Somerville, Massachusetts
Despite his last name--which is one "t" removed from rickets, a disease of childhood characterized by softening of the bones as a result of inadequate intake of vitamin D and insufficient exposure to sunlight--Schuyler Ricketts is a promising young skateboarder with strong bones who, as this sponsor me clip proves, spends his fair share of time shredding entire fields of wheat right out in the glare of the sun.
Besides boasting the most sightly of sprightly styles, Schuyler also skates fast--yay verily, he performs his shred sled stunts at quite an impressive speed--brings down some big ones, and even proves that he's not afraid to take the occasional header or skate through a giant warehouse that is currently under construction.
My only complaint might be that he sometimes picks up quite a bit of change at the bottom of his jumps. But, what do I know? Maybe he has to supplement his income to purchase all those bulk bottles of vitamin D. Just kiddin', kids. Thanks for submitting your DVD, Schuyler. You just earned yourself a free pair of Emerica shoes!–Post King

first bitch nah thats gay.this kid is sick!!!!!!!!
sick shit!
kid fuckin rips...should be flow
Finally a sponsor me that kid is good
kids sick. his back 360's are nice even if he does pick up some change
cool
get this guy some flow, he rips
this guy is on the cataclysmic abyss video in the friends section...sick
I was going to say that meanie.
he should be on flow most def
damn skyler thats hella sick to see you on the emerica page! congrats man! keep shredding!
yo, schuyler's my boy...he rips so hard. a handful of those tricks i was there for, very impressive!!
fuck!!? i think he cleared like 6 sidewalk squares on that kickflip! he cleared the window fo sho!! Damn, boardslide 50 stairs?? fuck yeah. this kid is down.
i didnt know that a nollie back-heel to 5-0 on a ledge could give hammer vibes...crazy
i skated with this guy in sacramento, he suprised me as much now as he did then. this is how i imagine skateboarding to be, um, im going skating to 7/11 now...
f/s 180s to fakie nosegrinds or 5-0's or what??!!? he's channeling some crazy energy in this silent party.
Down right amazing!!
from the words of morons..."sometimes he pick up quite a bit of change on his jumps" what the hell. who wrote that? haha. anyways, isnt that a snowboarding term. this kid is legit. fuck that. i'm sure that Greco and geoff rowley pick up too much change as well... if anything it says more to land on a trick offbalanced and still ride it out, than to land perfect everytime like a damn robot or something. what you see as picking up change, i see as good improvisation. go ride your snowboard, but dont pick up any sticks now after your jump o.k!
not much to say, but this guy is fuckin ill!! Something about him..
he skates FAST as FUCK though, huh!?!?
in the second line, he lands his heelflip on the nose, so he's like fuck it and just pops one nollie too, then he land the back 360 so rad!! i love that shit. This dude keeps it pure. feelin the bandana
Pro
i just noticed that his ender is a gap to willy grind! haha. fuck yeah! crazy
This guy's so smooth...like butter baby!
Dizzamn, he deserves to be spnsored. FUCK. He is smooth, all the way.
this guy deserves the spotlight!^%#!$#! fuc* sposner me tapes!!!!!
this guy eats pro's for breakfast!!!!
skateboardingDictionary, if you're going to do laybacks and berts after your tricks, it better be on purpose. Schuyler didn't "improvise" putting his hands on the ground, he lost his balance. Why are you so angry that I called that out? I guess you didn't want to pay attention to all the praise I heaped upon him throughout the rest of the review. Yeah, improvisation my ass.
yeah, skateboardDictionary was quite harsh for a while there.. haha. but i do appreciate the occaisional change grabbing on peoples "jumps". i mean, that shit happens and you have to do whatever to stay on and all. right? besides, schuyler could've done it again "cleaner" just as easily if he wasn't happy with it. this tape is amazing
who's to say that laybacks and surfs need to be on purpose anyways? in my opinion, it feels more natural to see someone land off balace and do what they must to ride away, as opposed to seeing someone posing a layback or bert intentionally... to me that just feels like a gimmick when its on purpose. when schuyler does it, it just feels like skateboarding. Post King likes the berts on his jumps to be on puropse. thats great. after all, it is just skateboarding, right? since when did we have ground rules.. just skate and film, and show me what happens to happen; accident or intention. No one's to say if "better be on puropose" or not.
by the way, Post King...what kind of person hypes someone up like that, just to take a cheap shot in the end of the article?! Right when i first read that i thought it was weak.
Also when i read that line about how things better be in skating. sounds like something my stepdad would say. But fuck it, hype is hype right? who cares about the free shoes. :-)
hey kids. go out tomorrow skate hard and fast. skate with your friends and by yourself. in the sun and in the rain. everyday. every minute. and never sit in web pages philosophize about skating in the comment box like i do. im just a dumbass
Basically Post King, your a fagget so shut up.
he should huck one of thoes sweet fs flips down some stairs daammmm!!!! this kid is so ballin' fast ......hes pro
fuck yeah. this kid is sick as fuck!! i saw this one film that he made with his friends.. its called Go To Sleep. and holy fuck; everything he does is so sick. he had tons of amazing bonus footage also in it. none of the tricks in this sponsor me tape were in G.T.S... so he must be filming like crazy. my brother talked to him in Modesto last week.. i hear he is filming for a video that corey duffel is putting together this summer!!! i cant wait!! this tape is too good. makes me wanna skate.
WOW!! i never comment on these tapes.. but damn! this kid is fantastic!! Skate on Ricketts!! mad props... i cant believe you aren't am yet. or at least flowed by some big names.. good luck!
that pop shuv over the 14 is too good, and thats the best boardslide i've ever seen
Boston Select, it's funny how you called me a faggot, but you added me as a friend in Tool Shed. Thanks for the name-calling. Please die right now.
YEAH dude that is what i am wanting to see from this company, a skater with smooth like xlax style yet with daring mind sets to do what no other would in their right mind
FUCK YEAH!! GOOD TO SEE NEW FIRE. SKATE ON SKYY
LOVE THE FRONT 180 FAKIE NOSEGRIND. HOPE TO SEE MORE OF YOUR FOOTY IN THE FUTURE
that fakie flip had a pinch of arto in the mix. great stuff. this guy really ripps!! FAST AS HELL. He should be getting flow from emerica by now, does anybody know if he's flow or am for any other company's yet?

