You motivated me to skate home from work. It was an 8 mile ride. And I’m a bit overweight so I had to walk some of the way. Mad respect to you for knocking out 50 a day man. You’re an athlete and an inspiration. Hitting up the skate park today

this journey is such a great analogy for life. ass roads, tendon inflammation, broken tooth...but keep pushin to the horizon. thank you chad, this is starting SO many peoples day off on the right foot. see ya tomorrow.

Chad you ever think about that you’re the first person ever put a skateboard on some of those roads

Chad, once you're done with your journey, you got to make a "Cowpilation" (Cow Compilation) from all the cows you saw along the way.

Dude, my goal in life is to be as chill as you are about everything. Nothing seems to bother you. Inspiring

Your skateboard journey is a metaphor for sobriety. One day at a time! There will always be ups and downs.. Keep kicking!

Tendonitis is normal... it's just means your body can't recover enough from the stress on the tendon. You need stretch and foam roll your calf. The trigger points in your calves are kind of blocking the blood to flow, which causes this. Also move the tendon right and left with you finger a bit to massage it. That helps too a lot. I had it for a long time and once I found out, it recovered very fastly. Hope that helps.

Incredible bro! Just noticed this today. Gonna turn on notifications and joining your journey each video!

i like when you end the vid at the next hotel, super dope bro i’m very invested in this series

Sorry about your tooth dude. I know exactly how that feels. The sharp edges are the worst. Keep ur tongue off of it. Try to avoid hard food on that side. Chips are dangerous. They're stabby. Hope you can take care of it soon. Keep up the good work dude. We're rooting for you.

Keep that tooth clean and get it pulled ASAP. I just went through that, trust me brother, you don't want it to get infected. That will cancel your trip before anything else

you should really go see a dentist as soon as you can to avoid getting exposed nerve pain which is absolutely brutal. I dont want to see you suffer from tooth pain its so bad sometimes. Hoping and praying it doesnt cause you any pain or discomfort at all though. Safe travels brother!

Pick up some inserts for your shoes to protect feet till new ones arrive. Get tooth filled to avoid infection. Keep rollin!

You got this man!! I can barely ride my skateboard but you've motivated me to get off my ass and try it. You got this man!

I've been watching this whole journey and faith is humanity is restored whenever someone pulls off the road and offers to help you out and gives you food/water. It's awesome to see there's still good people out there. And dude, it's mindblowing to hear how far you've skated, but whenever you say what city you're finishing up at, I pull up a map and it's even more mindblowing just to see how far you've gone. Keep it up man! We're all rooting for you!

A small keychain-sized can of pepper spray might have been a good idea for Coyote and defense against the crazies lol. like one of those small POM branded ones. What do you think Chad? PS really enjoying watching your trip!

Coyotes are surprisingly aggressive little boogers, be careful with those guys. Mad respect, this trip is definitely not easy, especially by the look of those roads. Keep pushing G,eye be rooting for you brother.

been skating almost 40 years, bombing hills is probably still my favorite single thing to do on a skateboard... totally worth the uphill :D

You are the man Chad Stay strong.

They make temporary tooth filler that you can get at any pharmacy. It will keep you tooth from getting worse. Same thing happened to me with a Cliff bar. I only have the one molar on that side too! I got lucky and the temporary filler allowed the dentist to save it. Good luck Chad. My advice is to find a pharmacy asap and look for cavity filler shit. Its easy to put on and it leaves a hard putty in the hole so it doesn't get worse.

Chad, Hwy 180 will be a challenging road. When you get past hwy 351, closer to Albany, the road changes and maybe a little more smooth. If you made it to Anson today, then you will have maybe a half day more of this rough road, and then the other half should be smooth going into Albany. Best of luck, you got this! 💪

I feel you on the drinking man, it’s hard to fill your time after spending so much time doing that shit. Been trying to get my body in ok condition to start skating consistently again, I’d love to try to do this sometime too. Good luck G, you got this.

I like that your journey is showing the kindness that still exist! KEEP PUSHING ✨👟

I’ve broken off a tooth before it’s gnarly. So long as your root isn’t exposed and you use original listerine or something you should be good!

Chad "The Legend" Caruso

Chad you’re amazing and we love you ❤ please get that tooth looked at. You might lose a day but you will lose weeks or more if you let it go untreated: ‘A broken tooth shouldn't be left untreated. Even if a broken tooth doesn't hurt or isn't bothering you, it can put you at risk for other more serious issues if not corrected quickly. One of the most bothersome risks of leaving a broken tooth alone is having food get stuck inside, which can cause acute infections.’ Maybe ask in your video for anyone who might be or know any dentist who can offer to help anywhere near where you are going?

