"Join us by raising funds and YOU will have the chance to win my Range Rover"
-Ryan Sheckler

Cancer has affected our family and so many of our loved ones. We want to help make a difference and raise funds to find a cure.

I have donated my 2003 Range Rover to Children’s Cancer Research Fund (CCRF) to encourage and motivate people to raise money for CCRF. From January 8th through April 10th, 2008 participants will have the chance to enter to win Ryan’s Ranger Rover by raising the most funds for this cause.

I will be presenting the Range Rover to the participant who raises the most money for CCRF at their annual 5k RUN/WALK on April 27th, 2008. The winner will also receive two round trip tickets to Los Angeles, accommodations and transportation to the event.

Prizes will also be awarded to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th place contestants.

Fundraising efforts can be made by creating a fundraising page which you can then email to friends or family. For those individuals with out regular access to a computer you can also download and print a form which can be mailed in. Deadline for all fundraising must be postmarked by April 10th, 2008.

Established in 1987, CCRF is dedicated to providing national support for clinical research in pediatric cancer, while improving the medical environment for all children. A healthier and happier tomorrow is the mission and promise of Children's Cancer Research Fund to children and their parents everywhere.

I know some people have some animosity towards Ryan Sheckler, but I think we can all agree, it's a great jesture on his part.

fair play to him

Wow thanks for the find Pathtek! You're always on the news.

As for this, I think this is really generous of him. I know we all call him crybaby and whatnot, but this is just...generous

I never thought he had it in him.

well this is a nice gesture...so props to ryan i suppose.

Then he went out and bought a 08!

^^^^hahah DUH!. yea at least it shows some character in him.

wow i wish i could become a pro skater. i'd get all my family in Colombia and bring them up to america so they can live a better life.

Think it was a PR move, or was it just strictly his idea (i doubt it)

mm thats pretty genrous for him but i still have no respect for him

why can't he just give the money? I be he has way more than they need. And why the hell would you want to buy the used one? To smell his fart on the seat?

my respect to sheckler: -100
Now: -99

Working your way up there
:D

well it couldn't be PR cause PR can't make those moves, if he does more like this maybe I will have more respect for him

I respect him anyways. He's a great skater, really, the only people who hate on him are the ones who are jealous because they can't skate like him or don't have money.


Loosen up guys, he's a good kid down inside.:\

Don't wanna turn this into a hate debate. Just saying, I used to like the kid, til I found out about him crying about losing a girlfriend on TV.

I am jealous though =/

Now I think he's a good kid also, unless I find out this is just a PR move.

props ryan props

wow maybe he decided to get his act together.

I respect him anyways. He's a great skater, really, the only people who hate on him are the ones who are jealous because they can't skate like him or don't have money.

I agree on the fact the he is a FANTASTIC skater with a lot of balls who was doing stuff huge for his age.

He's also a arrogant prick and I wouldn't respect him no matter how good he is. Why should his skating have anything to do with respect? If someones a **** then skating has nothing to do with it.

Arrogant prick or not he just donated a car to charity dude how does that make him an ***?. He is who he is some people like him some people don't. He's just living his life how does that make him a bad person? Seriously you guys are always insulting him doesn't that make you stoop down to his level?

Just saying, I used to like the kid, til I found out about him crying about losing a girlfriend on TV.




I guess you're not old enough to like girls yet, because if you SERIOUSLY like someone, when you lose them you cry about it, manly or not, it's true.

Pooldog,

How do you know he's an arrogant prick? Have you met him in real life? Have you hung out with him to KNOW he's a prick? Maybe you want to think that because... well... You want to think that.

I respect him because of his skating, because he's so damn good for his age. So I have to give him props.

I'm sure Ryan is a cool kid if you hung out with him. My friend who moved from Cali has his number, he doesn't seem to arrogant to me.

