It’s difficult writing something new about someone so celebrated, for good and bad, in skateboard media over the years. Ryan’s life is arguably a deviation from The Truman Show, and sponsored since age 7, he’s spent more of it in front of a camera than not. In a confusing world that strangely turns its back on him some years while eagerly anticipating his video part the next, Ryan hovers between a normal kid from San Clemente – who, like you and I, wants to hang and skate with our friends – and the media celebrity he’s grown into. I met Sheckler in the fall of 2010 on King of The Road where we held down the back panel during the whole trip and I got to know him pretty well. I got to see Ryan’s intensity – long van rides of him sleeping to a pit stop spot check and an unexplainable spike in energy resulting in some of the gnarliest tricks I’ve ever seen. He’ll see a 13-stair at the morning coffee spot and get so hyped he’ll start going for tricks and then after landing the tricks, laugh at what a dork he is for getting so hyped he forgot to eat first—which is why it’s so awesome traveling and skating with him; he’s always doing something awesome. That’s the reason we always tune back in. This past week I caught up with Ryan to talk about his life this year, the etnies Marana and his future plans: Let’s just get right to it. How is the Plan B video coming? It’s coming along very well; we are actually just about to leave for China this week. We’ve been filming a bunch and I’m gonna have a full part. Sometime next year it should be out. It’s gonna be amazing. It’s the whole team – Danny Way and everyone? The whole team. Any crazy demos, or big mega ramp stuff planned for those dudes? Nope, just a Plan B video filming trip. Street Colin and Street Danny are coming out. Street Danny goes hard. Street Danny goes hard in the paint. Danny Way is just a gnarly human being. Have you seen his documentary yet? It’s incredible. It’s sad too, dude, it’s just gnarly; you’ll tear up. It’s gnarly because you think you know he’s gone through so much stuff, but then you see the video and it’s only half the things he’s been through. It’s like, how did he even think of skateboarding with all that stuff going on? Does he intimidate you? I’ve heard he’s a very intimidating dude just in how gnarly he is. No. I respect his strength and his will power. He’s a complete beast. I love him to death. I think it’s interesting everything he has to say; he’s very animated and it’s awesome. He’s funny. What’s the story with the Mega Ramp? How did that all go down? That was just Danny telling me he knew 100% that I could do it. I knew I could do it. I just wanted to feel that drop in and have an understanding of what I’m watching when I see the mega ramp dudes go crazy. I just wanted to feel it. He was just like, “Go, you got it. Go right now.” So we went. You just went right then? Yeah then he dropped in and tried to do a rocket air backflip over the 75 foot jump not even warmed up. I just got so psyched, I dropped in and I ollied it and then I did a kickflip indy. So once you ollied it, were you like, “alright I got this”? Totally, yeah it was just fun at that point. I probably dropped in on that thing about 10 times. Never hit the QP though; got too scared for that. (Laughs) It’s got to be amazing to skate with all of those guys. Dude, they are so good. It makes me trip out, like – I don’t know – I got to get on my grind and learn new tricks. Dude, Felipe does shit that does not make sense. Speaking of tours, where have you been recently that you’ve liked? Um, man, I’ve been so all over the place this year. What was sick this year? Germany, Vienna and Amsterdam were super fun with the etnies crew. Have you noticed on trips that you don’t have to pack as many shoes with the Marana? Average Tour maybe 10 days? Yeah 10 day tour for sure. I wear them ‘til I can’t wear them anymore. Honestly the past few pairs have worn out on the sole before the toe area because they are built so durable. It’s gnarly. It’s rad, though – you can bring your chill shoe and your skate shoe and you’re good to go. How did the Marana come about? Was it a team shoe you skated a lot or did you have a lot of say in the design? No, the Marana, we built it from the ground up. So I had an idea to create a new shoe but Kubota and I – well everyone kind of talked about how we didn’t really want to call it the “Sheckler 7”, so I thought it’d be cool to name it after the street I lived on. Why did you want to make such a durable shoe, especially in a time when vulcanized, small, thin shoes are popular? I just got tired of heel bruises and having a pair of shoes I really liked but only being able to skate them for 4 or 5 sessions cause they would blow out. So I kind of just wanted to go towards that skatepark skater kid who’s just skating everyday and doesn’t have the time or means to be buying shoes all the time. I just wanted something super durable and something like the Marana that, once it breaks