The rough pavement is called Chip Seal...it sucks on road racing bikes too..🤯

You're an inspiration in a lot of ways, man. I live alone and work from home doing a computer/desk job and spend all my time wishing I was outside exploring and skating. You're out there doing hard work and that struggle isn't lost on me, and I'm sure I'm not even your target audience necessarily - but you're a champion for folks like me trapped in corporate boredom. Take care of yourself out there and try to enjoy the struggle. You may never be so fortunate to get a struggle like this one ever again.

If things get too dodgy you can always take care of yourself and then go back to the point where you left off and continue the trip

Stay strong and be safe. You’re an inspiration!

I’m absolutely loving this content man, so cool to see someone live out one of my dreams

Hey man, really enjoying watching your journey across the states! Stay positive brother!

Another great video. Love that you show the interactions. That short clip of the wheels over that road that was so bad really showed how bad it is, crazy! I’ve never skated on anything that rough and can’t imagine miles of that. Mad respect. Good luck with the tooth, probably should get it taken care of but it seems like your path is your own so maybe that will be a after the journey task.

I can really appreciate the effort of what you are doing. I skated 124 miles in one day at the Miami Ultra Skate this year, but then I needed to rest for a few days. I can only imagine the effort it takes to do it every day.

This is unreal. Favorite part of the day is seeing ur updates. I'm surprised the whole world isn't paying attention . Very motivating. We r all rooting for u

Thanks for sharing your incredible journey. I love how your positivity shines through the toughest of times. Keep moving forward!

This is one of the more unique and epic feats of endurance I’ve ever had a pleasure of seeing man. Keep pushing! Hope the roads get smoother for yah

Enjoy watching your skateboarding journey!

keep pushing brother!!

I hope you get Some relief from the pain. Keep pushing!

Im finding this epic trip addictive..keep pushing Chad..croftee uk

I think it's awesome what you're doing, I've been watching every video, I can't imagine, .... I can't even skate more than 5 miles without getting tired, keep on trucking Chad!

Dang dude. What a journey you will remember as you get older.

Was waiting for the next vid to come up keep on pushin dude.

Damn, what a journey this will be. I’m glad I came across it and will definitely be here to watch you along the way. If you come through Tennessee I will be looking for you. Much love

Hey man! Fellow skater here. Been watching your tutorials for a while. Great content man. But this journey you’re taking right now. It’s unbelievable and inspiring. Going to continue following your journey and I wish you smooth roads, more helpful encounters, wind at your back, AND a pair of indestructible sunglasses!😎

Awesome ep man ,can't get enough of the little interactions ...loving it 🛹

I pray that you continue to have the strength to push forward. New challenges await for you every single day. Continue to overcome and conquer 💪

i feel you with your broken tooth. i have a broken one as well! took over a year for it to start hurting. getting it fixed tomorrow!

Sorry to hear about your tooth Chad. Hope it doesn't hurt during the trip. Keep pushing, stay safe!! 🤘🤘🔥🔥❤️

I have nothing but admiration for you & your amazing endeavour. I love that you keep your cheerful determination even when things are falling apart. It's genuinely inspiring to watch somebody keep such an even keel in such challenging circumstances. AND, as I'm sitting here in the UK typing with insane toothache from a broken tooth, I take comfort that I don't have to push 60 miles on hot shitty roads in the desert as well! More power to you my friend!

Another epic day!!!! Much respect!!!!!

Just found your videos, and extremely stoked to follow your journey! I’ve been considering rolling solo from NorCal to Venice myself : ) (On quads ) Just starting so I have to get caught up on what’s going on with you!!! Meanwhile, thank you thank you thank you You’ve relit my spark ✨✨✨✨

Hopefully you can get that tooth fixed as soon as ya can! Enjoying the progress, have been starting my day with your Skate Across America videos lately and its been a great mood booster.

Keep charging bro, the dog days must be brutal but you are inspiring so many! Safe journey!!!

What a trip.. inspiring 🔥

LOVE IT CHAD! Keep going! and look into those gel insoles!

Thank you Chad for the inspiration, I'm an alcoholic but you inspire me to stay sober. God bless you and yours. 🙏👍💪🤙

Wow, bro! I thought I was hardcore skating twenty miles in a day. Take a day or more to rest, recharge, heal, and go to the dentist for our sake! May you be healthy, happy, joyful, and free from suffering🙏🏼

So sorry about your tooth and the shoes. Keep pushing. You know it's gonna get better.

KEEP PUSHING 🔥

west texas is rough terrain man. you're almost through the desert! looking forward to seeing you in dallas !!

