Ryan Sheckler - How to get Sponsored

In 2004 according to Ryan Sheckler the best way to become sponsored was to not even think about getting sponsored. Just go out there and have fun and do what you normally do and someone will notice you. Ryan Sheckler entered the CASL tour and won the series. If you can win events like Ryan Sheckler, he did say “I guarantee they will notice you and recognize what kind of skills you have. If you go out there and your main purpose is to get a sponsor, then it's not gonna work. Just go out there and have fun. That's how I got sponsored.” Ryan Sheckler never even made a "sponsor me" tape. “I was just skating and wasn't even thinking about getting sponsored and it all kind of fell into place.”

Don’t let an injury or anything get in your way. When he fractured his foot in two places he was just skating a nine-stair hand rail, trying to do a Smith Grind. Ryan says “I calculated it all wrong and I fell in an awkward position and broke my foot. That was bad. That one really hurt.” And just in case your career doesn’t take off make sure you keep up with you school work. When Ryan was asked, how do you manage to keep on top of your school work when you spend so much time skating and working on other things? Ryan Sheckler replied, I just motor through school in the morning and then go skating. I'm really good in math and like it a lot. Social studies is one I don't like so much, but I still do well in it.
