The future of skateboarding has a name, and it's Ryan Sheckler. At thirteen-years-old, Ryan is the youngest rider on the World Cup Skateboarding tour circuit, and definitely one of the best riders in the world. At the age of 12, Ryan took two 4th place finishes in World Cup competitions, showing that he definitely can throw down with the world's top pros, and that sheer skill, not age, make the skater.
I've you've and managed to miss Ryan in competition, you may have seen him staring in movies, TV commercials or in one of the several professional skateboarding videos he's done. He's been on MTV sports, ESPN, and has even made the cover of Sports Illustrated for Kids. Ryan has traveled all over the world in the name of skating, and manages to go to school too. With all that, there's not much time for being anything else except an action sports celebrity!
