For 24-year-old skateboarder Josh Dunstone, Canada is like home-away-from-home. While many tourists come to this country to explore famous landmarks, what amazes the young Australian is Canada’s skateboarding scene.

He has been regularly visiting Canada to participate in freestyle skateboarding competitions. This time he flew all the way to the other end of the world and spent about $3,000 on flights, just for the first-ever ‘7 Generations Cup’ – an Indigenous-hosted three-day pro skateboarding event taking place this weekend at Langley Events Centre (LEC).
