MEET THE RIPS = Jess Rips + Rus Rips
The Rips
The road doesn’t care who you are. It doesn’t care about followers, cameras, or captions. It rewards patience, punishes ego, and exposes anyone pretending. That’s why Jess Rips (IG jess_rips)and Rus Rips (IG rus_rips) resonate. The road recognizes them — and riders do too.
The Rips aren’t a moment. They’re a pattern.
They ride through weather most people wait out. They take routes most people avoid. They choose the long way when the shortcut looks tempting. Not for content — but because that’s how riding is supposed to feel. Unscripted. Uncomfortable at times. Earned.

That mindset lines up naturally with brands built the same way — brands like Legendary USA where gear isn’t designed for trends or timelines, but for miles, wear, and longevity.
Their influence didn’t come from chasing algorithms. It came from showing up. Ride after ride. Event after event. Gas stops where conversations matter more than photos. Parking lots where respect is quiet and earned, not announced. Over time, people started watching because The Rips weren’t performing — they were participating.
Jess Rips stands out because she never asked for permission. She rides with confidence that comes from skill, not posturing. She represents a generation of riders who don’t need to explain why they belong — they just ride. Her presence challenges the old assumptions without trying to tear them down. No speeches. No slogans. Just competence, consistency, and grit — the same qualities that define gear made to be worn hard, like the gloves and jackets built at Legendary USA.
Rus Ripps is the counterbalance. Calm, deliberate, grounded. He rides with the kind of awareness that only comes from experience — reading roads, reading people, knowing when to push and when to hold back. He doesn’t need to be loud. He doesn’t need to lead every conversation. His authority shows up in the details: how he rides, how he moves, how he carries himself. The same attention to detail riders look for when choosing equipment they trust on every ride.
Together, they’re stronger than either would be alone. Not because they’re polished, but because they’re real. They argue. They laugh. They get tired. They get better. The bond between them isn’t curated — it’s built through shared miles and shared risk. Riding together creates a trust most people never experience, and it shows in everything they do.
The Rips don’t sell a fantasy of motorcycle life. They show the truth:
-
Freedom comes with responsibility
-
Confidence comes from repetition
-
Style comes from use, not costumes
That philosophy mirrors the old-school approach behind Legendary USA’s motorcycle gloves — made to break in, not break down, and designed to earn character over time.
Their content captures the quiet moments riders know best — the pause before a long ride, the silence after shutting the engine off, the look that says “you good?” without a word spoken. Those moments can’t be staged. They have to be lived.
In a space crowded with noise, The Rips represent something steady. They remind people that motorcycle culture isn’t about being seen — it’s about being there. About the road, the machine, and the people who choose it.
The Rips don’t chase relevance.
They ride through it.
And that’s why people keep following — and why they ride with brands like Legendary USA understand the difference between hype and heritage.
