Stranger coming through with a fresh mix featuring the crew out cruising spots in California. This has a pretty chill vibe, but with a crew like this, you know the riding is on point. Take a look!

Man, what is going on over at Stranger these days? They’ve been busy stacking the team with a bunch of heavy names, and it looks like they have added… Or should we say re-added another one! Shawn McIntosh has parted ways with Fit Bike Co. and joined the Stranger team! As some of you might recall, Shawn was one of the original team riders for Stranger when it launched back around 2010 before heading to Fit, but it looks like he decided to make his way back. Below is the instagram post he dropped to announce the news. The clip is from way back when he originally rode for Stranger the first time.

Here’s some sponsor for you! It looks like Stevie Churchill has parted ways with Federal Bikes to ride for Stranger! This isn’t a complete shock since we always did see the possibility of Stevie riding for Stranger since he’s on the Primo Pro team as well and spends time with Rich Hirsch pretty regularly.
We’ve been seeing the Stranger team getting pretty stacked as of late, so we can only imagine having Stevie on the team will only push things even further. Expect to see plenty from Stevie and Stranger in 2019!

Here’s a raw cut of footage Stranger put together from some time Stephan August and Diego Bravo got in while out cruising a few street spots in Los Angeles. This has a pretty laid back and chill vibe, but there’s some solid clips worth taking a look at. Take a look!
