Yeah, dude. It's another wild ride and this week is special because it's not just one super interesting, totally dynamic professional skateboarder on this episode.

There's two. Who's the other one? Me. That's right. As you're about to learn, I have made myself a professional signature skateboard, Stevo skateboard.

Yeah, I went into the factory where they made them and signed everyone before they got shrink wrapped. Of course, we did a very small run.

Very few available at stevo.com, but I wanted to be podcasted people to know about it first. So if you want to get a signature Stevo skateboard, go to stevo.com. But more importantly, ladies and gentlemen, Ryan Sheckler.

You, yeah, dude. Fucking right on, bro. So, man, dude, so psyched right here in the RV is like 100 skateboards. I turned myself pro. Got the stevo skateboard right here in my hand. I have not yet set foot on it. And we're parked right outside. Ryan's training facility. That's just call it.

Oh, yeah, I mean skate park, trying to facility, whatever, whatever you want to call it, man, we use it for for everything, man. So you turned yourself pro. Yeah, has it ever been done before the history of skateboarding?

I'm sure people have turned themselves pro. They might have turned themselves pro, but no one turns pro and then prints 100 of their own boy and signs of.

Yeah, I went into the actual manufacturer and signed every one of them before they were shrink wrapped.

Is that something you're going to do the whole time? You're always going to do that. Dude, it was a lot of fucking work, man.

Was it? Yeah, dude, imagine how many boards Tony has to sign or like, dude, whenever we have to do like a, or we do a cool, you know, drop for plan B, it's like a thousand boards.

And you think it's nothing to really sign a thousand, but right once you have like you forget how much a hundred skateboards weighs.

Like that's a lot of weight. I know. Then to unwrap them, sign them, unwrap them, repot them back in the box. Like it's it's not really. Well, he just signed. How many, how many prints did you just signed last night?

Well, the last couple days I signed 1260 prints of those wall ride photos. Oh, sick. Yeah, that photo turned out rad. I was hyped to be there that day, dude.

And that's only half of we got 2500 of them. We're you we're signing shit at 13 Ryan. Yeah, you're probably saying shit at eight at eight. Yeah, it was it was crazy because like, dude, I started competing when I was seven and you know, from there, I really realized how much I enjoyed competing.

It was super scary to me, but it was also like this mental. It was like a mental challenge to overcome the nerves that I was feeling, I guess. And do before contest, I would I would have to go behind the ramps and I would like cry, because I was so nervous.

And wasn't because I didn't want to be there was just because I like cared so damn much and yeah, from that point on, dude, it was just like kept moving up in the ranks in the California amateur skateboarding league and then one the one factory.

This like factory division, which was like the sponsor division when I was 12 and then that got me invited to ex games in the slam city jam and the Vans triple crown and I think there was one like gravity games.

And that year of 13, man, I won every single pro contest and I only won man because I was having fun. There was no expectations. There was nothing on my mind except for I was just a stoked little kid that got the opportunity to go skate with the best dudes that I looked up to.

And it just worked out, you know, just worked out. I couldn't fall. It's weird. You're saying you want every pro contest when you were 13. Yeah, every pro contest that there was the 13th year of my life, which was 2003. That's the only one.

I didn't get invited to because I Tampa Tampa was weird about you had to be pro to be in the Tampa Pro. And so I skated Tampa am earlier that year because it's like the first contest of the year and didn't do very well and then ended up winning all the pro contest.

I think I was so excited about doing this with you because I mean for a million reasons obviously, but what a huge part of my history you played by being on the cover of the issue of Big Brother magazine, which just fired off all this controversy.

And for anybody who doesn't know what Big Brother magazine is, this was a skateboarding magazine, which was for no purpose other than to just be filthy inappropriate, like just bad, you know, like they just get all this bad shit.
