The Ryan Sheckler Foundation’s Skate for A Cause kicked of its first event at the Etnies Lake Forest Skatepark this past Saturday and it went off. Tons of spectators showed up, as well as Pro and Am skateboarders to show their support for Skate For A Cause. Independent trucks was involved to help support Ryan’s event and we had a ring toss booth set up to help raise money for the Foundation. There was a demo in the skate park and a jam style contest. Ryan was signing autographs, was dunked up in the dunk tank and skated his heart along with all the skateboarders. A good time for all!
