Jesus talking: Matthew 11:28-30 [28]Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29]Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30]For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Take care my friend.. Jesus Christ set me free, and please believe me, I was almost Dead spiritually talking. I use to be a very well known bartender in my place. He is waiting for you and He loves you. You can only win.

@@loudd I'm really so sorry to hear this. death is just terrible. But sadly, we are all appointed to die one day, the other way or another. I also don't go to church since Year's. Its full of false prophets that only want your money. I took my personal destress to Him, and Jesus heard my cry. We have to put Him first in our lives, a personal relationship and obey He's commandments, and i promise, your prayers will be heard. Don't listen to any pastor or whatsoever.. seek Him talk to Him alone in the middle of the night, for Jesus said = Jeremiah 29:13 [13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart ) Everything that happens in live is for a reason. I wish you all the best for you life and love one's. Ps I'm 44 years old and i started skating on January this year, threw inspiration from skaters and as well threw Chad. The point is, we can't choose how we look, or our skincolor, or where was I born, rich or poor.... The important thing is how will you cross the finish line. Ok enough from me, thanks for reading, and please believe you can take it all to Him, the King of Glory, our Creator, Who can know you better then Him ? He that created you? And He is calling you. You can only win ! Nothing to lose. Take care ✨

I recently moved from Venice Beach to Virginia Beach, so this journey has hit home for me. A few weeks ago I lost a very good friend of mine from Venice. Maria, a skateboarder, never owned a car. And seeing this journey reminded me that I had an old set of wheels and trucks of Maria's. So I bought a deck, put on her equipment, and have started skating again. I don't know how Chad avoids bailing on the cracks and rocks like I do! I'm sure Chad will end his trip at the Neptune statue; an iconic place in VB to end an epic journey. See you there!

I got back into it at 43 after 31 years off. Skaters on KZfaq (especially Chad) have been showing me how much there is to try and enjoy in skating and it has been so rewarding to see what I can do with my own ability even starting with so little skill at a non-traditional age to be progressing. He has me wondering if I should be trying to get into long distance rides.

I wasn’t sure if I should go travel or not but since I’m watching your vids every day you keep me motivated and now I have made my decision to go. Life is soo much more enjoyable while you’re on the go and meeting new people (my opinion). And even if I get older and more anxious sometimes , I need to live in the present moment and go for it. The thing I want the most is being on the road and meeting new people so let’s do it and don’t overthink it. Cheers dude!!!
