I am going to make some more videos on old pop culture/nostalgic childhood celebs we all once loved. I did a bunch of music related content recently so I hope y'all are ready to get nostalgic again lol
thanks, can you do one on how you got big? it'd be cool
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Damn u are actually doing a great job educate all of us about these people, keep up the great work!
Thank you for telling the whole story of people that i grew up with :)
W
Hell yeah, brother. I'll watch whatever you upload.
It’s sad because you hear a story like this and it’s almost normal at this point. I’m happy Ryan got away from the cameras and is doing well. Legend in my eyes forever.
Sounds like a happy ending and a glorious life with just a little drug problem. Not sad at all.
@@GalactusOG lol the story isn’t sad… hearing a story like this almost being normal is sad. As stated prior.
@@VaughnII98 it is normal. But for less privileged people it is just pure suffering then death. The End.
@@VaughnII98 yeah tbh he had it better than 99% of ppl. I really didnt see a sad part of it beside the alcohol issue. Hos parents kindof used him so I dnt feel bad for them and he literally went thur life. You brake up with girls it's not a big deal. Was he ever 1 paycheck away from losing his home... or working a job where the boss is racist but you take it to survive. Or family member murdered and the killer gets off. Stuff alot of ppl go thur so yeah his life was lit af no sad issues
I don't think that just because a person has money and "a 99% better life than most ppl" that their struggles don't matter. Yeah, breaking up with girls probably isn't a big deal, but I imagine having a camera shoved in your face while doing it just the way someone else wants you to is a different story. His life may not have been as difficult financially as it is for most ppl but the amount of pressure he had put on him at such a young age WAS sad. I think it's pretty arrogant to just dismiss someone else's hardships because you feel you/most ppl had it harder...
He has actually beaten the odds. Not many people are able to come out on the other side in situations like this. I’m glad he’s doing and feeling better.
Because at his core he was a good kid raised with decent enough parents
@@sanban6766 I agree
Actually alot of people recover.
i’m surprised it didn’t turn into a bam margera type of situation. really really proud of ryan.
Meanwhile the most you all have contributed is a judgemental UA-cam comment 🤣 how many of you are absolutely broken human beings sitting here psychoanalyzing a stranger..
Disgusting the amount of vultures and child predators out there, willing to traumatize and use someone so young for their own benefit. Glad he persevered through it all and wish him the best.
Now known as liberals

I met him back in 2009 for only a few minutes during a signing at an IKEA parking lot called journeys back yard bbq. I was so excited to meet him I walked right passed Mikey Taylor and didn’t even get his autograph. I can tell you though, Ryan took the time and looked me in my eyes and said thank you man. I cried bro. I was like 13 but still. The dude is awesome and will always be awesome
Looked u in ur eyes 😅 kinda gay bruh 😅😅😅😅
I know this is an old comment but wanted to share the time that I got to meet him.
There was an Etnies demo in my city and for w/e reason he wasn't skating. Instead of just staying at the hotel or w/e he went and sat next to a wall and hads kids sitting down in a semi circle around him. He just sat and talked with those kids for the entire demo which was around 2 hours. He never got up once or anything just straight kicked it with them. I guarantee just like you, that left a life long impression on him. Before then I didn't really have any strong opinions on him but just thought he was a gifted skater who sold out. After that though it fully humanized him for me and you can tell he's just a legit chill dude.
Met him at a skatepark a few months ago and he was so cool to everyone. Taking pics and teaching tricks. Even gave his board to my friend. Super modest and obviously a complete shredder. Gives back to the skateboarding community and all of us are big fans of his. He’s the real deal.
Yeah he’s really cool
he definitely turned out better than a lot of other starts in his position
🧢
Yea honestly I was a kid when he was coming up and I hated that everyone just loved him for the show haha. Then I saw him at the Tampa Pro and he was chill af. So even at his height he didn’t come off as bad dude in person, MTV did him dirty
Yeah this never happened
MTV is really trash for that man. I remember watching that show when I was a teen. I honestly thought it was so cool that someone close to my age had their own show and was that talented. I never realized how much he was going through. Glad hes doing well today and he made good business decisions.
They did the same to Baam when they told him to have a baby with his then gf for a plot in season 2
That's why it's ''tel a vision''.
