English term or phrase: rips
He’s Quirky. He’s Bold. And He Rips. Se refiere a un esquiador de estilo libre, cómo se podría traducir aquí este verbo? No hay más contexto. es el titular de un vídeo. Gracias

Explanation:
Diría que se refiere a lo veloz que es.

2. rip - move precipitously or violently; "The tornado ripped along the coast"
shoot down, tear, buck, charge, shoot - move quickly and violently; "The car tore down the street"; "He came charging into my office"

Te propongo varias opciones:
Y es veloz como el rayo
Y su forma de esquiar es vertiginosa / de vértigo
Y es puro desenfreno

Algo así.

¡Suerte!

la rompe


Explanation:
Es muy coloquial pero aquí en Argentina cuando alguien es muy bueno en algo (ej.: un deporte), decimos "la rompe".
