Goodbye Mr Sheckler

[matt]

Wow ... It's been a while since i've been here. But I'm glad to see this hasn't turned into one of those sheckler fansites. I was actualy glad you guys stopped the oh-gravity. Don't get me wrong ... the site was insane, realy good but the problem was Sheckler.
I once had a fansite about him, as I say it for myself a pretty good one actualy but I got over it. The moment Life of Ryan aired i was like, ow no come on. But i could live with it, for me he was still that awesome skater and i hoped the MTV hype would be over anytime. Nothing of this was true, girls started screaming everywhere he came and Ryan Sheckler was getting more attention because of his show than of his skateboarding. Although he was still ripping on his board. My lack of interest in that young skate god became less and less and he wasn't the guy i looked up to anymore.
I stopped updating the fansite but wasn't like fuck Sheckler. I was cool with him but that was it. Just hoping he could become the skate brat again. This summer i was traveling Europe and suddenly we started talking about Sheckler. In Europe i had the feeling they still saw him as the skater, no MTV star. That moment i told my friends over there, 'if sheckler will play into a movie like a real actor or trying to be than i'm so over him. The same evening i checked the internet and found the news about him and his Tooth Fairy thing. Sheckler was past for me then. Why am I saying this ... well to show the new fans why we get sick of ryan.

I've been a fan of him since 2004 I guess. When he was that little guy skating along the big guys and beating them hard time. That kid who loved skateboarding more than anything and he seemed a realy down to earth guy as well. Think again as I see him now.

It's sad to say goodbye to some of your 'heroes' as you may call it. I hope he'll change one day ... and if not than fuck it!
I'll always love to see him skate, cause he is realy good ... no discussion about that but he needs the drop the glamour thing realy soon! It's not like's he doing it the right way if you ask me. I'm not going to say he's bad for the skateboarding industry cause he does promote it big. But it's sucks to see how he is changed ... in all kinda ways.

Anyway glad to see the down to earth people over here realizing the entire life of ryan is crap! Live your life the fullest and damn his show!

Haha sorry for this long message but this needed to be say

don't worry, all the older fans get you. we all feel the same way. i wouldn't be surprised if shecky.piczo felt the same way when she updated less and less. it's what we all felt when we had websites of him.. like after our interest fade away, it was hard to let go.

tbh, i told the other girls the only sheckler fansite we'd support would be yours. sheckler fans in general just piss me off. but what can i say? they're all 16 or younger. or their maturity level is still at 13.

as for sheckler, i've already stated my opinion on this kid. there are SO many celebs out there that are so much worth being fans for, but whatever, someone's gotta love the ugly, arrogant, kid & that for sure will NOT be me.

[taylor.]

fucking HIGH FIVE guys.
i feel exactly the same way.

btw, chaz ortiz ftw. i hope to dear god that he doesn't turn out like sheckler. also, btw, has anyone realized that nyjah huston kind of took himself or his father took him out of the spotlight? esp that one year at the dew tour.. after like the 2nd or 3rd stop, he was rusty/fell a lot. poor kid. but im so glad that it happened bc everyone was like "hes the next sheckler" that kid has heart and im so glad he isn't being overworked. he's gotta be a kid! i almost feel bad for sheckler cause at times, he was never a kid.. and that one year when he went to HS, he wasnt in the skate world a lot but it was that sacrifice you have to make.

idk that went on longer than i expected haha

[matt]

HA yeah I hope Chaz doesn't turn out like Sheckler. You never know, Sheckler was once that little shy kid as well, I think we'll know that when he turns 18 or something. If you ask me that's when Sheckler changed the most, damn I just hated it to see that kid change sooo much. I miss those times where he went on trip with etnies and did some skater jokes with Arto Saari and the rest of the team. Just keeping it cool, no crying about the girlfriends in SC. Or remember the vid with etnies in NYC, i loved that kid who he was there.
Chaz is in the same area right now, but I think the kid will thake a good decision and won't end up like Sheckler, at least I hope. That's all we can do ... hoping.
Nyjah Huston are doing it the right way, just sticking to the video parts, doing lots of smaller competitions and show his face at some of the BIG contests.
Sheckler should do that more, just go to other contests than the Dew Tour and X Games etc. I was glad he entered 'bust or bail' this year, those are contests he should do. Keep it skate, keep it real. Do it for the real skate fans, not the crazy girls who would pay $30.000 to meet him. Ha we'll see what turns out of him.

Anyway I'm glad some people get it =]

This is exactly what I've been thinking,
what happened to the old Ryan?
LOR totally killed him.

Idk,
I'm a fan of David Loy.
Crazy ass am.
I think he'd make it big.

Oh, and I've got one thing to say about Ryan.

He's definitely GOT to stop trying to act gangster.