MTV and it’s producers should be criminally charged for the hundreds possibly thousands of peoples lives and kids they exploit in the name of “ratings” a.k.a. MONEY…
I remember that show too I thought Ryan was cool as hell . Part of the reason I started
Yup! “Programs”
It’s clear to me that Ryan is just a good person. Wish him continued sobriety and to enjoy the ride in this life. Lots of respect for him as a person and he’s pretty dope at skating
Most people who fall from that high never get back up and he did more than get back up. Dude is a legend and a genuine wholesome human. You don’t have to like him but definitely deserves respect
I’ll never hate on a person who owns up to their mistakes, and turns their life around. Much respect.
In 2007 my best friend's older brother had cancer and through some sort of mom power, Ryan Sheckler came to my buddy's house to hang and skate with us. I have no idea if it was a paid gig or why he even did it, but it wasn't a media thing and is one of the coolest memories in my life
Wholesome! 💜🥰
Cap
@@bagelthug this isn’t the first story I heard of Ryan doing something like that, don’t be bitter
ATTENTION!!! Hell is real!!! We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus loves you and He died for your sins. Repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Once you die, it will be too late to repent. Mark 1:15 For the Kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe in the gospel...
People were so damn harsh with this kid and negligent. I’m impressed he isn’t less well adjusted. He has my respect especially since all these mistakes and excellent decisions were made when he was so young
I’ve been sober a year. Seeing kids like Sheckler and Bieber struggle with their issues only to come out the other side better people really is an amazing thing.
MTV is so scummy, jeez. I'm glad he was able to turn his life around when it seemed like it was going to go bad. Awesome dude.
same
Right? That was shocking what they did.
Uhhh. This is prevalent through out all of the entertainment industry.
@Cardio King 👑 🤣🤣🤣
His homie dyrdek been raping mtv for a decade. Call it payback. 😂
As a skater teen when Ryan blew up I was not at all a fan because of the MTV show etc. As an adult it’s embarrassing to look back how we used to dismiss people as posers when we were learning to kick flip. Dudes a massive talent it’s a shame I didn’t get to enjoy it at the time.
Sad what they try to fill our minds with for the money SMH but it’s also cool to grow up and have that realization and enjoy it now, that’s maturing so respect to you 🙏
It feels like the older I get , the less and less I am capable of jealousy.
Some people never realize what you realized though, and stay bitter .
Yeaaa... I feel you, dude.. Times were a lil different back then. Skating has definitely changed for the better
For us older skaters, once he had his show we knew is was all downhill
And the thing is everyone that had the same opportunity and skill that Ryan had would do the exact same thing.
I used to work as an interviewer for various action sports channel and I've interviewed Ryan several times. I remember thinking he suffered from what I did. I'm an alcoholic and I just knew that he would be too. There was no way he could avoid it. It's so good to see him sober. I'm sober now too.
Good on you bro 👍
Congratulations on being sober brother 👍
I don't skateboard, and I've never heard of Ryan before. But Ryan's straight forward approach to fixing his life and fixing his one big lie stands as a prime example for others. If you read this, Ryan, thank you personally for this example, from the bottom of my heart.
Go away
@@tylersmith9868 I wasn't talking to your or asking for your opinion, so... Eat. A. Bag. Of. Dicks.
@@aIysssa not at all weird nlmao
Did you really just thank some dude for being rich and having the ability to fix a self inflicted problem?
@@brandenhunt9298 We all make self inflicted problems in our lives at some point, doesn't have to be drinking, simple things like neglecting yourself and not being healthy are all things I strive to improve. If one person can change their life, so can another and seeing Ryan actually do something is motivational. Ps, so what if he has money? Does his wealth make you wish you had the same? Strive to be better and treat others well, at least that's what I try to do.
MTV is evil as fuck for what they did to him. We're the same age, and I remember watching him growing up, proud to see a kid my age doing all this cool shit. And then the tv show started, and it felt weird. Glad to finally have some answers as to what really happened back then.
Blame his parents.
@@blokin5039 How about both?
Those executives at reality shows are the evilest people ever. All for ratings and money.
Me too bro MTV is garbage for the way they handled him. Didn't his parents get divorced several years ago too? That must of messed him up even more
@@bkohler89 Dude this video literally answered your question. Didn't you watch it?
Ryan is one of the best redemption stories ever. He used to be so hated for no reason as a kid but then the fans embraced him again cuz they saw he just wanted to skate. He wasn't about the fame and money.
