that occurred several years ago. He’s trying to win a contest that will allow him to go on a snowmobile adventure in Canada. He’s totally wicked and still does tons of stuff. Right now he’s riding a hand powered “bike” 1400km across a huge portion of Canada… And it’s cold as fuck… Anyhow, if you guys could vote for him, you would be really helping an awesome dude get a hard earned break. > **[Log In or Sign Up to View](https://www.facebook.com/9lives.page?sk=app_176217385757369)** > > See posts, photos and more on Facebook.
