Premium Ricta wheels delivering specialized urethane formulas for every terrain type from parks to street.
Operating under the NHS umbrella alongside brands like Santa Cruz and Independent, Ricta has established its reputation through specialized urethane formulas calibrated for different skating approaches. Their iconic Clouds series revolutionized street skating with a softer compound that tames Richmond's notoriously rough spots – from weathered brick downtown to cracked asphalt pathways between spots – without sacrificing the technical performance that serious skating demands. For smoother terrain like the concrete at Brown's Island, their Naturals and Chromes deliver controlled slide characteristics and predictable grip essential for technical ledge work. Ricta's NRG formula provides that perfect balance between softness for rough terrain and durability for daily use, maintaining its performance characteristics even as the wheels wear down through regular sessions. The Speedrings built into every wheel create frictionless bearing seating that maximizes your roll speed when pushing through Richmond's sprawling spots, while precision core placement ensures wobble-free performance even at high speeds. Unlike some wheel brands that offer limited options, Ricta's comprehensive size range from technical 50mm options perfect for flip tricks at Manchester DIY to larger diameters ideal for flowing through Texas Beach transitions ensures the perfect setup for any terrain or riding style. Each wheel undergoes meticulous quality control, with durometer consistency and dimensional precision that eliminates the variability that plagues lesser manufacturers. When your local terrain ranges from butter-smooth concrete to post-industrial roughness, Ricta's specialized formulas deliver targeted performance for every surface and skating approach.
