After driving 224km we arrived in Swift Current later that night around 10 pm. We checked in to the Safari Hotel where our rooms were called hippopotamous, gemsbok deer and zebra room.

We were in a small little town of 16,000 people called Swift Current, Saskatchewan. It’s a great town with a nice little skatepark. We had a nice BBQ with hotdogs, burgers and drinks.

The whole crew got around 80 clips all together. I feel that was one of our best demos yet. We also taught the kids how to do some tricks like kickflips, heelflips and hardflips.
It’s really cool that our events was advertised in the local papers and radio stations. I feel like we have left a positive impact on a lot of kids lives so far and that’s a great feeling. Over all it was a great day at Swift Current.

We slept one more night and left in the morning for Saskatoon.

Would like to thank the City of Swift Current, Safari Hotel and all the other sponsors.