Okay, not trying to sound utterly rude or anything, but why would you suddenly just not like the kid because he cried about losing a girlfriend? WTF. Yeah, like YOU wouldn't cry about losing a girlfriend at one point.. unless you're a heartless bastard. There's this lame trend going around everywhere, where people are like "oh my god I hate Sheckler because he's a drama queen that cries about girls" it's dumb. That's a lame reason.

PS. His car donation makes me happy to know he cares and agrees to the donation of his personal belonging.

Okay guys, this isn't going to be a hate thread, keep in on topic.

Just saying, I used to like the kid, til I found out about him crying about losing a girlfriend on TV
You've never been involved with a girl, have you?

You've never been involved with a girl, have you?
Yes I have, for 1 year long in fact.
Who cries on TV???? I don't wanna tune into whatever channel and see this 15 year old kid cry his eyes out

Yes I have, for 1 year long in fact.
Who cries on TV???? I don't wanna tune into whatever channel and see this 15 year old kid cry his eyes out

Then turn it off!

Seriously, I don't want to come onto this forum and see a 14 year old kid cry over Ryan Sheckler.

Yes I have, for 1 year long in fact.
Who cries on TV???? I don't wanna tune into whatever channel and see this 15 year old kid cry his eyes out
Oh, so because he's being filmed, he should automatically stop showing any emotion like a robot?

You know i stil <3 you swordy, but your reasoning for not liking sheckler is absurd.

Hahaha I still like all of you, respect your opinions and stuff.

Make no mistake, Sheckler is kind, very kind indeed, from what I saw here. He's an awesome skater, I love his style. I just don't want him to whine about it. He's been whining about his girlfriend for what, 3 months now? Time to move on...

He's been whining about his girlfriend for what, 3 months now? Time to move on...

He has moved on. Just like we should.


Quit arguing, and get back to the topic.

That's a noble thing for him to do. I could only wish to be rich enough to have a decked out Range Rover to donate. I only hope that they raise more in donations from people trying to win it then they could by just selling it!

Also, I am surprised no one has mentioned or assumed, the "S" on the grill stands for Strut, a company that makes grills and bumpers and such for luxury vehicles, NOT "S" for Sheckler.

I think a lot of people get public image mixed up with their intentions. George Bush, horrible president, but im sure he's a really nice guy. Same with sheckler, I'm sure if you just sat down and talked to him for a bit you'd start liking him.

and more than anything else on this forum I see people picking on teachers. Really, their nice people, they may be bad at teaching or they may not. But why would they spend 4 years in college just so they can pick on some kids? I haven't met a teacher ever that isn't a nice person. Just show some respect to them.

I think this was a PR move, but I still think that he's a nice guy

EVERYONE cries over a girl, I have, except when I do it, I cry butters.

I think that his complaints about unfair judging make him an arse, but at least he's doing something worthwhile. I can't complain about that.

I hate Sheckler, but this was a very nice thing of him to do. +1 to Sheckler.

I think my respect for Sheckler went from -100 to 0 :)

but thats like saying mike V could be a giant jerk towards alot of people ,
you can some times judge someone by how they treet there friends
and fanns
people think mike V is a realy nice guy because he is to his fans and most probably friends
this is just my oppinion
dont hate on me for it .

Don't wanna turn this into a hate debate. Just saying, I used to like the kid, til I found out about him crying about losing a girlfriend on TV.

Now I think he's a good kid also, unless I find out this is just a PR move.
when I lost my girlfriend Ive been crying. not for long time and not public
but Ive been crying.

youll understand that feeling when youll be older.

Sheckler is one of the best skaters out there, I fully respect him for beeing a great skater and being a sick skater (:

Think it was a PR move, or was it just strictly his idea (i doubt it)

Yeah, thats what I was thinking. Alot of people do that, but then again, maybe it was his idea. I've never really liked him, but if it was his idea then maybe, I dunno, hes changing or whatever.

I do it.....for....the children.

Lol, sheckler spelled his name wrong.

Now only if he could donate his ego to world hunger.

