Evon started chatting online with one of Bill Cameron’s students who resides in Sweden, Linda Ohgren. They teamed up and brought their coach Bill Cameron to Sweden where Bill introduced Sweden to the sport of Extreme Cowboy Racing. Within a few days of arrival, many other Europeans from surrounding countries including Andre Veris of Belgium visited and watched Bill. With an epic demonstration the following year at the most prestigious annual Swedish rodeo competition, Chaparral, where Bill was live streamed across the globe performing for over 4,000 people in person, Bill had Europe hooked!
