You’ve have to go back all the way to Tigerbeat photos of Leif Garrett on a skateboard to come up with someone with the ability to drive teen girls wild like Cryin’ Ryan Sheckler. And USA Today is all over the story.
He also has become a teen heartthrob who attracts hordes of squealing, screaming female fans to his competitions and public appearances. “I think of myself as a skateboarder first and a guy on TV second,” he said in an interview after the June 19-22 Dew Tour Panasonic Open in Baltimore, where the crowds of girls seeking his autograph were so huge, organizers had to post signs near other athletes’ tables reading “Not Ryan Sheckler.”
Confession: we watch Life of Ryan religiously. So we know what they’re talking about. Okay, not really.
