MY WAR: Ryan Sheckler

Two broken bungees, 100-degree heat and a torn ACL tried to keep Ryan from riding away on this three-trip battle. Even after the make, he still lost some blood. Ryan's a fighter.

[@zaboo4088]

So happy to see Sheckler still skating at this sort of intensity, and I'm also happy to see the community rallying around him. For a minute there I think he was probably one of the most hated dudes in skateboarding. With this part there's no denying he's a beast and has worked hard for it all.

MY WAR is one of the best series ever on YT. I don't even skate but this format has always been hugely inspirational!

[@samsgotplans]

Navigating your adolescence and 20s, whilst dealing with global fame and (I assume) significant wealth, without falling off, pileing out or imploding on some social media land mine, is without question the gnarliest stunt of Sheckler's career. Shit, emerging from a 20-year stretch as a public figure (let alone pro skateboarder) with maturity, humility and integrity feels like an NBD... It's genuinely impressive. Much respect Ryan. And congrats on the new part.

[@harorider96]

More people should give him credit for that. Childhood celebrity lifestyle was always fascinating to me because everyone judges the dudes for “acting out” when they can’t imagine how hard it is to handle. Good for sheckler

[@vancouverbill]

For sure. Fame is super fickle beast. Don't want to name names but many others, probably most others come out the other side of teenage fame with addictions, health issues and breakdowns in their mid life. You nailed it that getting back on track mentally was biggest achievement. The skateboarding will follow if you can pull that off

[@EddiXP]

I remember he was given alot of shit when we were younger for some strange reason. Always loved Ryan

[@josephbryand4301]

​@EddiXP he had a show back in the day and on that show he was throwing a fit and punched a hole in his wall lol. But i look past the negative bs cause all i see is a great skater.

[@bigmike1850]

What are you talking about he’s a raging drug addict POS. He’s not an ambassador to anyone or anything besides drugs and a wasted life. You think he deserves sympathy because he was RICH AND FAMOUS as a child? Are you high?

Ryan always goes big. Dude is a legend in skating. I remember seeing him as kid in thrasher and transworld back in 02-03 and here it is 20 years later and he is still killing it. Unbelievable 🎉❤

I'm 40 and have skated with Ryan in Hawaii several times for Plan B demo's, and once at the Vans skatepark in Irvine if I remember once and that was when he was like 8yrs old. I've watched him grow as a kid, skater, man, into the humble, inspirational man he is today. Its inspiring and so rad to watch him still doing it. I still can't believe it took Ryan that many tries with that FS Flip Gun he has. Awesome production and story! I love these and the old skatespot stories I grew up skating! PS Thrasher please do one on the Santa Monica Court House, or the old Venice Pit. Or both. LOL

Legit, so glad they did this because in the part it really didn’t look that insane. Getting to see the full picture makes it seem so gnarly.

[@LakeCountySkateboarding]

He got a lot of hate back in the day, and I think a lot of it was due to his MTV, but he was still a kid. Despite the hatred, he was still always one of the best in the world. His recent part is gnarly, and it was inspiring to see his battle with this trick.

Even though I was already awake, he still gave me cpr. He's also a gold medal mouth to mouth wizard. We went home and did more stuff. We are just friends though.
