Whats With Ryan 13?

I know he got a job at a tattoo parlor, but he hasn't updated his site in forever?

Anyone know whats going on with this dude?

Hopefully the SPDST premiere will bring him out of hiding.

Edit: For the noobs who have no idea who Ryan 13 is check his site http://www.ryan13.com

he told me that he will probably stop to ''stunt''.....
or for a little moment


but it was a while ago....

nah ryan's just sorting his life out, hes been having his ups and downs in life over the last few years and hes just trying to keep it going right, and I think spdst2 will bring him out, maybe to film for the dan-g vs ryan13 dvd

Would be so bad ass, Dan has evolved so much since the idea was concieved. So I can bet Ryan would pull some crazy shit to keep up.

he told me afew ideas afew months ago because I pointed out dan has raised the bar 10x higher than it was when they had the idea. so ryan let me know afew things and I now feel they are could still be even if he gos ahead with it.

Yeah I'm sure if he wanted Ryen could definatly "bring da pain" as the negros say.

get out the man's business...he said he wasn't gonna be around that much, just leave it at that.

I never saw this thread?

msn..?


no....?


im a cunt ...?

I didnt realize this post exsisted until now, so hence the lack of reply.

Ill throw it all out on the table. The homegrown community has made me some great friends
and that why I feel I should give a reason.

When I was filming for SPDST 2:Unstoppable, I had the best times and the worst times. I let
myself become a huge alcolic. It was something I never wanted to have to admit to but I got
to the point where I needed to drink just to wake up. If I didnt have a drink that day I had
the shakes and was hell to be around. I caused a lot of damage during that time with my family
and friends. Me and Benny on more than a few occasions drank 100oz of hard liquor in a matter
of a few hours. Pre drinking for the bar became "see how fast we can drink a case of beer".
I think nearing the end we were reaching a case in about 24 minutes. The crazy part of it all
was how sickly we had become. Together we both maybe weighed 280 lbs.

The place I was living at was a friends house. They let me stay there because I had no place
else and I full out abused their generosity. Not that I wanted to. Usually Im a very empathetic
person so causing pain for others reflects directly on myself. I end up feeling it. I was too out
of control and it was because I found so much salvation in the bottle.

This constant drinking went on for months. I stopped eating for periods of time just to get fucked up.
This just got worse and in the middle of december 2004/jan 2005 I started abusing whatever I could.
I was constantly getting hurt so I was constantly requiring medical care. Some stunt related, others just
drunken accidents. Everytime they gave me pain meds. Ive always had a strong tolerance for
pills so my dosages turned from 2 every 4 hours to sometimes a whole bottle (30) in a 4 hour span.
Another thing I didnt want to happen. One thing I can proudly say is I never got pills outside of medical
reasons. I never faked an injury or anything. I just needed to stop the pain.

I remember one night where I had already drank a few beers, a bottle of whiskey and a few more beers.
It was right after I had goten frost bite on my ears that was so bad they were scared they were going to
have to remove my entire ear on both sides. I went home and drank more and then polised off
an entire prescription and a handful of other pain meds just so I didnt hae to feel.

In feburay I got a girlfriend and quickly movedinto her place because I had been kicked out
of my previous home. Everything was going fine until I would drink. I would get so drunk so
fast I would black out and in the end would get violent. I never hit anyone because of it
but I had a rage so dangerous I would mainly take it out on myself. I always feared it getting out of hand
and me actually hurting someone.

So I quit drinking.

Without booze I started to fear life a lot more. Reality wasnt as nice. I still smoke weed, but it does
the opposite of booze.When Im high I like chilling out. When Im drunk I will do anything. I did shit that makes
the Motley Crue biography "Dirt" seem pretty fucking clean.

It was and still is hard to stay away from booze. Ill have a few drinks but thats my limit. I cant let myself get the way I did,
because if I do, I will wind up dead. There is no way around it.

The first thing about getting clean and off of something is to detach from things that would cause cravings. This meant bars
alot of old friends and so on. It wasnt easy but I had to do it. Its not that I no longer like the people and shit. I still consider them
more family than a lot of my real family. I just needed to detach.

SO I shyed away from the stunt world. For me the stunts were fueled by booze and anger.
the anger only came with the booze, and the booze always came with the anger.