Avoid drinking sodas or sweet drinks, plain water is good! Keep safe Chad.

lol Chad, I dropped my car off at the shop today and skateboarding 2 miles home (inspired by you) while it was getting brakes done. Even after that short 2 mile skate home I was pooped (and I consider myself in shape). You're a beast.

loving the vlog m8...been following for a couple of weeks and find your journey so relaxing to watch from the comfort of my couch. also am finding it pretty nostalgic as i did an east to west US bicycle ride a couple of years ago from NY to LA. aggressive dogs were a mf constant! warmshowers was an incredibly useful resource btw...it's an odd sounding app (maybe you're already familiar??) but it was perfect if i didnt want to either camp or stay at a motel (basically it's couchsurfing but for traveling cyclists/skaters??)...you'd be surprised how many ppl, even in remote towns across the US use the app and happily host, cook and provide a bed for you. i met so many kind, generous ppl, helping me along the way and it's no surprise to see all the love being thrown at you too. may the wind be at your back m8, keep pushin, much love from sydney, australia :)

On bumpy roads, I have more luck skating on the yellow center line. Head on a swivel. That thick paint helps. Good luck with your trip. I'm there in spirit brotha!

"Me and you, make your move" LOL

Sending all the positive vibes from Lubbock tx!! Wish I could have been more proactive and tried to help you out on this leg of the trip :D sorry texas roads are so flat and bumpy!

You're a champion man.

Jeez. At least the title wasn't clickbait, you weren't kidding haha. Better days are ahead!

That coyote was 100% trying to see if he could take you down bro lol

The Coyote wanted to cuddle and play fetch! 😂😂😂😂

You got this brotha!🤙

Should get some business cards to hand out to everyone stops. Keep up the good work man! Appreciate what you are doing.

Keep on truckin Chad. Those road quality/conditions change at the county line if you don’t know. Rumble strip layouts too. Sometimes better….sometimes not. Ride safe.

Content over video quality every time. Stick with the phone or whatever works best for you. The quality is looking great. You don’t need anything larger, heavier or more complex. The videos are great and I look forward to them every day. Keep it up! You got this!

Keep trucking Chad.

If your tendon hurts too much it’s cool to take a week or two off to rest it. We have your back man!!!

Safe travels 🤙🛹💯

Ugh. Chip-seal roads suuuuck. That smell around Snyder is the oilfields... my condolences...

Keep it pushing

Tooth pain can suck! I wonder if eating while on rough roads contributed to the issue? Probably just an underlying problem but all that vibration can't be good for your teeth on teeth contact, maybe a bite guard if you are a teeth clencher when riding rough patches? Maybe some sugarless gum, just something to keep some space in your bite? At the very least go to a drug store and get a tooth repair kit! there are over the counter fixes that will last a day or two. Best of luck, keep pushing!

Those Life bars are like rock. I recently broke my tooth next to my wisdom tooth with no pain. Just make sure there’s nothing in the broken tooth before bed and it shouldn’t cause you any problems

Yo man - very impressed with your consistent mileage! Keep up the good work & thanks for keeping us updated 🤜🏼🛹🤛🏼

Def been there on the tooth thing. Hope it stays at bay brotha

Good lord, just hearing the sound of that road makes my feet hurt - too bad about the tooth, sucks when that happens, it's probably from all the bad asphalt shaking it apart ;)

Legend!❤🛹🛹🛹

I empathize about you tooth problem, don’t let it get infected, that will set you back for sure. As for pit bulls and aversive dogs, if it were me I would have a small to medium size pepper spray for self protection. That looked like some really rough road , hope it gets smooth again. Massage and gently stretch the tendons, also some Arnica Montana jell would help if you can find some, I use it on my bad calf and knee all the time, hope it goes better, next day.

I've been lightly rolling my heel on a lacrosse ball to help with some tendonitis (I think it's tendonitis at least), and just a few seconds a couple times a day seems to loosen things up. If you still have that bouncy ball, you might give it a try, but keep it light and don't overdo it.

Love the vids

You are an inpiration Chad! I hope you take a few days to get refreshed and restore yourself

Being chased by dogs? skating across a road paved with rocks? teeth falling out? stuck in the middle of nowhere with all businesses boarded up? This is turning into a fever dream

the downhills are going to be crazy one you get across Texas, should of brought slide gloves

Each one teach one. lets keep it on the up for the Man in black.🤙

I was working in Jeffersonvill Indiana which I skated their bowl Louisville Kentucky. Yes they have a pool park ghetto but real. Downey California

Power to you Bro!!! I Love It High Praise Small suggestion if thats ok I'd love to see the location along with the day Sorry to complain (like the SNL appl video) lmao Best to you and yours brother 777

man, that gravel section in the middle was brutal form the sound of it. so rough on the ancles.

Had the tooth thing happen to me recently. Hit my big front tooth with a elastic tightener for my hoodie and snapped it literally in half. If its down to the gum/root and its hurting to breath or drink water you should get help soon. Regardless of the outcome, the tooth stuff is everyday procedure for all dentists, youll be taken care of. Sucks that it was so random, but were all rooting for you. (see what i did there)

50 states and Skate Across America are both endurance epics, but have you ever thought about doing a single day marathon just to see how far you can skate before you can’t go any further? Picturing a 38 hour day, night, day where you log 200 miles.
