Event History

The “Rip and Ride” was brought to life by OZFREERIDE.COM and the Cronulla Freeride Crew in 2008, with the idea of promoting our sport to Rookies entailing a fun filled day with prizes, without the added pressure of a freeride competition. This was proven last year for the inaugural Rip and Ride when, from an expected 25 entrants, we signed up 42, majority being males aged between 18 and 35. In, 2009 it had attracted over 60 international and local riders . 2010 we had 67 riders and now 2011 we reached a capacity of 73 within three days of the entries being released.