in, it’s one of the most comfy shoes to wear that lasts. I think that kids think Pros skate new stuff every time they go skate, and I was surprised to find out that most Pros don’t. Do you think having a half worn-in shoe or board helps you feel more comfortable to skate? I think that yeah, skating in broken in shoes is probably my favorite. That’s the good part about this shoe is that it lasts long enough for you to get to that point. You skate in it long enough it starts to mold to your foot so you can start learning faster, and then it will last after that so you can feel comfortable skating in it for a while after. Yeah I want to try a pair out. You gotta get a pair, man. That’s what’s crazy – they last fore-ev-er. Let’s talk about Sheckler Sessions. How’d that all come about? Through Red Bull having their own channel on YouTube. They wanted to know if I wanted to be a part of it and I said, “Yeah, sure. We’ll just film whatever I’m doing and give it to you.” It’s been working out nice. No scripts. I just explain where we are at and I just skate and do what we are doing. It’s pretty mellow. Is it a fun excuse for you to do cool shit you’ve always wanted to do? Yeah, it’s really fun. I try to get everyone involved – all my friends. I got to go skydiving… a bunch of cool stuff. Was Hawaii your first time skydiving? Yeah, first time. Scary? Uh, yeah (laughs) I’ve always thought the scariest part of the skydive would be when you’re hanging by your chute, just high enough to realize how high you really are but with nothing but the chute holding you up. Dude, totally – it was. We jumped tandem so I was strapped to a guy and while hanging there, the guy loosened up my straps so it’d be more comfortable and I thought I was falling out! I lost it, man; it was so scary. Now that you’ve done that, do you think you can pull off the skydive from space? Absolutely not. That’d be the end of my career. No, I’d skydive again but it’s scary. So on this past trip to Europe, you got to see Willow turn Pro... I love Willow, dude. That’s my dude. When I first met him I instantly knew he was my homie; he was a friend. He’s a warrior, man. He’s been through a lot and he kills it. How was it being there when he got surprised with his first pro board? Was it the first time you’d seen Willow speechless? Yeah it really was… cause his family was there and he loves his family so much, which is big for me. He got all amped up. It was really rad to see. Yeah that was a big moment in his life. And he’s such a rad guy. It was epic being there. Yeah, so gnar. Are you kidding me? It was so rad… well deserved. That nollie tre-flip he did on that double set in Berlin… It’s so gnarly. He does it so good. One: how do you commit to that? And two: nollie tre-flip just seems so not right (laughs). That’s also where you shot the switch flip photo for the ad. Was there any story behind that? That day was just another… dumb Ryan… I don’t know. First spot of the day. Before breakfast, dude, you didn’t even eat. I remember because fat boy was cranky and wanted food and coffee. And here you were, already jumping down this 13-stair. Oh my god, yeah. It was really cool. It was at a train station, the main cathedral in Cologne and the energy was really cool, a lot of people around so it wasn’t like I was skating and everyone was watching only me. There was so much going on; me skating just kind of fit in so I was hyped. Plus, it was at the cathedral, which looks epic. Yeah and I don’t really switch flip much; I haven’t quite figured it out on big shit, so to be able to get one down something big was awesome. It’s funny because you did another trick before and as I was setting up you were hyped and in passing you looked at me and said, “Are you ready? Don’t mess this up; I only want to do this once.” (Laughs) And it got so in my head like, “Do I always mess his photos up? Is it a bad angle?” Haha, yeah I don’t really even remember saying that; I was just caught up in the moment jumping down that big set. So when you started doing the switch flip I was just having a full anxiety attack. I ran over to the bridge and you threw one out, and luckily I had done a test shot with the lens on Auto Focus cause you landed the next one. I was going to take it later and just panicked and heard the shutter go off – you land it and I just had this sinking feeling that I blew it. I didn’t even look at the photo for the rest of the day; I kind of hid from everyone packing up thinking I blew it until I saw it that night. It’s crazy how it works out like that sometimes. Yeah sorry – I don’t even remember saying that at all… (Laughs) It’s funny cause without you saying that and me freaking out, I might have actually blown the photo... Haha, that’s tight. That’s awesome, dude. Well it turned out super rad. So this year is your 15th year at etnies; how’s that feel? It makes me feel old (laughs). It’s gnarly, dude – I’m 22, I’ve been on something my whole life. Oh it’s amazing; don’t get me wrong. It’s just trippy to think about it. That’s a long commitment, you know, from both sides. I’m just so psyched things have worked out. I’ve got the support I needed from the Brand; that’s like, on some family shit. So how did you end up on etnies 15 years ago? I got hooked up through Don Brown. He either saw me at a skate contest or something and he hit us up. I don’t know – I think I was 7 and he told me to go down to Costa Mesa to pick up some shoes. So Shane and I went down there and Don Brown cut Shane’s Airwalks off of his feet. It was gnarly. 