Why don't ripndip get more shit for being scumbags?

lol, this was posted by that dork that got Feedback Ted fired. 

RipnDip sucks and needs to be exposed/destroyed but I have a feeling this guy is more concerned with his own social capital than keeping anyone safe

Those of you saying you’ve never heard of Rip n Dip pridefully are corny.  You’re on a pretty prestigious skate forum so educate yourself on the industry a bit.  They have multiple page ads in skate magazines and coverage all across skate media.  I like rip grip and all the nerdy gimmicks from skateboardings glory days too but I wish we could all keep up at least a little bit.  Sorry for being a jerk here but I feel that it needed to be said.

Rip grip was dope i liked putting it next to my Ugly Stix to help with early grab crooked cops. 
Don't be bummed that people don't know/care about some mall brand.

its purely a mall brand and they have nothing of value. So if you didn’t know about ripndip before this then why would you? I’m jealous of y’all that haven’t heard about this shit company.

Came here to post that IG link. O'con is a piece of shit. He hit my friend he was dating at the time when we were in high school and I've heard multiple repeated situations. Steals art, fucks over friends, skates cars and gets other skaters beat up for it, hits women, this dude deserved to get shitcanned a fucking decade ago. Fuck him

i swear to god there was a thread here on slap back when i registered about ripndip being abusive assholes and potentially even rape allegations (maybe via johan?)

[C.J. Gap]

Have a good weekend everybody but it’s still f ripndip out here. “Alleged allegations” jfc. Purchasing an 8 million dollar Malibu house thanks to ripped off artwork.

[yougotcherjager]

This is not breaking news. Most people have heard about what Ryan O'Connor did... It seems like if you have money these days you can just get away with it/ not even address the allegations.....just like Nyjah Huston did.

there was (is?) a friend and i were talking about it yesterday and how this is just now really coming to light, even though it’s been a topic of discussion for like what, 3/4 years at most. even the shit with the braille dudes. insane how long/much it’s taken for people to actually listen and acknowledge what’s been going on

Allow me to reiterate a story from Nollie Flip which you can give or take the scenarios.


Quote from: fakie nollie on July 21, 2020, 08:52:34 AM

    This is a long story about how I felt like a complete skate-jock and why the brands we generally despise both exist and thrive.

    When I first met my S/O years ago, I was skating a lot more and she thought it was cool. At 31, she had never stepped foot on a skateboard in her life. I decided I’d show her the basics at my local skatepark.

    We show up and the park is empty. Me, being the horrible teacher that I am, assumed her saying “I’ve never stepped on skateboard” meant she could roll around on flat ground- I was wrong. I leave her to hold a fence to practice balancing. An hour goes by and I'm dusted from skating ledges the entire time. She’s a good sport but was yearning to learn more.

    A few days later, I have to travel for work for about two weeks. This was before we lived together and she asked if she could borrow my skateboard to practice. I oblige, leave it at her apartment on the way to the airport and think nothing of it.

    Two weeks pass and I arrive home, jet lagged but itching to release some stress by skating around my local. I pick her up, my spare skateboard in trunk and the one she's borrowing in her hand and we go to our local. I’m not paying attention and start warming my legs up with a few runs around the park.

    After about 5 minutes, I realize I didn’t leave her on the fence and frantically search to see if she’s fallen. To my total surprise, she is rolling around, going up and down the banks and pushing (not mongo). Albeit it looks sloppy, this is someone who, 2 weeks prior, couldn’t even stand on a board. I’m blown away and impressed, with a hint of admiration as I remember being a chubby 8 year old taking weeks to learn how to stand and roll.

    We leave the park and I’m singing her praises, giving verbal accolades about her progress. I innocently ask, “How did you learn so fast?”. Prior to receiving her answer that would turn my morals upside-down, I assumed she was either naturally talented or started banging a dude at the park in exchange for lessons. How wrong I was on all accounts.

    Smiling from ear-to-ear, she pulls her phone out and opens the YouTube app. I’m sitting in the parking lot with her, sweat dried on my brow, patiently waiting to see what miraculous video she pulls up that showed her the basics of skateboarding. Was it from Tony Hawk or Eric Koston's trick tips? Possibly a lesser known e-learning channel from a dope company?

    No. She pulls up Braille's youtube channel and starts scrolling through all the videos she was looking at- each one with a small red-line below the thumbnail, indicating she's ingested this content like a fiend demolishing a bag of dope. I can't wrap my head around this and am smiling on the outside but screaming on the inside:

    "Why is this happening to me? How did I get here? Who is poisoning the well with this content being so easily accessible to the naive skateboarder in the early stages of their journey to Gnardom?"

    After about 30 seconds of her scrolling through, my inner skate-jock erupts and I exclaim, "Those videos are so wack. You need to stop looking at them." A flood of emotion and memories took over- blips of flashbacks to conversations between friends, casually talking shit on anything that Thrasher or Transworld's website didn't display in the last decade. Aaron Kyro's bird-like nose poking into frame.

    She's immediately crushed, followed by a wave of being upset with me for judging her - and rightfully so. I believe the first thing she said was, "Oh, I didn't realize you were the mayor of Cool's Ville and Braille is jean overalls". That immediately put me in check. Who was I to dictate what is or isn't cool? What gave me the impression that I was aware, at all, of what should be considered 'hip' or 'lame'? How did I get to the point from my humble beginnings in skateboarding, where I was the little kid being bullied by the older crew for my Wet Willy deck to being the kook who judged someone so quickly?

    This was followed by one of our first and only fights in our years-long relationship. At the end of it, I submitted, admitted I was in the wrong and told her my opinion should not ruin the tools which helped her begin to skate. To this day though, every time a reference to anything Braille or Revive pops up, I instinctually clench my jaw and remember the day I was the skateboard jock.


In summation RipNDip definitely sucks but I won't be that person to hurt someone's feelings by being that dick. If you are going to let the cat out of the bag saying tag them along with his exs story on IG.

This is a great post.

I am not a fan of Braille, but they do serve an important niche in the skate scene that traditional brands balked at.

Decent beginner-friendly how-to videos.

All those transworld ones or whatever were garbage, a naturally talented pro who has never broken down the mechanics of something into bite-sized parts films the shittiest ‘how to’ in 30 minutes that teaches you nothing.

Braille’s ‘Can you skate a frozen pizza?!?’ stuff is obviously aimed at 12-year olds, but the how-to stuff is done well enough.

Great story about looking relooking at skating from a beginners shoes, El Fap. Your SO sounds rad that she was that keen on skating that she went through all that trouble to research it.

something's fishy though, or else the guy is hugely over leveraged on his house.

Either this, or we are significantly underrating the value of putting a cat on a t-shirt
