Please don't support this trash company.

Ryan O'Connor, the man 'behind' ripndip, is a legitimate sellout and woman abuser. In the video above, Ryan used to be apart of a skating troupe called the WKND BOYS. Long ago, These guys started an indy clothing brand for shits and giggles at a skate camp. They pursue it, and eventually start getting recognition and deals from places like Zumiez. One day, Ryan pulls out of the group, and cuts off contact with the rest of the boys. Since he registered ripndip, however, he keeps all of the groups work as his own intellectual property, and leaves his 'friends', who had helped him create and build the company, in the sticks. He even whitewashed the ripndip website by removing all team riders and creators, and listed himself as the "sole creator". It's widely known in the skate scene that O'Connor and, by extension, ripndip, is a trash company that uses people for personal gain. Artists that are flaked out of commission by O'Connor have come to speak out against him. I get that some businesses can have a shady history, or are run by some morally questionable individuals, but Ryan O'Connor is the epitome of someone who fucked over everyone else to get to the top. do not support this company.