Just before this christmas I got a call from my dad regarding his heart. Half of his heart had died and they told him that because of a
previous heart attack, his heart had began to die. They figured it was past the point of fixing it. So I had to come to terms with my dad possibly dying.
Somehow he lived through a 5 bypass surgery and everything went fine but it was definatly a hit. I just didnt want to be around people. I wanted to deal with
it my way. Me and him have always had a love hate relationship. The only thing Ive ever wanted to do is make him proud. SO that further enforced
me to start growing up.

Since then I have started an apprenticeship to become a tattoo artist, started a clothing company as well as a longboard company.

I realized I couldnt just sit around anymore. To date stunts havent paid the bills. Im getting
alot older now and I hear about so and so starting a career and such. Its just time I settle down.

But by no means count me out. I have shit planned but Im being strategic with everything. SPDST2
just came out and its my first real introduction so I want to see how people react. At the premiere afterparty, me and Dan discussed an idea
of melding a load of out likes into a different kind of dvd. There will be a load of sick stunts. Trust me on that.
Im also hoping to get a hold of alot of my cut scenes from the dvd and put that together with old clips and film some new stuff.

Im sorry if I have let anyone down. Ive just needed time

*The website will be up very soon with news and possibly a few videos. My clothing company site is just waiting to be uploaded to
the server then it shall be up so there will be updates.

I bet al feels like a dick now.

he shouldnt feel like a dick at all. the post wasnt about it. I just thought better time that not to explain why I havent been around or producing. I have always felt I owe an explanation

I'm behind you dude

thanks bro, Im gonna email you soon. I have a solid idea with very little loop holes and possibilities of lots of torture. Its aboot the idea from the apollo. My boss might be pickin up a 3ccd, plus has trailer or two for remote filming

We love you Ryan! Stay strong!

^Yeah definitely. Alchoholism isn't stuff to play with, stay strong dude

Shit man, I'm glad your turning your life around.

REMEMBER : Turn your life over to a higher power.

You should get liquored up one more time, for ol' times sakes.

Good luck Ryan! hope things go well for you and when you're ready to annhialate yourself for a dvd then start, cause I know it would only feel worth it and end up successful if you put 100 percent in it, which I dont doubt you'll do. Keep fighting the addictions and whatnot, as much as this scene is about destroying yourself, its also about entertainment and living life, and you can only do that if you paradoxically keep yourself strong for others and for your own benefit.
SWYD!

Thank you everyone for the support. No doubt it's been an adjustment but its been a good change. Now with that said I also dont take back the memories or anything of that time becuase at that point in my life I needed that. I needed to blow off steam and come close to death to actually cause the change which so far is extremly good. One thing I never intended by writing the post I did was to make people feel sorry for me. If anything it has more or less been to show everyone that shit goes wrong and to learn from it. Theres absolutly no problem with alcohol...in moderation.

Now with all that said, thanks for the support and dont try this at home.

STTTAAAAAANNNNNNNN STTTAAANNN

Thought Id throw some links out

EL13 Clothing <--Clothing company I run, accepts paypal and shit

Oceanic Tattoos <---The tattoo shop I work for

With the clothing company, we are starting a team up. All you have to do is send some footage in and in turn you get free clothing for the year you are sponsored. Once you are sponsored, all we need are random clips, preferably done while wearing the clothing. Raw footage would be best by far as everything will go into a video end of year.

Also aside from the free clothing and video release, you also get a signature shirt created for you. The shirt goes in the online shop as well as the storefront and each shirt sold will earn you a % of the profits. Also if you want to buy bulk loads of your sig shirt, there would be a deal for that.

Unfortunatly there isnt lots of extra cash floating around so essentially it would be a cross promotion sponsorship.

With all that said I also plan on being as fair as I possibly can with the team. I know the first key to everything is keeping everyone happy and I want to do that. Basically if I can afford to throw money out, I will.
Also with the screen printing I do I can print almost anything.

So we need skate/bmx/stunt footage, anything ya got. Doesnt matter how rank it is, I will air it. I dont want to hold anything back whatsoever.

So check er out EL13 Clothing

And dont worry guys, Im not gonna get all 'moody' and fuck people over then be a pussy and hide out in my basement pretending to be my sister and shit. I want to help the homegrown community as much as I can.

Ill be working on a more official draft of everything and send out forms to everyone who wants part.

If you want to send in footage and be part of the team, send tapes to

EL13 Clothing
112 E Frederica St
Thunder Bay, Ontario
P7E 3V5
CANADA

So far on the team we gots:
Ryan13 (Of Course)
Dan-G (unit)