15 at Oakley too, right? Yep. 15 at Oakley, which is awesome. I love their glasses. I don’t remember how that started either. I mean, Mark Scurto hooked it up and now Dylan Radloff hooks me up, but I don’t quite remember how it all started. Two solid brands to be backed by for 15 years... Yeah man, it’s amazing. It’s gnarly when you step back and start thinking about it. It’s like, whoa. The End. Words and photography by Samuel McGuire

The decision handed down by Senior Recreation Officer Bruce Flick bflick@goldcoast.qld.gov.au means the end of the road for a club which has operated for over 30 years catering for senior and junior motocross. The decision also stipulates that the club could be reopened for Junior riders supporting up to 250cc bikes. One might ask why not seniors up to 250cc as a compromise if noise is the only issue. However further constraints on any future operation of the club facilities are biased towards gold coast residents over both committee and general club members who live in other outer Brisbane and Sunshine Coast districts. The Gold Coast council is also supportive of the Gold Coast motorcycle club at Reedy Creek facility looking into town planning approval for the future use catering of the location for all bike classes.

Initial scans at a local hospital revealed only heavy bruising, but further tests yesterday in hospital along with the team’s doctors from Padova University have found two fractures to Nagl’s left hand, as well as a painful pulled ligament. With a number of weeks until the first Grand Prix, Nagl will be required to undergo intensive physiotherapy and rest, although with the specialist treatment he is receiving, it is expected for him to be healed before the opening World Championship race in Qatar on the 2nd of March. 25-year-old German star Nagl will return to his base in Belgium tomorrow for a plaster cast on the hand and further treatment. Max Nagl“Obviously I’m really disappointed that this has happened, but unfortunately it is part of racing. From my side it was a racing incident with nobody to blame. My hand is sore, and we were having a really good debut weekend with the Honda, so I can’t hide how disappointed I am, but we will work hard to get everything fixed for the first Grand Prix. The team has been great and we’ve got some really good people around us, so I am in a good position to have the right treatment to get things healed quickly.” Source: http://moto.mpora.com/news/confirmed-fractured-hand-for-max-nagl.html Mike LaRocco Jason Lawrence Ron Lechien Jeff Leisk Victor Leloup Transworld MX Industry Cup The 3rd annual Transworld MX Magazine Industry Cup took place on Friday 10/12/12 at the Lake Elsinore MX Park.

Did have one lovely ride back in early July, what a neat day this was! I’d heard about this small town called Brooklyn that has a large display of flags from all 50 states and several other nations. I thought it sounded like a perfect reason to ride, so off we went. Our group consisted of Steve and I, Garry, street-rodding-turned-biker-pal Dave R., and Howard and Jayka. We took off in the afternoon heading east along one of my favorite roads – it starts out as Broadway Ave. in Des Moines, becomes 8th St. SE in Altoona, then morphs into County Road F48 and finally old Highway 6. This is just a beautiful road – pretty and curvaceous between Des Moines and Grinnell, then a straight bit east from Grinnell to Highway 63, where we made a right turn into Brooklyn. Once in Brooklyn we stopped at a tiny convenience store that seemed to be the hub of Sunday activity in this town of just under 1,400 people. After a beverage I walked from the store up to the flag display, which was on the adjacent property. It includes 3×5 flags from every state, plus several special-interest (military service) flags and a 20 x 38-foot US flag at the center on an 80-foot pole, all installed along a pretty walkway next to the Brooklyn Historical Society Museum.
Gave me vertigo standing under the US flag, looking up… thought I was gonna fall over backwards!
Here are some of the state flags on display. This photo looks back toward the street.
Also thought this was neat, something I’d never seen before: the name of the street actually etched into the cement of the curb. Neat detail!
The international flags are displayed in smaller groups along the two main streets of town. You can barely glimpse a few of them on the left side of this streetscene.
