If it weren’t for the short list of genuine action sports heros who are schedule to attend the Ryan Sheckler X Games Celebrity Skins Game, the celebrity list would read something closer to a joke: So, Brody Jenner, Mia Hamm, Kevin Federline, Bode Miller, and Vern Troyer walk into a bar. . .
But we shouldn’t laugh. The RSXGCSG (produced by the Sheckler Fountation) will be held July 29, 2008 at the Trump National Golf Course in Palos Verdes, California. And the proceeds from the event will go to four worthy charities: Wings for Life, Road 2 Recovery, The Athlete Recovery Fund, and Boarding for Breast Cancer.
If you want to join Ricky Carmichael, Eric Koston, Sal Masekela, Dave Mirra and the boys, the cheapest foursome spots are going for $20,000. The Gold super VIP package requires a $50,000 donation. We think that package includes getting your balls washed by The Hills Star Audrina Patridge, but don’t quote us on that. (Damn, there we go again. Sorry.)
Golfing sucks, so if you’re going to golf, might as well do it for a good cause. And Ryan doesn’t have to do this stuff, but he does. And that’s pretty cool.
