Rick McCrank is a quiet guy. He's soft spoken, doesn't drink, doesn't eat meat, and he's Canadian to boot. No Moosehead brews and Canadian bacon for this North of the Border dweller. All that ends though as soon as he steps on a skateboard, he'll shred the hell out of anything you give him, and he'll do it with some of the best style in the business. Rick's been in the game for years, and has the complete package: street, park, transition you name it, he can skate it, and he'll be the last to tell you. Plus, he has the illustrious title of being "The Most Canadian Rider On Girl," which is a pretty, pretty, pretty big deal, especially since Girl has another Canadian team rider named Rick as in Howard.

Besides being one those pros lucky enough to have built up enough of a reputation to still be doing it, he's a little bit of an undercover businessmen. He co-owns Momentum wheels, and owns Anti-Social skate shop up there in Vancuover. Rick, being the supporter of the arts that he is, even has a gallery at the shop to give creators somewhere to hang their creations, and over on its site a cool, artsy little blog, you should check it out.

Anyway, he's a little video of the one and only Rick McCrank putting on a transition clinic courtesy of eS Films:
