    Apparently, Chad Caruso set the Guinness world record as the first person to skateboard across America in 2023, from Venice Beach to Virginia Beach. It took him 57 days to cover 3,162 miles, adventure adventure of 55 miles a day.

      Rob Thomson skated across the US starting in 2006. Also from Switzerland to China.

      I have a photo from that trip handing up poster size in my house. A random waterfall panorama.

      That’s actually not nearly as long as I would’ve expected. Pretty impressive.

          He kicked the mountains and then flipped them off, they felt so disrespected they moved north and waited until he had passed them.

        My guess is that hitchhiking+skateboarding means grabbing an actual moving trailer hitch or three. Were he manually kicking the pavement with zero assistance, I cannot imagine covering 55 miles a day without it being downhill the entire time. After all, it is F L A T after you cross the Rockies. For at least a thousand miles. That or he has legs like tree trunks.
