Richie Schley has long been a member of the crankbrothers family, so much so he is a regular couch surfer here during our pseudo winters in Laguna Beach…. although we still envy his hometown of Whistler. Well known as a freeride pioneer, both on skis and bikes, he has continued to pave the way for young rippers and all-mountain riding in general. It’s really Richie’s love for the mountains, the outdoors, and the adventure of it all that inspires our lifestyle. From films and photography all over the world, to park design, events, and instructional camps, to local hooligan rides – Richie surely has some stories to share.
