About Us

Ripride Skateshop is an Independent Skateboarder Owned & Operated Shop.

Established in 2012, we had shops in both Rugby & Leamington Spa where we operated from until 2018. Now we are set to reopen both our physical store & website for Spring 2021.

In 2014 we helped raise the funds - £110k - to start the build of our new skatepark. We were responsible for the design alongside Canvas Skateparks. The space allocated was a pretty odd shape & size so we decided to take influence from some of our favourite spots & DIY parks - we're proud of what we managed to achieve with this under some pretty difficult circumstances. Work was completed in November 2016 & is located at Victoria Park, Leamington Spa, CV31 3PH - GO GET SOME!

As well as supplying goods from the more established companies we are proud that we were the first UK Stockists of Doomsayers Club, Our Life Socks, Deathlens, How Dare You! zine & 151 Skateboards!

We proudly support:

Antihero, Real Skateboards, Spitfire Wheels, Krooked, Independent Truck Co, Death Skateboards, Alien Workshop, Confusion Magazine, New Deal, Blast Skates, 151 Skateboards, Powell Peralta, Jessup Grip, Santa Cruz, Black Label, Thrasher Magazine, HDY!, Dogpiss Mag, Mob Grip & more.

All of our own shop Clothing is hand screened in the UK by Sketch Stance & our stickers are hand screened by Blackmarket - both Skater Owned Companies.
