Rites of Passage (or ROP) is a Northeast U.S. suspension team responsible for many incredible moments, public and private.

Founded by Emrys Yetz in Pittsfield, MA, the group has multiplied to many chapters through the Northeastern United states. The group has been compared to activities in the movie Fight Club, where chapters spring up nationwide. As of 2010, Rites of Passage is nine years old, with their first suspension as a group on April 24th 2001. Besides Emrys, founding members included Nate Coons, Dave Grant, Dan Ritcher and Adam Walsh.