I just don't like him because he's a douche.

i dont want his range rover, just help for cancer!!! s4c

I disagree. My 9th grade english teacher was an absolute ***** in AND out of the classroom. I've talked to her outside of school, and she is just an all around unpleasant person. She is a lot worse inside school though. No exaggeration or anything, she TRIES to fail people, and she tries to get kids in as much trouble as possible. Examples of what she did to me like this are when i did one question wrong on a worksheet, so she just gave me a 0 for the entire paper and wouldn't let me fix it. She did that a few times, to everyone. And one time she sent me to the office because i was literally 2 seconds late from lunch. I was about 3 steps from the door and she came out screaming at me, and sent me to the office.

There is a math teacher at my school that is also like that, but thank God i never had her.

yeah bro there are some ****ing 2 teachers in my school like yours, i hate those *****!!!

i respect him as well but you didnt have a fit for getting second place in one competition in the dew tour.....

^So what?

Ryan likes to win. He sets very high standards for himself, and when he doesn't reach those, he gets upset. Most people will think he overreacted about it, but winning that contest was obviously REALLY important to him, and he didn't get it.

I mean props to him an all that but tbh he's still a douche!

why can't he just give the money?

so he can get other people to do it for him while he buys a new car

Who cares if it was just a PR move or not? It was still a classy move on his part and I have some respect for him. Not alot of kids have to deal with the pressure he has on him. Maybe you think it would be easy to do that, well I have news for you it's not. And yeah how many other skaters do you see donating to charity? At least he's doing something to get rid of the ******* skater image.

I know a guy who knows a guy who punched him in the face at a demo. Then got tackled by bouncers.

The guys got money coming out his ***. He probably needs more room to park his new range rover, so he got rid of the old one.

he cant pay the money because he wants the attention of doing a fund raiser
but oh well
atleast hes doing it for a good cause
not like we can do that kind of stuff

That's pretty nice I guess but he's probably just going to buy an 08 or 09 one now...

heh.....noob question....but does PR stand for public relations? if so i agree, ryan i think is probably trying to improve his image by donating to one the biggest and most tear-jerking charities. now, underneath that he is probably also becoming less of a jerk as well, cuz it probably took some sense of good will to just donate his car. so i think he is trying to show he is a better person, by doing it in one of the most cliche and obvious ways.

Good job Ryan, cancer even kills people who don't like him.

There are those that have and those that don't

The ones that don't are jealous of those who have.

But when they have they don't give a Sh#t

He's a great Skater with sick skill so why not make money out of it.

Anyone who say they would not is full of sh#t or Mum pays for everything.

Ryan Rocks and now helps out Cancer which knows no class.

See ya

OZ

:icon_peac

If he is such an *** like most people think then why would he even think about skating. Jerks dont just donate to Charities without having some just a tiny wiiiini heart no matter if it was a PR move or not.

I respect him anyways. He's a great skater, really, the only people who hate on him are the ones who are jealous because they can't skate like him or don't have money.


Loosen up guys, he's a good kid down inside.:\

Got to agree with you for the first part. But I don't think he's a good kid inside, he's spoiled, and disrespectful just to begin with.

Just IMO, I think he's doing this for more attention, so he could be more liked. And he's stinkin rich...

ok, who the hell donates an SUV to charity? lets see some cash homie this little ***** can afford it i think ill go downtown and donate the rims off my acura and and a leather jacket????

You can donate whatever the hell you want. What kind of world do we live where you are criticized for donating something. Go donate your POS Acura, nobody's stopping you. And god forbid, someone actually shoot you if you did.

Brilliant first post mate.

He did it just to get more attention I guess, its a good move but only to make him look better thats the only cause of the donation..you know he got a tv show now

So everone with a TV show who does anything for chartiy must only do it for attention right? I forgot what was that old reason that people used to donate for charity? Ohh wait was it. Oh yeah that's right kindness. Don't be so quick to judge there buddy.

ok then

He's hawt.

I'm glad he did that , but I don't give a **** about him still. I don't hate him ...just kidding. Not that much at least.

he probably hated the car and needed a tax deduction. :)
