Trivia

 * Like Simon, Ryker is also in junior high and in 8th grade.
 * In Seasons 1-3, Ryker starts out as a teenager. Yet, in Season 3’s last episode, Season 4’s first episode and the very beginning and very end of the movie, he is an adult, while in the rest of Season 4 and the movie, he is a teenager.
 * Like his brother, his favorite school subjects are English, history, P.E. (Which stands for physical education), and science.
 * He hates math (Especially algebra), just like his brother.
 * His little sister, Sally, often bugs him, along with Simon. For instance, if she does this to either him or Simon, either one will tell her to “Get out of our room,” attempt to physically abuse her, or bandage her head up with duct tape. However, his and Simon's parents, including Anya, Molly, and their families, helped him and Simon reconnect with Sally by "[Getting] to know the real [her]." and understand why she bugs the twins during their treasure hunt for Cherroka. And sure enough, when Ryker and Simon read her heartwarming poem about her loving her brothers dearly and that she constantly bugs them is because they never wanted to play with her lately during their underground trek upon getting separated from her and the others, they immediately accepted Sally as a good sister and after coming to her and their friends' rescue upon finding Cherroka, Ryker and Simon promised Sally that they'll treat her well and play with her more in the future, a promise kept true for the rest of the series afterwards.
 * He does not like being grounded or sent to detention, either.
