SK8 UPDATE - RYAN SHECKLER ESPN COVER

Check out www.sk8rstv.com/sk8rstv for more Sk8rsTV

Skating superstar Ryan Sheckler is on the cover of the latest issue of ESPN: The Magazine as part of their X Games 2008 preview. The 18 year old phenomenon is already a millionaire, has won the Dew Cup three times, won the Street Gold Medal in last year's X Games, and has even starred in a reality show. But sometimes Sheckler is accused of being a “sell out” by some skate enthusiasts, while others credit him for taking street skating to the big time. Sheckler told the magazine that he doesn't mind the people who criticize him, saying “every time somebody calls me out or tries to start something, it’s motivation. I want to give them more reasons not to like me.” Others in the industry praise Sheckler for raising awareness of the sport, like pro street skater Jerome Rogers, who said that skateboarding should go mainstream and that “I'm all for it growing up and being taken seriously. Ryan is helping do that, and he gets hated on the hardest.” Whatever you think of the teenage superstar, Ryan Sheckler is here to stay, and he's raising the level of awareness of a sport that has been marginalized for years.

I think you guys are fucking stupid arse white mutherfuckers that needs to stop judging people cause they have a better life then you, it's his choice on what he does and how he makes the money he gets, your parents must be hurting cause you guys don't have a real income to support your family so please re- think about why you don't actually like him and come up with a good answer.

[Matasosa]

let me put it this, yes i'm fucking jelous at such people, these kids are the reason i quit skating, the level went up too fast i came from days where we didnt know what the fuck a manual was, i admit, but the fact that you are gay when you tattoo your own name on your back does not have anything to do with jelousy, it's a fucking fact

[imtheFreshest]

I think sheckler is pretty gay too...

But now i also realized, that he is doing what we are doing, in a very good way.

course as a person, he is strange...

But he is doing the same sport as we do.

Ryans a faggot and no real skater's jealous of him skaters just hate him for skating for the money not for the love of the sport. And its BULLSHIT hes not promoting the sport the only people who are more aware of the sport now are his little 10 year old fangirls and gay fanboys who fucking have an orgasm everytime they see his picture. Hes just a gay sellout who should play some other sport like baseball or some bullshit like that if he wants to play a sport for money
