The RICHARD BRANSON of skateboarding is making moves once again with his fame and fortune.  Ryan Sheckler is broadening his cause towards making this world a better place to live by putting his foundation to good use.  This is happening while other skaters (I won’t name names) are making this world a more stoned place (True story.  I saw a skater today, 4/20, smoking a fat doobie on the streets of Melrose Ave.  He was in front of a medicinal marijuana clinic of all places.)  You as a skater can choose which skater you would like to emulate.  The one that smokes dope on the streets, or the one that tries to help people.  I can already imagine a bunch of smart asses picking the dope smoking.

Sheckler invited some of his closest friends and collogues to take part of this momentous occasion.

Event Set for May 29 at the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest?Today etnies announced the Sheckler Foundation’s first Skate for a Cause event, benefiting the Make-a-Wish Foundation, will be held on May 29 at the etnies Skatepark of Lake Forest.  Running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Skate for a Cause will include a demo, three best trick contests and a skateboard carnival village with games and activities.
