Ryan Sheckler poses for a few pics as he gears up to celebrate his 21st birthday at the Moon Nightclub inside The Palms Resort & Casino in Las Vegas on Thursday night (December 30).

The professional athlete will also be having another party on New Year’s Eve TONIGHT! “Getting real close to celebration time for my 21st birthday @fluxxsd on New Year’s Eve. Don’t miss it – FLUXX is San Diego’s best nightclub!” Ryan announced on his Twitter.

In a recent interview with Axtion mag, Ryan revealed how he really got started boarding.

“I was obsessed with my dad’s board by the time I could point,” Ryan shared. “He finally let me play with it by the time I was 18 months old. I don’t know…at 20 months to 2 years I would push it around with one foot…nothing serious. But that was the only thing I wanted to do. By 3, I was pretty much just going for it.”
