Life of Ryan is a reality[1] show following the life of pro skateboarder Ryan Sheckler. The title of the show is a play on Monty Python's Life of Brian and the phrase "Life of Riley". Each episode is 30 minutes long and follows Ryan, his family, and friends through the various twists and turns of life as a skater and a typical teenager. Most episodes are filmed in and around the Sheckler household in San Clemente, California.

The first season primarily deals with the divorce of Ryan's parents; Ryan's attempts to find a girlfriend; relationships with his brothers; and Ryan's attempt to win every stop on the Dew Action Sports Tour.
