some say they wouldn't go through it all again.. but man, i would! All the pain too. It was innocent times, and you felt invincible! Now being an adult, I understand what pressure, anx and also addiction, actually... stuff he says abt taking the ego out of it. It's important. When you GET sober/clean, that's just the first part of it, to STAY clean is a job you gotta do the rest of your life. You never stop having the addiction. I got mad respect for both the human, and the skater Ryan Sheckler!

[@daytonjohn777]

Damn props for bringing up rapture, we in those times

[@eveningstar8581]

That's truth! It's says when that which is bad becomes good, and that which is bad becomes good! We are there, my friend! Always look to Our Heavenly Father over the world

[@jerryhello]

I agree, but nobody knows when. Not a single one of us. So workout your own salvation with fear and trembling, my dude.

[@blackskater1rs]

God be the glory!

[@eveningstar8581]

Amen!🙏🏻

[@mrwoody1413]

I’m not gay but growing up he was my “male crush”.. I grew up watching this dude. He’s a beast.

[@JordenMorin]

Praise Jesus ❤

[@ryansperception]

Who?

[@JanoyCresva]

Such a cool interviewer.

[@technocatdance]

he seems like he is in such a positive place right now he had quite the career already and still more to go

[@irifikkk8489]

Nyjah Houston ruined skateboarding wen he turned up boii was unbeatable still today I back him in every contest he goes in

[@joygracias]

sheck alway be ma fav since day one! and how God put him till dis day and being His believer in the skate scene to spread the word. what a God plan for sheck ! rejoice @sheck

[@xMXWLx]

wtf does he mean WHY DID TONY HAWK COME TO YOUR 6TH BIRTHDAY? ......he is ryan sheckler....his parents did everything involved in skateboarding for him......like what??

[@andyjeffrey9590]

I would’ve been like ,”why didn’t Tony Hawk come to yours”?

[@grantvanbrimmer6471]

This is great

[@pauliewalnuts5241]

Ryan has really become a good man.

[@bentrujillo6406]

Wrestling is the greatest sport in the world, and it makes you better for so many other things, including life

[@Backinthedase]

This upload is super late dude, but still dope

[@lamontthurman9227]

Man i haven’t seen this guy since he appeared on rob dyrdeks fantasy factory and Chanel west coast was foaming at the mouth over him

[@lindboknifeandtool]

He’s a dude we all looked up to and thought was cool. Not a single moment of negativity that I remember. In my opinion a shining example of a role model and public figure.

[@lindboknifeandtool]

Hey! I’m a cry boy too! Every day!

[@RemoWilliams1227]

​@@lindboknifeandtool I have been lately, fucking depression.

[@slikkwell]

Learning how to fall! I never learned.. between moto and bmx I've had 9 broken bones and a screwed up back im only 40 and can barley walk after a few hours on my feet. Its a tough love! If your a young and up comer that loves extreme sports and want to dive into it.. id recommend learning how to fall it's a key to enjoying your passions/hobby and life..(edit) I just wanna add i think confidence is a major tool of learning all of it. 💪😎🤘

[@14isoldenough]

I didnt like the show but you grow into adulthood i watchedthis whole interview.

[@grifyn882]

poor kid :( :( :( i almost cried....

[@lcr7519]

Those are the same coaches in my living room lol

[@oldsoul8134]

This guy to me was too legion in the skate world ! Hard to live that life so young and survive this is a great story GodBless Ryan Congrats !

[@dorianfrasier4930]

[@cujosdogbowl]

“...And I said God Damn... God Damn that Bible pushing man!”

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

Bro I'm 5 mins away from your hometown

[@amanda001tx]

Saddest thing ever to watch. This could've been Aaron Carter today, both were around the same age & kinda same level of fame then both fell from it. Both became addicts when their mental health declined. Sadly 1 isn't here anymore bcuz no one would admit he had a problem & let him manipulate ppl to sweep it under the rug.

[@sean-gj1mw]

What are you talking about - this guy is married with a kid now and overcame a lot of adversity

[@philipsimmons2170]

AA convention easrer weekend be there!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dan524]

I’ve never heard someone say bro so much

[@PolozWorld]

One day ill skate with the GOAT. Sheckler, P-Rod, Kareem, Dixon, Dyrdek, Kalis, Koston. One day. One day.

[@AL_KING777]

They’re on “Deeude” and “brah” level now.

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

Big time bro

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

Mister mom 😂😂😂😂

[@KuyaArbee]

he kinda looks like the dude Robert Himler who did his Lambo vids with his mom and gf... RIP Robert Himler

[@cpclifton]

Video was awesome, with them in the same room talking for hours without mask, to riding in the car together wearing chin diapers. Love Ryan and his journey, but the virtue signaling has got to stop.

[@Davanillaguerrilla]

Dude broke his elbows that many times Jesus bro

[@infamousfanclub]

The rapture huh. Well do what makes you feel good. He’ll be a legend forever.

AA Christ ruler positive

[@dorianfrasier4930]

Aa

[@ivankornuta1921]

Bro tattoos God Doesn't like. Read it in the Bible

[@dirtnapz996]

Whole interview is full of dumb lies. Tony hawk was a young pro, so the whole “idk anyone who went pro at a young age” is complete bs. Ryan partied in videos as a kid, but he “didn’t party”.. okay, can’t listen to this dude.

[@williambarringer6513]

“Partying” when you’re 13 is probably not comparable to people in their 20s up all night drinking and doing blow or whatever to a point that it’s a problem

[@undeadchrist]

he definitly was the yougest from that 2005 era nowadays its more common

[@Popunkwillneverdie]

Your home town sucks

[@leehollebon6041]

LEGEND VERY SPECIAL RARE TALENT WHO AGREES WITH ME 😂👍

[@KJO415]

Love this interview, Ryan you the man!
