SOBER SEVEN WITH RYAN SMITH

He will be the first to tell you that having a mellow just isn’t in the cards for him. Well, it’s always been black or white with Ryan, so it’s no surprise that he’s kicked the bottle completely and is focusing 100% of his energy on skateboarding. While many skateboarders party harder than anyone else you know, just a select few have managed to aquire such an image surrounding substance abuse that Ryan Smith has. I caught up with him after ten months of clean and sober living, and let me tell you, not much else has changed. He’s still a fucking maniac, I mean, look at him. It’s the Red Rider BB gun that kid wanted so bad in A Christmas Story.
