In its Fifth proven year of success the Cronulla 2012 Rip'N Ride 5 will be held at the prime location of Wanda Beach. A huge stage for both riders and spectators has expectations for the latest, greatest and never before attempted aerial tricks at its peak. With the who’s who of local and international riders combined with the newest faces to the sport the Rip N Ride format is in a class of its own. With entry positions limited to 70 riders, this year was sold out in a record 25 hours. It is said that no other competition of its class can compete with those figures, making it a world renowned attraction.
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. The success has been the key to a bigger and better event building year after year from the inaugural Rip and Ride of an expected 25 riders we received 42, majority being males aged between 18 and 35. In, 2009 it had attracted over 60 international and local riders, 2010-11:- 67 riders and finally to today having to cap the entries at 70. Since the introduction of the Rip'N Ride, the New South Wales Freeride Association (NSWFA) has been formed as a freeride jet skiing body. Following on from that came the Victorian Freeride Association (VICFA) and Queensland Freeride Watercraft Association (QFWA) with the intention and success of hosting their own Rip'N Ride events.
