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
