Documentary Launch - Sink Or Swim - Owen Vermeulen

In 1994, 15-year-old @owenvermeulen78 stepped off a Greyhound bus in the Downtown Eastside just as the Vancouver riots broke out. Captivated by the energy and chaos, that moment set the tone for the next twenty years of his life as a skateboarder and struggling addict. During one of many attempts to get clean, Owen met a man who would change his life. Owen's friend, the owner of a local bike shop, gave him a bike of his own. Chasing his new passion for gravel endurance racing provided Owen with everything he needed to break the cycle of addiction.
