Ryan Sheckler is just 19, but he's been a professional skateboarder for six years. And later this month, he'll defend his first-place finish in the street competition at the X Games. On Thursday, he talked to FanHouse about the evolution of the sport, how Tony Hawk influenced his career, what it means to juggle being a pro athlete and a business man, and what exactly goes into the Double Pit to Chesty, which was developed specifically for Sheckler by AXE Deodorant Bodyspray.
