I know right? Sadly, it’s just not a smart thing to do though and I hope she doesn’t do it often. There’s always going to be evil people out there preying on the kindness of others. Sucks that we live in a world where extending empathy or compassion comes with such risk. The last few times I’ve tried to help a stranger out have all ended badly for me and made me regret doing it. Thankfully, they were just the scam artist types trying to take advantage of me financially and really only ended in wasted time and effort but there could definitely be worse consequences for a woman picking up a random dude in the middle of nowhere. Still though, props to her for being a genuinely kind person.

My favorite part is all the kind strangers you encounter on the road, willing to help a total stranger with water, snacks, lunch, even to join in on a ride. Even offering a ride even though you tell them you’re doing it all by skateboard, the offer is appreciated. This is America! Keep it up.

Every day I pass this map in my office and I find where you are in the country. You really are cutting right to the halfway mark, at least West to East. If you’re a little short mileage wise it’s probably some of the miles it’ll take to get North to VA. But it’s so cool seeing that you can literally get across the country on a board like this. Agree: smooth ground is much more of a must have than no wind. Rough ground on my 80a wheels still feels rough and runs right through your bones to your head. Any of these motels been just awful? I can imagine there’s some meager accommodations in some of the more remote parts. Looking forward to see what conditions the roads and towns have once you get toward more populated areas East of DFW and Oklahoma.

A few months ago, I skated from New Smyrna, Florida to Orlando FL. It was like exactly 60 miles also. Took me 9.5 hours. I think I just slept the two days after that. This is amazing what you are doing here Chad Caruso. I had read a little bit about long distance skating but I think at the moment there aren't to many of us out there. I've certainly felt like a loner, but the level of freedom and confidence in my ability to traverse the concrete jungles has been one of the best, most profound experiences of my life. And you are doing 60 mikes, day after day. This is so amazing bro! You're are basically a self made super hero. Nothing but respect coming from me. I was planning to go coast to coast about 150 miles here in Florida. Come to find you're skating the whole country, 🤯 madness! I really want to figure out how long distance skating can grow into something bigger, I want in on this skate cross states mischief. You sir are now legend 💪. I'm so stoked on this now. Caruso shows us the way, on a kids toy! I am truly humbled this ...
