Only The Lonely Complain

by The Editors on July 18, 2008

Sheckler1Ryan Sheckler’s already talking about the quotes that are wrong in Allison Glock’s ESPN Magazine story Just Another Lonely Millionaire Skateboarder.

At the AST Dew Tour Right Guard Open (how’s that for sponsorship) he had the following to say about Allison got the whole “selling out” thing wrong:

They said something in the ESPN interview that I was comfortable with selling out which is completely not what I said. It is not selling out. I haven’t sold out. People say what they want to say, but in my eyes I have taken my skateboard career and gone on a different path. It might not be the same path as some of these core skateboarders that think that their path is the right way. There is no right path in skateboarding. I want to do something different. I love this. I love the fans. My life is crazy as it is and this fits right in the puzzle piece.”

Okay, okay, Ryan. You’re not selling out. You’re just getting paid.
