MTV’s “Life of Ryan” show, which followed Ryan Sheckler, thrust the young skate prodigy into the spotlight suddenly.

Sheckler recently spoke on Jaxxon Podcast about what it was like to go from obscurity to fame and how he spent his money in the early days.

Sheckler explains that he bought a 3-story home that he describes as “chaos.”

And another big purchase from the “Life of Ryan” days? His Ferrari.

Sheckler says he learned a lot and “made a lot of mistakes” in the early days. Sheckler says that the whole persona and lifestyle was “feeding my ego.”

Regardless, Shecks put San Clemente, California, on the map more than Richard Nixon.