I loved his show always thought he was dope had a good life nice whips took care of momma
I was a huge fan of sheckler when i was a teen, massive inspiration to get better on a board. Wish i did not quit because i was to busy partying
I worked with Ryan's dad for a while and got to talk to Ryan a few times when he showed up see his dad at work. I am about his age, and growing up skating I saw him everywhere in comps and video parts, so I was star struck to say the least. Super down to earth guy, easy to talk to and ripped in the bowl. Glad to see he is doing well.
He sold me meth last year
Wait, how are you the same age as Ryan but worked with his father? Where did y’all work at together?
@@jerrydjones5328 Stance socks. Most people work until they are past 60 so it's not very uncommon to work with people your children's age.
Cool story!!
The fact his own mother went along w production shows her true motives. That’s sick! Poor kid.
She saved him though, chill bro 🍻
@@kc72186 as she should have seeming how she help mentally destroy him. It was about time she took her place as a mother not a co producer.
Bruh the mother was probably under pressure too. Hollywood is ruthless to anyone, don’t matter if your the child or parent
His mother probably got caught up in it too.
@@theboy1625 but she is a grown woman going along with some random people telling her to make her son upset...anything for money i guess...
As someone who personally spent time with Ryan Sheckler and his wife, I just want to say that Ryan is a sweet man! I met him through a friend, we drove from Los Angeles to Orange County to meet up at Ryan’s private skate warehouse. Since it was so late Ryan insisted that my friend and I stay the night. Keep in mind he did not know me from a can of paint, he didn’t want us driving back in rainy weather or super late. We literally stayed the night in his house, stayed up talking about various things and God and many more topics.oh yeah, his dog ate my playing cards. LMAO Ryan popped up with some new playing cards “omg I’m so sorry” and gives me some new cards, as if it was a big deal. The next morning Ryan and his wife asked us to go to church and breakfast with them. I can’t even describe how grateful I was to meet Shecks as a 90s baby I grew up watching his reality show and skate videos, and what made it even more special was that Ryan and his lady were so hospitable humble & sweet. I’ll forever root for this man! And I just wanted to share a REAL LIFE STORY bcuz the internet is full of assumptions. Bless u Shecks!
San Clemente legends
Yeah right.😂 Cool Story bro.
That’s a dope story 🤟
@@gavinsmith7136 thanks Gavin. an Extremely random, unforgettable moment
@@Reeeeeee12345 boy idgaf if u believe me lmao foh
I’m from his hometown and used to deliver pizzas to him all the time. He is one of the humblest guys and I’m glad people watching this can see how much he’s grown and matured. I can’t imagine how hard it was to be that young and have that much pressure on you.
Bullshit...
All that from just delivering pizza?? Didn’t even say how much he tipped.Come on big guy $5-$10 How much??
@@fuzzybutkus8970 haha forreal i’d be interested to know! also whether it was a large corporate pizza chain or possibly a small independently owned and operated family pizza business 🤔 i understand people may switch up often or try new places here n there but OP stated he used to deliver to him all the time.. so this was likely his go-to choice, & which type of business he supports and favors really makes a difference.. _[i dont mean in a _*_“supporting small businesses/supporting your community”_*_ type of reasons, but what kind of taste he has reasons, so we know when it comes to pizza delivery, if he is someone who goes for the better product, or the cheaper price/delivery time guarantee.. you can learn a lot about a man, based on his pizza priorities.]_
Delivering pizza and interacted for a minute so you know about his personality. Wow just wow.
Sometimes people small talk! Damn! @miriam bamford
You can still have positive and negative interactions with people even if you are a pizza delivery driver. ***sorry to break it to you** don’t just assume it was brief and pointless!! How incredibly rude you are
What a LEGEND for going through all of that and actually coming out a better man. What a great guy! Respect!
Ryan Sheckler is a skateboarding legend and an absolute gentleman. Much respect.
I was a skater in high school around the time sheckler was at his peak. I remember showing my buddies his videos and they would instantly roast him and me for showing them the videos. Some of them weren't even skaters. It's crazy how the media can shine any type of light they want on a person and we all just accept it.
Damn why would they roast him? I know he was dealing with substance abuse and all and he got injured but he still always kept it cool to me.
wrong. I never liked this ryan kid and never watched his dumb show or seen him do anything besides be in a movie ,i didnt care about seeing him in the x games etc, I naturally ignored his existence .
@@thoticcusprime9309 so what exactly did you not like? You didn’t pay him any mind but “not like” him. You just proved the point of this comment.
