People should sign your board along the way. Let them know to buy you a paint marker.

Thats awesome man!

Let's go!

Killing it brother!

Great job! Best thing to remember is that you win one day at a time.

This is the way my dude

I know his reaction was priceless lol "i can skate to cali from here?!" Lmaooo

Cool guy, awesome reaction!

Surly a moment either of them will be soon to forget, if ever. That said, gotta give credit where credit is due, and considering the roughly 8k miles it took him to migrate from Sudan to Texas to be there; might’ve been more amazed by the overall logistics involved (or that it’s even possible to do) in skateboarding coast to coast. Which, in taking into account each of their journeys up until that point, where they cross paths essentially because of a useless wooden toy must’ve been an utterly mind blowing experience.

Shit he’s opening my mind as well

Boy are you right I live in California and its it feels like that sometimes everyday almost, you could go weeks without encountering a nice real person. Ive went months where every interaction is almost negative or just bad.

@@TRAVIESO_NA as I’ve gotten older I have learned to just let those negative people just exist and do their own thing. I just do my best to avoid the ones that I can and the ones that I can’t. I just kind treat them as if they’re like something that you wouldn’t listen too. In one ear and out the other. I used to try to help them but I learned that I end up just being pulled down with them. So I learned to just let them be negative but I keep away. I don’t know if I’m explaining myself the way I intended but that’s what works for me. I guess in other words I focus on what’s going to elevate me emotionally and spiritually. My goal is to sleep well at night and feel like the sun is shining on my face everyday.

if you can learn to slowly progress correctly fear should almost never come in play - that goes for anything - I love to do all sorts of dangerous activities - and ive learned that they all can be done in a safe manner - go slow , practice lots, and have fun

​@@chyeaOGKushthanks! Appreciate the encouragement! I can go....kick turn...stop...I just have major hill fear. Small steps. I can actually start with small grades.....yes! Thanks

I'm 59 female and took up longboards about 10 years ago. Chad is inspiring to me, too. When I'm out pushing and fear comes upon me, I think of Chad riding over huge rocks, cracks, and stuff. I tell myself that more speed is better to ride over rocks. The guy has no clue how he's inspiring people.

Tip for mastering hills: start from the bottom, not the top. walk up from the bottom until a spot you feel safe riding down from and then go a bit higher every time. always wear protection and don't feel stupid sitting down on your board if something is really too steep or fast for you, not everybody needs to be a crazy hill bomber. be safe and have fun

@@benitofranklyn4237 thanks, good advice

I had to pay him back for all the trick tips over the years!

🤘🤘

Same!

Bees are incredibly vital. Everyone can have a positive impact by being selfless and not always thinking of themself. Bees are the epitome of selflessness.
