I was one of the dudes that suggested you wear a vest. Not for one second would I be offended if you chose not too man. You dont need to explain yourself to anyone and thanks for the kind words about doing whats true to you. As a 37 year old with a family everyone thinks I am an absolute mad man for learning how to skate in my 30’s. But its been one of the best things I have ever done for my soul!! Stay safe man and so stoked for your journey!! 🤘

@ChadCaruso I currently live in San Diego & my car was recently stolen back in December and the stigma of not being able to drive to my destinations such as work & school has been a drag. Watching your documentation lately of your skate accross America has been incredibly inspiring & helping me realize I don’t need a car to be happy & succeed. You motivated me to start wanting to skate all over San Diego county again & to openly welcome the challenge of staying motivated :) Please don’t give up!! You’re doing something really amazing here ❤

Well…do you think if we see a sign that says “no skateboarding” that we shoulda kinda follow that? Not that high-vis is a rule/bylaw but same deal. He could’ve had helmet, full pads and vest and GoPro on the helmet and this and that and this. He’s doing just fine. Skateboarding is about fun and freedom. 👍✌️

@dhaloh Жыл бұрын
@@memorysometimers3067 It's not about "not following rules" though. It's just so damn simple to put on a cheap, lightweight vest that CAN prevent accidents. If you can take simple, easy measures to protect yourself that don't even limit comfort, then why not do it? By your logic, the same would apply to other scenarios like safe sex. Why wear a condom if there's a small % chance it won't work? I and everyone sane says - cause there's still a huge % of chance wearing it WILL WORK.

Even though it's more dangerous without the hi-viz vest, I appreciate your bravery for just going out and doing the things you want to do in life. So many people, including myself, are just too scared to do the things they want. Been watching everyday of this trip, and it gives me courage to eventually do my own long solo trip. Keep up the good work brother.

I definitely love how you keep coming across cool strangers and having cool interactions.

Props for making it this far even I'm on the Playlist for the rest of the trip. Such a huge undertaking and you actually did it.