martin, faustini, and chuy te le ver!!
silly goose. hook em up. he skates fast. chris senn? na....better.
WHAT A FUCKING RELIEF!!! thank god a skater like this kid is around. fuck booring steezy skating. if hes skated long enough to get this good without any coverage you know hes doin it for the right reasons.
what a faggot. who filmed that? micheal j fox? do you think your great just because you can throw yourself down big shit? that dont make you great. get creative and skate some real spots you litle pussy ass bitch. next time your at the ceres park im gonna beat you up. cant even land a kickflip down a double set...didnt you get enough practice from the double set at ceres...oh thats right you couldnt hack it in ceres so you move to the other side of the states so you can brainwash some 13 year olds on how great you are by telling them about scientology. what a faggot...gotta straiten that hair too...? yeah you wouldnt want anyone seeing that jigga ass afro and your girly ass pants that you think is creative to sew that to make them tight cause you cant support the skate culture by buying some krew jeans. all these fucking punks on here claiming how great you are....fuck that its just scientology thats brainwashing you guys...dont fall into his hype. hes played out. wack ass buster. i hope your knee blows out. SUCK A DICK SKYLAR DICKITS!!
smyrna park nortes for life bitches!!!
you gotta love not landing straight. just like you ...not straight. so im guessing tony hawk pro skater got snowboarder mode from this kid? just land anyway you want slide your hand and tic tac out and as long as you throw in some forced style at the end you say you "landed it". bullshit. quit being gay and land straight.
oh i heard that you have AIDs? thats cool. do you use that as a pity affect to get on teams?
ummmmmm, this is schuyler himself and im not a scientologist, john travolta is. and um yeah i mess up on kf all the time im not a robot and yeah i sew my pants because i dont have a job and i steal them from kohls and sew them to fit and im sorry that you are mad that at me but i did nothing to you. So dont waste your time your words are reflections of your true negative self.
hey this is the real schuyler(scooter) not that other phoney baloney. dickdickweener's my bud. that other jokers trippin cause i smashed his windows. :-(

Holy Shit.
