Of all of Ryan’s friends, Tony Panici stands out the most. He’s outspoken and always wants to be the center of attention. Tony has a flair for the dramatic and he and Ryan are very competitive. Like his friends, Tony grew up in San Clemente, Calif., and plans to stay in Southern California for the foreseeable future. He spends his free time skateboarding, and he is also a gifted basketball player.

Like Ryan, Tony is a fantastic skateboarder and takes the sport seriously. He’s even sponsored by Oakley and Etnies. When it comes to skating and girls, Tony and Ryan are extremely competitive. Because of this, the two buddies once had a falling out over Tony talking trash about Ryan. But they eventually moved past the incident and made up. Tony’s competitive nature actually makes him the perfect wingman for Ryan and has won him the label of “the flirt” of the group.
