In May 2019 five Swedes flew from one kingdom to a republic. The good reputation of Wheels of Fortune had reached the small country in the north and a trip was arranged to visit it.
As plans were forming it was decided to increase the number of days and as a final stop, visit the Vancouver contest Stop, Drop, and Roll. Those days between the two events are called The Orca Tour.
The northwest border of Canada and the US enjoys a stunning scenery. Small islands, big mountains and perhaps some orcas will pass by as the ferries navigate through the area. Living in a tent, the Swedes had several encounters with deers, mystiques and once saw a bear.
The photos below show our home (the tent), some skate tricks and other funny photos as we survived the wilderness. A major thank you to WoF, Stop, Drop, and Roll and the many encounters we enjoyed with friendly Canadians and Americans.
Now check out the Orca skate video over here.
