Name of the shop? Fourword Bike and Board
Name of person answering the questions? Mike Lilge
How long has the shop been around for? what has been the secret to being successful?
7 years. The secret to being successful is hustling all day and night and working long hours...and I'll let you know the rest when we are actually successful.
What is you're local mountain? (when does it open usually?)
Nitehawk is our local hill. It opens when the snow dumps and stays. Other than that we drive 4 hours for the secret stash known as Powder King
Do you have any good shoplifter stories?
Our manager at the time (Geezer) and I caught a guy who stole 9 hats from us at once. He was selling candy machines for the stores and part of the proceeds went to charities so we thought he was decent. So when we found out he stole them, we went to his vehicle and confronted him. He ended up trying to take off in his vehicle, so we both grabbed him and tore him from his steering wheel while at the same time ripping his stick shift off. We threw him to the ground where Geezer then proceeded to rob him and take his wallet and his shoes. It was a role reversal of pure awesomeness. It was amazing.
What is the food/drink spot of choice that you'd have to be local to know about?
The local drink spot would be anywhere they serve Quad rye and cokes, which is everywhere. Other than that it's Maddhatters.
Hit us with some local knowledge or history.
I'm pretty sure Grande Prairie invented the Calvin Pissing on Ford sticker and any other variant those beauties could come up with.
