Ryan Sheckler, stepped onto an old board belonging to his father when just eighteen months of age. In 1995 he came across his first quarter pipe. Within a few years, Sheckler joined the CASL (California Amateur Skateboarding League) and proceeded to win one state championship after another, picking up eye wear sponsor Arnette. In 2003, at the encouragement of World Industries, Sheckler turned pro at thirteen years of age. He immediately put an end to any uncertainty of his ability with first place finishes at the Gravity Games, the Vans Triple Crown, Slam City Jam and the X Games. In fact, his success in the Skateboard Park event made him the youngest participant ever to earn a gold medal at the X Games, 13 years old.
In 2005, he successfully defended the title as National Street Champion and added World Street Champion to his long list of accomplishments. That same year, Ryan not only took the overall title in skateboard park at the Dew Tour but he also earned the title "Athlete of the Year" by accumulating the most points of any athlete in all disciplines on the tour. In 2006 and 2007 Sheckler also claimed the overall Dew Tour title.
