KISS and Freeride teaming up?

"He says there was a murder here last night, " explains our translator with a half English and half Mandarin accent. " We should get out of here."   Darren Berrecloth, Cameron McCaul, Blake Jorgenson(Photographer), Todd Barber(Logistics) and myself(Filmer) all look at each other for a quick second, taking a brief moment to let it sink in that we are not in North America anymore.
