The owners are some of the freindliest people i have met and they provide a safe and positive atmosphere for all the young (and old) skaters who come through the doors.
The Ripped is a well built, uniquely designed and comunity spirited facility, it should be valued similarly to any other recreational rescource such as swimming pools, football pitches etc.

I've made a lot of friends over the last 2 years at The Ripped and most of them live all about Yorkshire (and beyond), so if this place goes down we don't just loose a place to skate we loose the 'hub', the social center. All this at risk just because some thieves stole lead from the roof during the bad flood period, makes me sick. Please help us out if you can.