Across from the convenience store stands this old Standard Oil station – looks to be about mid-1930′s to me. As I walked over to it to take a picture, a guy drove up in a ’50 Chevy. What a great photo opp! I flagged him down and asked him to pause for a picture – he told me he had just bought the car that day. I took a neat photo of his 50′s car in front of the 30′s gas station, then gave it a little ‘retro’ effect in my photo editing program to create a cool vintagey snapshot.
Here are a couple more pictures of the gas station – just because I know you love this stuff as much as I do!
Brooklyn also has several oldie-but-goodie buildings along its two main streets. This opera house…
All of this exploration only took us about an hour, so it seemed in no time we were back on the bikes and headed home along the same route we’d come in. Along the route I noticed two bridges named for Civil War generals James Wilson & James Weaver, and in looking them up I learned that old Highway 6 (which runs coast-to-coast, by the way) is also known as Grand Army of the Republic Highway. I’ve long been aware that the GAR is/was the veterans organization serving Civil War Veterans, but I didn’t realize that Highway 6 was named for it. There are several commemorative markers and named bridges along the route. Few things are better in my book – a perfect blue sky day for a ride along scenic Iowa roads, a stop in a pretty small town with a unique or interesting feature, and a little bit of history thrown in for good measure. More adventures coming soon!

The first part of the shoot started in Downtown LA, and ende Whether You Drive or Ride, Australia’s Countryside is Waiting For YouExtreme sports are among the highlights and tourists attractions in Australia. Different adventure activities challenge local and visitors to discover their limits. Tourism in the country has shifted services to accommodate the craving for adventure. Bayswater Car Rentals and other local service agencies have track directories of where to go and what to do while staying in adventure hotspots.
Motocross or motorcycle racing has a following worldwide and they head to Australia to find the best dirt roads. Dirt bike tracks are scattered around Australia and managed by locals who have passion for the sports. Clubs gather to enjoy freestyle and racing competitions.
Local and international competitions are held annually by prestigious organizations of motocross sports. Major sponsors and dirt bike riders all over the world fly to Australia for yearly competitions and non-competition gatherings. From races to ride exhibitions, patrons of the sports mingle with each other to exchange tips and techniques.
Popular motocross spots in the country are found in New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria, West Australia, and South Australia. There are the popular spots where dirty bike riders hit it off. There still are undiscovered spots where only a few have visited. With the landmass of around 7.7 sq. km. there are quite a number of secret spots where bikers call heaven.
Every location varies in type of riding experience. Free riding in sand dunes, MX practice tracks, motocross tracks, and even own properties are transformed into customized riding tracks.
Tourism in Australia acknowledges the subculture evolving around extreme sports such as motocross. It recognizes that the country is also known not just for the beaches and arts, but also the motocross racing. A good population of both locals and tourists nurture the subculture of the sports as it begins to be accepted as a mainstream sport worldwide.

http://www.foxhead.com/us/#/mtb/blog/id/27512 John Draper Doug Dubach Ryan Dungey Vic Eastwood Daryl Ecklund Ski Jumps
The best thing about riding a motocross track is the elevation change. This gives you more dimensions to the track and allows you to “spice up” some obstacles. One of these obstacles is the ski jumps. Most of the time, you find these jumps right before a downhill and there is no real lip or face. This sort of jump can be used to your advantage, if you do it correctly. The most important part of this type of jump is approach. You want to be in the attack position so you are ready for the upcoming drop. Depending on the situation, there could be a lot of braking bumps, and being in the attack position really helps you get through the bumps without the bike dancing underneath of you. Don’t forget to grip with the knees and look ahead. As you are about to make the drop, you want to be slightly leaning back. If you are leaning to far forward, your front end is going to drop because there is no lip to give you that “pop” and raise the front wheel. It also helps to be on the gas, if possible. If it’s not, stay in a higher gear so the engine braking doesn’t drag the front down. As you leave the ground and make the descent, you want to make sure your front tire is slightly higher than the rear. When landing down a hill, you don’t want to land front wheel first. This throws a lot of your weight and momentum to the front wheel and you have a greater chance of going over the bars. So, land rear wheel first and be on the gas. Most down hills are going to be rough; so, getting on the gas when you land gives you forward momentum through the rough stuff. It helps to jump a little further than everyone too. This isn’t normally the case with average jumps, but in this case, when you jump further, you keep your speed and momentum up. Plus, you have a chance to jump past the slower riders’ bumps. These jumps are usually low visibility, so make sure you know what the next obstacle is or you could end up like Doug Henry (i.e. broken back).