Because we as a Human race allow "Society" To Control and Confrom us into being brainwashed idiots who don't fight and or think for ourselves...... Its time people as a whole start to re-evaluate the "Societial Structure" because its FKN BROKEN AS HELL.. We live in a world that we feel sorry for depressed rich ass mofos who had a silver spoon thrust upon them and we cast people to the Dumpsters who had everything taken away from them at early stages in life before they ever had a chance to fight for anything worth a damn..... Society is Fkn Assbackwards as hell Stop Feeling sorry for Rich Cunts that could fkn care less about the 99%.....
@@Undrconst dudes a dummy look at his name says a lot about him
I remember him from MTV like probably most of us. That show did its job because as a young impressionable kid, seeing him with this fame and fortune made me want to tune in and I didn’t give a crap about reality tv. All the girls all over him, cameras on him, and still being so young was what MTV wanted us to see.
I still love him, you can tell he's a good person. I wish him all the best.
I feel so bad for him. It’s so insane that grown men would manipulate and traumatize a teenager.
Thats pretty normal for child stars or actors especially in show business
You can't really blame the executives his parents had to sign the contract I'm not 100% sure how much the parents get but it's usually between 60 to 70% his paycheck goes into their bank account and he gets rest in a trust so messed up it should be the other way around
@@YouFallenforit yea that’s totally scuffed to say the least. And I’m sure the show is what led to his parents getting a divorce. That reminds me of Ryan from Ryan’s toys. Think about how much money his parents are making from him and how much is he really going to see if it when he grows up. Because in his case he has made enough money to literally retire already! Of coarse he will keep pumping content as long as possible but his parents will replace him with a younger sibling probably, I feel terrible for famous children.
Don't feel bad for him. Struggle is what forges iron wills. He is much stronger than he'd have been without the events that unfolded. Focus on your own betterment. Not on pity for others. Cheers.
@@YouFallenforit the contractual obligation of a percentage being placed in trust for the minor is a fairly new law in California. It's entirely likely it wasn't legislated and sign into law prior to this guys signing, making all he earned available to be spent by the parents. I don't know this guys story, but I hope it doesn't include being ripped off by his own parents...
He was a fave of mine when I was a kid. Thank you for reminding me of him! Glad to know he’s doing well now-a-days. 💛
Really enjoyed this vid. Ryan's willingness to be so honest since that one lie and his rehab stint is inspirational, and it should be a lesson to us all. We're all human...but not all of us reach the top of our chosen field in life. He deserves happiness and I wish him nothing but the best of everything in life. ❤
Ryan's a legend. That kickflip off that huge gap will forever be one of the sickest things done on a skateboard.
This dude used to legit write me back on Facebook when I was a young ass teen and give me encouraging words and stuff man true story a valid good dude to me
Thank you for making this video. I actually forgot about sheckler but am glad to hear he's finally in a good place.
Good for him! i have so much respect for people who are honest and has the courage to change their life.
What a cool guy. I never knew what happened to him, but it’s good to know that he’s turned things around and reconciled with his past.
Good on him for turning it all around 👍
Did not expect to find you here :o
Are you gonna report him for underage drinking, smoking pot, grinding on rails? 🐀🐀🐀
Karl shreds
@@thenickmurphy13 he's a snitch if you didn't know
Take Ryan to India
All the love and respect in the world for Ryan. The world needs more Ryans. What a story. He’s an Overcomer. Always has my respect
You are a King of documentaries Patrick. Thanks for the work you put in every one of those vids!
Cheers from Poland ✌🏽🇵🇱
Its cool how he was able to turn his traumatic childhood into something so positive. Good to hear hes doing well now
I feel like these kinds of videos rarely have happy endings but this one did ! And you did thorough research while being respectful towards Ryan and his legacy. Great work Patrick, this video was refreshing.
I have a vivid memory of Ryan Sheckler doing an Oakley demo at Wakefield Skatepark outside of DC when he was 15. The park had a rule that required anyone under 16 to wear a helmet and he refused so he stormed off to the tour van and on the way he met a girl who was roughly 20ish and he gave her his number and invited her to a barbecue.
I can't help but keep watching more and more videos, informative and interesting stories mate, well played my friend 🤘🙏🏻
It's so sad how many child actors get thier life ruined once they grow up, Unless they have family members or a team that actually do care about the child actor instead of seeing him as a money machine the actors are always set up for failure
It's not even *once* they grow up, it's typical when they're on the _verge_ of adulthood, 16-18, that a lot of seedy things about their management starts to be revealed.
