VASHON, WA (January 10, 2007) It is with great pleasure that Ride announces the latest addition to the International Pro Team ... please join us in welcoming Hana Beaman to the Ride family! Hana brings a much needed balance to Ride's program for women as she supports our board and binding lines, and in addition brings a wealth of experience, motivation, ability, amazing attitude, and our team's mandatory prerequisite fun lovin' good times! Hana has long been at the forefront of progressing women's snowboarding, balancing a rigorous filming schedule while not shying away from the contest circuit. You will be sure to see Hana defending her titles in '07 as well as filming her video part with Runway Films for the '07 Season.

"I'm so happy to be part of such a strong team with sick product. It's so nice to find a really good home here at Ride," says Hana. Team Manager Matt Sickels comments, "Hana was like a missing puzzle piece ... we found her right under our noses and the puzzle is now complete. It's turned out to be a great start to 2007! This has been a very natural move for all of us as Hana has been a good friend of the team for years now and she's so fun to be around. Obviously her riding speaks for itself: 2006 Female Rider of the Year ... what else can I say? It's nothing short of spectacular having Hana join Ride!"

Welcome to the team, Hana!
