I am Kyle Norbraten and I am from Prince George, BC. Growing up in PG I was lucky to have a lot of freedom to ride bikes. PG is set like a bowl, with hills surrounding the town. I lived right at the edge of town so I had access to a lot of trails that I would explore as a kid. I found myself loving biking more and more as I was growing up, and as I began to catch bigger air on jumps and drop off roof tops I realized I had some skill in what I was enjoying. There was nothing I loved more than biking. I went from all day dreaming about bikes while I was in school, to all day dreaming about bikes while I was at work, to just dreaming about making riding bikes a job in general.

That dream came true through a natural and unplanned process when I moved to the Sunshine Coast of BC. After moving to this mountain bike wonderland I met Curtis and Dylan and discovered they were the same as me: happiness = ride bikes and do all things that involve riding bikes. An opportunity to create a movie segment for Kranked 8 was our first major opportunity to prove ourselves, and my first movie segment. We set a high bar for ourselves, accomplished big time and the Coastal Crew was created. We realized we worked great together and were good at three things we had deep passion in: riding, digging, and filming. From there we bought our own camera and had fun with what did by creating a web series throughout 2010. The series brought great popularity and helped to define us as the Coastal Crew. We created a loyal and enthusiastic fan base which we enjoyed sharing our videos with. Throughout our adventures we did some work with Anthill Films who we soon partnered up with to create our first film, ‘From the Inside Out’, which was a great success as well. Now here we are in the present: recharged with the confidence of the best bikes in the world, and open doors to the endless possibilities of what to do next…
