Even Ricochet himself seemed taken aback by the experience, admitting that it exceeded his expectations.

“I knew it was going to be cool, it was going to be fun, it was going to be awesome, but I didn’t know it was going to be that cool, that fun, that awesome,” he said. “This is just the beginning. There’s going to be much more to come.”
