The second chapter of the Palmistry Guide reaches the Nordic Islands with Iceland being the next adventure.

The Vans team, comprised of 3 BMX riders, Matthias Dandois, Justin Fouque and Theo Zannettacci would be the chosen few. Anton Örn Arnarson, their Icelandic guide, would follow them throughout this second expedition. Vans three riders went exploring this extraordinary land where beauty and strength both emerge from the natural elements. Nature at its purest, Matthias, Theo and Justin have touched, visited and rode it.
