Seriously some of the best content on KZread right now. You’re literally living the adventure of a lifetime. I’ve seen a lot of guys traverse insane courses on motorbikes but this is stepping up the game, skating over the roughest roads and keeping your chin up the whole way…awesome

The yooooo …. What up. To all the animals is my favorite part of the series 😂😂😂

Shout out the homie with that shaped board realest skater we’ve seen so far

Another great episode! I love that the vegan guy brought you plant based jerky because I'm sure he knows you love Slim Jims and that's about the closest vegan thing he could get. People are awesome and this series is really highlighting that. So much love from strangers and subscribers, it's all love out there.

Honestly this is one of the most mine blowing facts. The amount of support and people that are just stopping asking for rides?! Social media would make you think that in America every other person is going to rob him or run him over or cuss him out.

Having an audience of some sort is not inherently a bad thing. Some people succumb to the pressure but it seriously can drive you toward excellence in one way or another. It could be cleaning up before company comes or putting on a better shirt when you expect to speak at a meeting that day. The self-improvement that comes with maintaining a KZread channel is very very similar and if you let it, it can be life changing.

This is something I fought with when it comes to skating. Making skate videos is a part of skating but making IG clips seems like indulgence in the ego. But sometimes the camera there, the people rooting you on all push you the extra step.

Like Mr.Beast.

It’s amazing how these day long skate sessions put you in an almost psychedelic mindset. Getting self reflective and realizing your flaws while recognizing your growth. Good stuff Chad! Getting high on life!

Will try that Texas bbq vegan jerky - T.Y. f/rec'. : )

I went for my first push today in about 10 years. My legs and back were screaming but it was worth it. I just went around town for an hour or so. Wouldn't have done it without seeing your videos. Cheers dude

I love the physical journey that he’s doing, but I think my favorite parts of every video thus far has been the mental journey Chad goes thru, and his like thought of the day while skating he breaks down. Even if it’s something completely random and not relatable exactly, the message and conclusion is always very relatable.

KZread has helped me with my depression. I have a unique lifestyle with a lot of a free time. A blessing, but a curse because idle hands do the work of the devil - as they say. KZread, having a creative outlet and learning to make videos at age 45 has provided me with the most happy and emotional 2 years of my life. My channel grows like molasses, but i make shit I love. I make my own art and whether it’s good or not doesn’t matter. Your journey here is remarkable! A lot of people bullshit about turning a corner in their life, a change for the better- Chad brother it’s all over your face 🤙🏽 mega inspiration and love from Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤. 🏄🏼

The route changes… I love how chill you are about it.

I've been watching from the start, and every day that you put up the new video, I have wondered if today will be the day when everything goes bad, you lose your drive, you question why you're doing this, you lose hope, etc. I don't know how to say this exactly, but the fact that you simply do not do that, you are always pushing forward with this unbreakable positive drive has affected me, and I know it's done the same for countless other people watching this. I no longer expect you to falter or quit, now I just think how grateful I am to watch you go on with a strong heart and free of doubt and fear. You are changing lives with this journey. Thank you, Chad.

Every time you say “yo, whaddup” to an animal, makes me laugh. And I mean, every time!! Amazing journey man. I joined at day 49 and I’m rapidly binging them all so I can watch your finishing videos as you post them. Inspiring stuff on every level.

1:50 JD, seems like a chill dude, if he is like that everyday I envy him. Keep it up!

Chad we're watching your progress man and we're in awe of you.

Every day's an adventure out on the road! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing trip with us! Just the skating would be hard enough, but you're also making excellent videos and uploading them along the way. the filming and editing make it so much harder! You rock! 😀

8:35 Props 💯. That's what life is about, Growth. Not perfection but raising the bar and challenging yourself.

The mileage you put on daily, repeatedly and so nonchalantly is amazing. I’ve skated street for 35 years and push a good distance frequently but DAMN!

Duke those trailers ripping by... nuts. Keep crushing it brother!

Wow, the hill bomb bit with old mate was like 1 of them simulator rides for a second!!! Keep.pushing.Chad

You're like Indiana Jones with that hat, love it!

glad you're hitting your gofundme goal people are really supporting you heavy

One can start getting the Peter Paul and Mary feeling; traveling across the freedoms still alive, and it shows ❤

Enjoyed the thoughts on KZread. I am a process person and not an artistic person. I had never filmed r edited or even skated for that matter and I went all in. It has been an incredible learning experience through my 40s.

you can get dried mango covered in chili powder at all healthy grocery stores. its so damn good!

"Not exactly Jerky." Lol. Keep pushin', Bro!! I'm headed to the grand opening of a dope, new indoor skatepark in Albany, New York with a wooden bowl.... So stoked to skate!!

Thank you for that info about the new sk8 park in Albany.

Found out about your trip last week. Its become a must watch. Love seeing the scenery. Id like to see longer videos but its probably a pain to edit them as it is.

Im quite simply bloody well enjoying this daily dose of stoic pushing and sharing... Croftee uk

Seeing the fans run up and interact with their inspiration is inspirational! 🎉

Bro, you passed through my hometown. I grew up in Sheridan, AR. Love your videos and series. Wish I would have been able to meet you!

All of a sudden there are more people boarding around my spot. It’s cool. Keep it up brah! Chaaaaa!

I like that we're seeing your food stops

Can't get enough of the cows chasing you, so funny. I haven't skated in 30 years or so, you definitely caught my attention with your crazy cool skate across America trip. I hope nothing but the best for you, keep up your fantastic attitude brother, cheers.

This is my wake and bake now, 9 days no flower, no nicotine. But its raining all week. Currently chilling at 11566. Keep going bro, stay aober bro, grabbin life by the balls.

Great content. Thanks again. Still waitting for that baseball sized hail!

I don't know if anyone is noticing the amount of dollar stores in these towns. You're documenting important stuff man. Things change so fast. In just five years some of those places won't be there. Great work!🤘🤘👍

One thing I've noticed in my travels is that you can find a Dollar General in the smallest of towns and many other near-desolate locations.

That brand of fruit jerky is great. Its more like a fruit mashed into a small portion . I love the mango drizzled with cacao. Stay strong 💪 ❤

So you are traveling up on 79 to Memphis? I'll be sure to take that road on my way back home to Texas tomorrow. I was hoping to see you on Thursday on 67. But by the time I was driving through the town you were in, I don't think you started your day yet at 8am.😅

It really puts it into perspective when you said you hadnt had pizza in 30+ days. I wonder what your ideal comfort/relaxation would be after the trip!

Hell, yeah man! keep it up. Bones should sponsor your ass

Every day you get to meet cool people

Hey 👋 good luck. I just heard about you from your friend Josh on my flight from NY. We just landed in Memphis Good luck 👍🏻🍀

I agree that a month is too long without a slice of za.

Looked like a decent slice for the middle of nowhere Arkansas!

Thank you for repping Moral Law!

Uncle Henry’s bbq is a great place to eat just before pine bluff the bbq nachos were hard to beat

Keep on truckin' Chad

Still not sure which you are better at, human interaction or animal interaction, probably both. I think a lot of us can relate to you and are for sure feeling this journey along with you. I know I'm not the only one who's day instantly gets better with each video.

what a wholesome shark wheel mans

Legend!

That lady will hear about you on the news and think, I saw him and didn't even say Yo!

Spicy mango is great if you can find it.. . Keep skating!

I bought those adidas, Chad. They are so Cush. Keep up the great work.

I was waiting for a score on the pizza. One bit every1 knows the rules, Dave style.

Rolling, rolling, rolling.

You go bro