Props to you for covering a skateboarding topic, we love to see it. I didn’t know you were a skater
Frr
I was never a decent skateboarder by any means lol But I have always loved skating and paid attention to the culture in my middle school/early high school years!
Loved the video your my favorite UA-camr
@@PatrickCc the back stories and following skateboarding has is unmatched. If I wasn’t a 33 year old with a 5 year old daughter I’d kill to get back on the board so I feel you brother. Love the channel and the work you put into the research and videos.
@@citystars1117 teach your daughter to skate. that way you have an excuse to ride again
I absolutely love the story telling format you perfected on this channel it's like watching a million dollar budget documentary. Also thank you for encouraging me to drink more water you probably saved my life!
Well done Patrick for making a video that made us understand better some of the things Ryan had to go through. It made us empathize and ultimately respect his full story instead of just hating him for the surface level stuff we were shown by the mainstream.
I'm always happy to hear about people admitting their own faults and growing from them into better people. Massive respect to this man for realizing his problems and dealing with them like a man should.
I'm convinced his parents built an amazing foundation and helped him develop a strong moral compass. Even when he was surrounded by not the best influences he knew deep down it wasn't right and corrected his mistakes. They allowed him to make mistakes and were there for him when he asked for help. What a strong and amazing bond they must have.
You're literally on a UA-cam comment section talking about what a man should do, stfu.
Man ryan was literally the justin bieber of skateboarding.
I remember being obsessed w him and wanting to wear red bull fitted hats and get my ears pierced w diamonds and loving plan b and everything he was my idol..
I can only imagine how much he has gone thru in the eyes of the public tho.
Literally the “justin bieber hairstyle”
Was actually “ryan sheckler hair”
And I remember that time so much.
I loved the show so much too i would love to rewatch it again.
I loved him, when i as a kid, and i still do. God bless you brother, you're a Legend and my Childhood Hero.
Thank you for making this video.
Life with Ryan was such a joy for me and my sister to watch when we were younger. I also suffered child trauma and also had my own addiction chapter. Prayers for Ryan, he will always be a legend.
Amazing show
What’s good is he is stronger than ever now. Still professionally skates and does a lot of stuff with red bull

Thank you for this video! I used to have an absolute CRUSH on Ryan, growing up. I am interested to get into more of your content! I am so glad to have your video popup on on my feed, because I had forgotten about Ryan.
Ryan has been thru so much at such a Young age...my hats off to you bro..I'm glad your on the right path now bro bro..😊
I went to high school in the same district as Ryan’s high school when he was a senior. He was at the height of his fame but was just an angry kid, and got a bad reputation/almost got his ass kicked a few times.
Watching this makes me realize that most kids that age would act that way for what he’s had to go through. MTV ruined his teen years and manipulated him into being a monster. So happy he’s doing well now
Why was he angry and had a bad reputation?
@@dougyeefresh87 Take 16 mins of your time and watch the video. Everything is answered.
Trauma is a powerful drug
His dad seemed like an ass
Another commentor said different although I'm betting yours is more likely. Anyway that guy said he used to deliver pizzas all the time to him and he was humble
Dudes a legend, we love you Shecks thanks for everything you’ve done for skateboarding.
Good for him. He seems like a very cool man nowadays. Glad he made it through.
💯
God Bless him. As a person who quit drinking i can't imagine going through that with ppl trying to scrutinize your every move.
Literally just dropped one of his best video parts this past couple days. Glad he’s doing good
When I worked at woodward I got to spend a lot of time skating with Ryan and he is a pretty nice down to earth guy and always made an effort to compliment kids on their tricks and go out of his way
I always felt like he was being destroyed by everyone around him. I know we own our own actions, but it's hard to be in control of your own life and reactions when your life is literally being scripted behind your back in evil ways for everyone else's gains. Childhood stars of all sorts suffer from these types of issues. It's severe emotional damage, trauma, control...whatever you want to call it, but eventually the mind breaks.
I can respect that he took responsibility for his drinking and lying about jumping the “20” but it’s clear that not everything was his fault. MTV clearly engineered drama that tore his family apart. People who watch these vile reality shows have no idea about the real life consequences inflicted upon the people behind the scenes.
