The Riders Project was founded by a few individuals who grew up in an outdoor playground and fell in love. We have enjoyed active lifestyles through skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, and surfing for as long as can be remembered. We have been immersed in these sports and the lifestyle that accompanies them for years, and have seen it all. We have worked graveyard shifts every winter and we have lived in houses packed full of roommates. We have woken up at dawn to catch a few waves before work and been booted out of plenty of skate spots. We have had so much fun doing what we love that it doesn’t really seem fair to move on without giving something back. Problem is, we are just as broke as the next guy and can’t just cut a giant check and call it good. That is why we formed The Riders Project as our way of leaving a lasting positive impression.
We hope to make an impression on our peers and show them how great it feels to give back to the lifestyle that has given us so much. We know that it hurts to open up your wallet for new gear each season, and that most of you don’t have cushy jobs with big salaries, so it isn’t easy giving to charity. That is what motivated us to design a new way to donate money to these deserving causes. By tapping into the generosity of companies within the industry that understand and share our goal, we were able to get our hands on some of that gear that you need to feed your addiction. We sell you the stuff that you have to buy anyway, but we donate all of the profit to charity on your behalf. That way you can get your dose of good karma that keeps the sets rolling in and the snow falling without breaking the bank along the way.
