Rippin' is the motorcycle app for riders who want better routes, a tighter crew, and a real reason to ride more. Claim territory. Collect cards. Run up the score. Rippin' turns the map into a game you play on two wheels. TURF WARS - OWN THE MAP Ride a closed loop and the ground you circle becomes your turf. Real rides carve real territory on a live map. Claim new ground, take it from someone else, defend what's yours, and stack turf with your squad until your colors are all over the city. POKER RUNS - COLLECT CARDS IN THE WILD Card locations sit out on the map waiting to be found. Ride to one, check in, pull a card. Build the best five-card hand you can, watch your friends sweat their last card, and climb the run leaderboard. It's a poker night that happens at riding speed. SQUAD WARS & BRAND WARS Squad Wars ranks public squads by rep, miles, turf, and crowns, so your crew has something to fight for every week. Brand Wars puts your bike badge in the fight - Ducati, Harley, Triumph, Yamaha, whatever you ride - and every mile you log goes on your brand's board. EARN WHILE YOU RIDE Log rides, chase segments, complete challenges, and stack points toward rewards, gear drops, perks, and leaderboard status. SOLO RIDER MODE Find nearby roads, build quick loops, track your rides, save favorites, and keep your progress moving even when you ride alone. SQUADS & CREW RIDING Create or join squads, share invites, ping "I'm Riding Now" or "Who's Down?", and keep everyone synced on rides, members, and activity. ORGANIZER TOOLS Host meets and recurring ride plans, manage RSVPs, and run your crew with clear planning and communication. MULTI-DAY TRIP PLANNING Use AI trip planning to generate moto-friendly routes with stops, pace, and style preferences for weekend runs and longer tours. EXPLORE BETTER ROADS Discover segments, scenic roads, local recommendations, tracks, and rider-shared Local Roads worth detouring for. COMMUNITY THAT MOVES Post photos, share rides, like, comment, and follow what riders near you are doing right now. PROFILE, GARAGE & PROGRESS Show your bikes track maintenance, rides, badges, passport stamps, points, turf, and milestones all in one place. Photographers can drop locations on the map too. Add coordinates, time, and ride-day details so riders know where to find the shot. Rippin' is built for casual riders, weekend crews, event organizers, and distance riders who want more than a GPS log. Ride more. Own more. Bring your crew.