Cry me a river. This is not adversity
@@thisgame2 you got soft hands brother
Well done, thanks for making this!
I have never heard of Ryan before but this video was really engaging! Thanks for sharing his story, it’s great to see that he made a life for himself as an adult!
It's rare to find child stars that go through all of this and then recover and live to tell the tale.
Child stardom is not for fainthearted.
It’s not for anyone…. No normal kid is supposed to live like that. Its apart of the reason our young teens are starting to deal with such mental problems.
I don't think it is that rare. They're everywhere, and none of them have a good word to say about it.
Cant believe my boy is covering skaters💯 skateboarding might be makin a comeback 👀
Hyped!
its been made a comeback. its in the olympics
@@justincbryant ikr, its the most popular extreme sport by far and a multi billion dollar business these days.
I had forgotten all about him, I watched that show. It’s good to see him doing well. You’re a great story teller.
Wow great story. I did not have a childhood myself, so, I know the feeling. So happy for Ryan. God bless Ryan and his family.
i was a huge sheck fan in the early 2000's. i wanted to be a pro skater, and my mom & i used to watch life of ryan religiously because their relationship really mirrored ours. honestly it probably brought my mom and i closer and taught her a lot more about a sport i was so passionate about. really glad he's navigated such a difficult life and came out the other side better for it. true redemption arc.
I’ve met Ryan in person one time. He’s such a humble amazing human being in real life. God bless his soul.
Same he’s awesome
Dude is coming back hard with the new part!!
Wow.. This was an eye opener. Good work, Pat!
Almost Every 12-14 year old boy wanted to be Ryan Schekler for a period of time. Thanks for making this video showing that we should all value our childhoods over fame and fortune
I remember seeing him with expensive cars amd living in a mansion and think to my self jeez this dude is living the perfect lofe
And several people around me at that time, who were obsessed with wanting to do the same, had already died by suicide or braindead by drugs abuse, to look like stupid children in an adult body.
Good video man, I’m 28 and remember all the good times and bad times of Ryan, definitely looked up to him as a kid, especially a newbie skater, fame and fortune will change u but the most important part to remember is it’s all about the people you surrounded yourself with. Much love to Ryan and all young people that were idolized as child stars.
Seems like a good guy in a crazy environment. I don't skate anymore but i will buy his products and support. Very nice put together video sir.
Fair play to him. I remember when he was blowing up back in the early 2000s. It was crazy to see a skater turned into a celeb then get his own version of the Osbournes. I didn't realise MTV were that messed up. Really glad he's turned his life around and it's on a positive note. Great video.
My teenage crush 😢 I always feel so bad for these child stars, it's truly not fair. Adults taking advantage of children is disgusting.
That's Hollywood for ya!
@Sassy Baka Nah it's for every industry that makes kids work not just Hollywood
Ya let's not forget most kids are abused by their own families. And the media/Hollywood keep pushing their pedo agenda. A sad reality we live in idk what else to say.
All the hate he gets now is for choices he made as an adult. You shouldn't feel bad for him.
Oh shit ur gay?
Patrick, if you don't skateboard then you did an amazing job at covering a skateboarding related topic. You got all the lingo correct and made it easily understandable for people who don't skateboard. As a spokesman for the skateboard community, I say good job.
Ps- if you do skateboard, the video is still amazing lol
I'm proud of Ryan for the man he's become!
This was really well done. Great job.
I went from not really knowing who Ryan is to literally being on the verge of tears. I wish him all the best. God bless.
Sheckler was such a big name in my house back in the early 2000s. I never knew what happened to him and it breaks my heart. But I'm so relieved he doing better
Loved the video learned a lot. Ryan has my respect and he really did turn his life around after going overboard as many do when success hits them.
I've always had great respect for that kid!! I'm glad he found his path... How dare we put expectations of a young soul then punish him for it
As a skateboarder and teenager when Ryan was at the height of his career in the mid 2000s when he joins the almost brand skate company...founded by Rodney mullen .....
he seemed to be at the top of the world winning X Games skate competitions and became one of the Premier competition skateboarders in the world....I remember watching life of ryan..you could see the problems arise
I had no idea about his problems with drugs rehab and other issues.......
I still have mad respect for the guy. All that shit he went through, he learned from it, and that's the best thing you can do while dealing with that amount of shit.
I still remember being a kid and looking up to kids like Ryan and Nyjah in round 3 and elementality and thinking "wow, we all really can make it". Still skating 20 years later.
