Ferndale, WA – June 16th 2008 -- Nelson BC native and freeride pioneer Mike Kinrade sings on with Transition Bikes for the 2008 Season. Kinrade is known for his big mountain riding and ability to build lines in the most remote and unique regions in North America. Known for his go big style, Kinrade is a veteran of all 4 Redbull Rampage contests and co-producer and rider in the video series "Stund". "Mike was a great fit for Transition and has one of the best work ethics in the industry. He also builds his own lines for movies and photo shoots which in my mind is one of the greatest assets a pro rider can have today. When you look at one of Mike's photos or videos shot in the high alpine in some of the most beautiful places in the world you can't help but get inspired to do the same, says Kevin Menard owner of Transition Bikes."
