There are more than 3 people on the shop “Team” so I thought I’d run some mini interviews with the guys you might not hear much from anymore.
First up is our very own Canadian team member Dawso.

We discuss Chipmunks, hiking and mountain bikes amongst other things so read on!
So Dawso, looks like you’ve found yourself a job and you’re staying in Canada?
yeah man sure am, I’ll see what the summer is all about.
You’re building right?
That is correct
Are you going to get the Hilux imported over to carry all your tools around in?
No way man, I’ve got a pretty sweet deal at the moment the boss provides the tools yew

You’ve been over there for half year stints to snowboard, now that you’re staying and the snow will be melting soon can you see yourself taking up downhill mountain biking? The trails over there are as good as the slopes are in the winter.
I’ve been thinking about getting one hey, it could be fun. Well, from what I’ve herd summer and Mountain biking is more busy than winter so it must be good, will soon find out hey. You may see me stinging round on a mountain bike who knows..
I can’t wait to see that, I might even make my way over there in the summer to shred some hills
What else have you been doing? from the looks of all the photos on your facebook you’ve been hiking a bit?
Pretty well just snow boarding and sinkin tins but the sinking tins part will slow right up now im working, that’s not fun when you’re hungover. I’ve done a little bit of hiking and I’m really keen to do some more its beautiful up here hey.

Have you run into any locals like Moose, bears, beavers?
No moose or beavers, pretty spewing!
Just before the end of the Telus Ski & Snowboard Festival we got a hotel room right at the bottom of the hill to watch the big air and there were a couple of guys setting up there in the afternoon and we saw a bear run across, jump the fence and head straight for them haha, our hotel room was going nuts and the guys ran up the hill and the bear just went stinging past them wild.

A few months back you got in a spot of bother at the Canada/USA boarder, what happened there?
Yeah that wasn’t fun at all, I thought I was getting sent home. I got lucky hey that’s pretty well all I have to say about that…
Any last words?
Hope to ride with all you boys soon ride it,”TEAM TURTS” catch ya’s round!
Thanks bro!
