"I just want to beat Jamie Bestwick: he rides really hard and keeps me on my toes," said repeat Dew Tour Skate Park champ Ryan Sheckler, when asked what else he'd like to accomplish now that he has two Dew Cups to show for himself. Sheckler was hoping to beat out the BMX Vert rider in the Athlete of the Year contest. cr. Greg Weatherall © 2006 Lat34
Ryan Sheckler
Ryan Sheckler spent 2006 skating around the world in exotic locales ranging from Australia and Spain to China and Dubai. Not bad for a dude born in 1989, but then again he got an early start: Check his website at www.ryansheckler.com for shots of him pushing a board around at the tender age of 18 months.Expect 2007 to be as exciting for him as he plans for the AST Dew Tour, X-Games and a new DVD from Red Bull, along with a new MTV series.
Among his past accomplishments, being crowned as the 2005 Dew Action Sports Tour Athlete of the Year, as well as taking the Dew Cup in Skate Park in 2006. Look for more awards in the future -- there are plenty of years ahead for this phenom.
