I got 3 Ricky stories and I’ll tell them in order.
94’—First time at Love was move in day at college and there were 30-40 people there. Ricky kicked everyone out cause he didn’t want the spot blown up.
95’—A skate shop in New Hope, PA open called Adrenaline. Ricky was friends with the owner and held an open tryout for the team. My friends and I showed up 7 deep in two cars. Picked Ricky up. One group smoked him out. My group went to the spot and skated. 20 minutes later the Ricky group rolled up. Ricky didn’t have a board so he borrowed ours one at a time and ripped with all his standard tricks. No one made the team but Ricky was cool with us from then on.
96’—Ricky comes blazing through LOVE and ollies over a woman sitting on the top ledge of the three set, three set, three set. So basically he Ollied over a woman’s torso and head and just kept going going about 10-15 miles per hour up Ben Franklin parkway and off into the distance.