Ryan and Nyjah still kill it and nothing's changed regarding these up-and-coming kids, they come out stronger every year. Feel like both Ryan and Nyjah had a real impact and opened a lot of doors for companies scouting young talent.
Nyjah is still killing it, he was recently robbed of skater of the year by thrasher smh
Just don't give up bro. You will be a famous skater with his own show someday.
@@Reeeeeee12345 if this guy was a kid when ryan and nyjah were kids, i’m quite convinced that he will never have a tv show from being a famous skater, dudes at least 30, if not 40~50…
@@Reeeeeee12345 😂 like lick his milky milky cocoa puffs why dont you? 🤨💀 lmao chill out bro
ATTENTION!!! Hell is real!!! We can not hide our sins from God. Jesus loves you and He died for your sins. Repent and put your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Once you die, it will be too late to repent. Mark 1:15 For the Kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe in the gospel...
Thank you Ryan for all your hard work and talent. I'm sorry you went through years of emotional and other kinds of awful abuse from your peers & TV crews, and that you lost out on things you felt mattered. You were rad from the time you were conceived, and I always selected your character in any Tony Hawk game you were featured in ❤️ All my love to Ryan and the skateboarding community
Thank you
I grew up watching him he’s like 5 years older than me, and as a little girl back then watching him gave me courage to skate!
My mother took me to the dew tour in Baltimor back in 2008, the same year Chaz Ortiz came onto the seen in the competition for the full tour.
I didn’t get the chance to see him as we got there late, but we did meet his father and he gave me an autograph a truly nice man! 💪🫡
I’m so proud and happy for him, God Bless him and his family!🙏🫡🔥💪❤️
As soon as he got a reality TV show on MTV I mourned for him. This poor kid is being exploited and he's going to suffer for it.
This guy is a legend. An absolute beast. I am a little younger than him, but remember him coming up!!! He's gone through some stuff and honestly did well holding his own and making it through life. I have nothing but respect for him. He's doing great for himself and society.
Ryan will forever be one of my biggest motivations, I loved his style and the attitude he had towards skating...sucks how he was treated when he was a kid
The ending gave me so much joy, I’m genuinely glad for the guy 🙏🏼✨
What a journey. He definitely deserves success and being able to lead a happy life.
I've been involved in martial arts since the same age that Ryan took up skateboarding, and never even came CLOSE to being world-class like he was. Just goes to show, you either got "it" or you don't. No shame if you don't, but it's a nice "what if" thought exercise to imagine reaching those heights. Hopefully minus the drawbacks of being a child star, of course.
Shoudlve taken up boxing and you would’ve got eyes on u: I wish I could’ve started something at a young age. I whole heartedly believe that anyone can make it w the right talent n dedication
It's not about you have it or don't. It's about the work you put into it. There are plenty of athletes that it didn't come second nature. They worked their asses off which is probably something you didn't do and there's no shame in it. They probably ran laps around you in terms of practice hours
It’s about dedication
@YoungCorruption I competed at the amateur level in Muay Thai and MMA, but after a few too many concussions, I needed to preserve as much brain health as I could. It had nothing to do with dedication; I spent more time in the gym and on the mat than most of the pros, but I'm not a natural athlete and stopped seeing my health as something worth sacrificing for money and/or glory. I'm still involved in the sports, and still actively train to stay in shape and remain capable of defending myself, but my plan to be a world champion lost its luster when I started having medical issues associated with head trauma.
@@yomomma.. i feel you i have the same thoughts.
It feels like im good at nothing man..
I have watched this vid a couple of times now 😂 brings me so much nostalgia. I remember being like 10 or 11 and being obsessed with skating and thinking Ryan was the coolest kid ever. I always wondered what happened to him since the show ended so suddenly. It sickens me that all these adults put him through so much and that he never had anyone to keep him in check. I’m so happy that he’s doing so well tho. Seems like the most genuine guy. As a married man myself i know what a good woman can do for you and im glad he’s got that kinda support. I miss skateboarding being this popular. Skaters used to be up there with singers in popularity. Hopefully he’ll bring it back now with a whole new perspective and spreading a positive message. Wish him the best for real.
What an amazing story
Great video! I’m glad he has been saved 🙏
Ryan seems like a good dude. Screw MTV for doing this to a young kid all for their own personal gain.
I never hated on him, his love for skateboarding is pure. Got a lot of respect for the guy.
