Richie Schley · Professional Biker

"Man is free when he decides to be." It is all of our choices to be free or feel free. Being outside, doing what I choose to do is freedom to me.

Adventure is everything to me. Mountain biking, skiing, surfing or any kind of outdoor adventures, are what fuel my sole. I feel it is necessary to work with brands that make everything I need to withstand the elements and have a resposible approach in how they do it.
Today more than ever we need to take care of the earth and play in it responsibly. Vaude's level of commitment toward the earth, motivates me even more, to live up to their high standard of nuturing mother nature.
