Story by Ben Chibber

Dan Pageau, Matt Metzner, Andrew Koronovich (Photographer)and I left Vancouver, Wednesday morning 12:22 am to drive east to Lethbridge,Alberta. I drove all night and arrived in Osoyoos, BC at 6:30 AM. That was a good 6 hr drive with no sleep for more than 24 hrs, got some food and went straight to the skate park and had a 3 hr session. We then got back on the road at 9:30 am, Matt took over the next driving shift. He drove agood 10 hrs till 7 pm. I then took over and drove the last 4 hrs. We arrived at Norm’s house, the owner of the local shop in Lethbridge called ‘Infamous’.
