Ryan Sheckler Axe ad
Translate this page:

Skateboarding's poster boy starts selling deodorant.

If any more proof was needed as to the commerical value of Ryan Sheckler, this new advert should provide it. Axe (or Lynx to those who live in the UK) must have stumped up a lot of cash to claim Sheck's new signature move Double-Pits-to-Chesty - a phrase that will surely be up there with the likes of double-heelfip-to-fakie in years to come!

Check out HUCK#016 for our unique take on the skateboarding phenomenon / teenage hearthrob that is Ryan Sheckler, out August.

  • seriously WTF?! It's almost like he wants people to rip on him

  • I remember when Sheckler first came out. A little kid going faster and higher than the seasoned pros. Hugely impressive.

    Then, I don’t know what happened. Because he was good looking the mainstream media got a hold of him and turned him into a cast member from “The Hills”. He should have knows that the skate community would never stand for it .

    There was some discussion on the site a few weeks ago about Koston selling out to Nike, but with this shiat, Sheckler makes him look like the Gonz in comparison.

  • I feel really sorry for him in a way. He's gone so far down that road of commercial lameness that he's never going to be given credit for the amazing ability he has.

  • I've heard they're gonna release TERJE H-AXE-ONSEN and the Swiss tourist board are putting out LAXX-AXE, for the mountain wanderer in you...

    You have to be getting paid a lot to fight off the feelings of shame.

  • Well, i don't know. I think, that Ryan is very smart. I'm sorry, but if i got paid for just few shots and two words to say, damn! Why not. He is very god damn good skater and i respect him. No matter on all this commercial shit, mtv shows and other stuff.

  • Not saying Sheckler's destorying the planet, but just reminded me of this - http://tinyurl.com/kpjfh9. Yeah, that's right... The more you spray, the more ice shelf collapses you can surf! Xtreme Junkie - For the Global Warmer in you. Marketing morons!!!
