Sam Lowe / Intro
Life wouldn't be complete without the cool and calm composure of a Canadian on the team. In Sam's case he certainly puts that cool and calm composure to good use and completely annihilates the streets. Sam can be categorised as 'the silent shredder' on any trip; constantly battling some kind of injury, Sam is by far a well-rounded addition to the team.
