Our story
We are riders from across Nassau and Suffolk County — Long Island, NY — who carry the Ruff Ryders name on Long Island roads. The chapter is built on brotherhood, discipline on the road, and real presence in the neighborhoods we come from.
Ruff Ryders began in Yonkers, New York as a music and lifestyle organization and grew into a motorcycle and lifestyle movement with chapters around the world. Long Island is one of those chapters.
The President’s vision · Jcass
“Ride hard, show up harder.”
For our President, Jcass, this chapter is personal. He came up on Ruff Ryders — the music, the bikes, the family that came with it — and it shaped how he moves today. The vision he carries is simple: take that same love and point it straight back at the neighborhoods that raised us.
- Kids first. Backpacks and supplies in hands before the first bell — every school year.
- Nobody hungry. Food drives and cookouts for families going through it across Long Island, NY.
- Show up for neighbors. Blood drives, wellness days, and a hand for people nobody else is checking on.
Next up: three chapter benefits on the calendar — the back-to-school ride, the food drive and cookout, and a blood drive and community wellness day. Ride with us, donate, or bring a partner organization to the table.
That is what the patch means here. Long Island is not a logo on a vest — it is riders who grew up on this lifestyle and choose to give it back on the same streets that raised them.
Visit the national organizationHow Long Island fits under national
We operate as a chapter under the Ruff Ryders national organization. National administers membership, sets regulations and approves chapters; we run rides, meetings and community work here on the Island within those rules. This site is the Long Island chapter’s site — it is not the national organization.
The Ruff Ryders lifestyle is an attitude and a frame of mind — strength, confidence, pride and integrity. Members represent the brand with pride, poise and integrity, and give back to families and the community.
