Celebrity gossip site TMZ got a copy of the original MTV contract with Ryan Sheckler for the first year of his reality show Life of Ryan. TMZ thinks he was overpaid, but it doesn’t really seem like it to us.
The docs show that when Sheckler was 17-years-old, dude was making $9,617.70 an episode for his reality show “Life of Ryan.” . . The docs had to be signed by his guardian and the president of his company, Ryan Sheckler Inc — both of whom happen to be his mom. . . . But Ryan wasn’t the only kid from his family cashin’ in — his brothers Kane and Shane also got paid for their sidekick roles, each were $1,500 a show.
There were eight episodes in season one so that means Ryan made $76,941.6 for having his life blown out on MTV. Aside from the fact that the show was basically an ad for Ryan Sheckler, Inc. it doesn’t seem like all the much for a hit MTV show.

Looks like the high-flying celebrity life is taking its toll on Tony Hawk. Can you believe how quickly he’s aged?
Okay, it’s just make up for his “Mad Professor” character in some upcoming Huckjam Bicycle commercials.

Delia Bautista-Cruz, 31, of Navoto, California pleaded guilty to hit-and-run yesterday after hitting a 14-year-old skater and then driving away.
The collision occurred on June 29 on Ignacio Boulevard, where a tan Ford Explorer clipped a 14-year-old boy who was skateboarding with friends across the four-lane road. The Explorer was traveling an estimated 25 to 30 miles an hour, and the boy fell to the ground. . . The victim’s friends heard the driver say “Oh my God” before driving off, authorities said. . . The injured skateboarder was treated at Marin General Hospital for cuts to his face and scrapes to his arms and legs. The boy received several stitches to his face and has permanent scarring, the district attorney’s office said.
Cruz, who had no license and is on “a no-bail federal immigration hold” which means she may be deported after she serves her time.

After spending the whole day at the Crossroads Trade Show last year we didn’t have the stamina to make it through the best trick contest. We’re not going to let that happen again and neither should you. This year $10,000 purse with backing from Thunder, Spitfire, Thrasher and Kayo. It will be boss.
Crossroads Trade Show 2777 Loker Ave W Carlsbad, CA. 92010.
