This series has inspired me so much with your story of addiction, I decided on day 5 of your trip that I was going to quit nicotine and valued now I am 38 days strong off of nicotine and I want to thank you for that. Taking it one day at a time that’s all we can do. Keep it goin, keep pushing.

@racerx3669

Just constantly remind yourself you don’t actually want it. Sounds like you made it through the worst. I was drinking a lot of 100% juice when I quit. It was thought to maybe help your body adjust to regulating your blood sugar. Supposedly the nicotine will regulate it if you use it. The night I quit I decided when I went to bed I was done. I woke up and still agreed. But out of habit I lit a ciggy when I got into my truck for work. I flicked it out the window, and never smoked again. Gave my pack away. I still went on smoke breaks with the smokers. I just didn’t smoke ciggies. It’s easy now. I dreamt I was sneaking drags. I dreamt I was still smoking.

Those dudes that all met up with him on the street were so rad! I’m in my 30s and i still feel like a kid when I’m skateboarding or even talking skateboarding with someone. Those guys all reverted back to 12 years old for a minute there and it is beautiful.

I can't beleive you went right through all that madness of the T Swift crowd! I would not have been surprised if you skated into the concert and popped out on stage!

I get pumped when people meet you, their enthusiasm is remarkable and pure LOVE! Did you really skate through a bunch of "Swifties" in downtown? BRILLIANT! And today's bonus , a DEER! "Yo!"

Thank you for stopping and talking to the mom this day. I'm sure everything is tough on her so I appreciate you taking the time.

The grey beards coming in with the motivation 💯. PUSH

This was a really great day. A rural skatepark, filmed by a mom, the madhouse of Nashville, a path through the forest, another skatepark, filming another skater, and hyped supporters all along the way. Surreal. You'll get some hills before Knoxville for sure. The hilly area you went through before Nashville is the western rim of a basin. Around Carthage / Gordonsville, you'll be at the eastern edge of that basin and climbing back out. It will be hilly.

Nice one. Downtown Nashville was hopping, crazy.

This journey is incredible. Thanks for bringing us with you Chad. Making a lot of us want to get out there and push ourselves!

That’s how I’m trying to be with my friends when we’re older😂 imagine you and the boys 40 years old each having there own mini ramps and still skating together sick asf! And W mom for noticing you and talking about her son talking about you!

I love how skating really brings people together and allows you to meet anyone and feel like you've known them a while. Looks like an amazing trip

Hey man I been watching your whole trip I missed you when u came through phx u passed 2 or 3 miles down the street I just want you to know I'm recently got into recovery about the same time u started so what your doing has given me much inspiration I think its amazing and wana just thank you for what you do how do I donate to you and your trip ...good luck keep your chaging life's man that's major

Americans are so amazing. Look how stoked and ready to help these people are

I started a new job in Brooklyn today after 6 months of chillin on unemployment being a bum. I skated to work in the morning and realized most of my trip back was going to be uphill (2.5 miles). I didn't feel like pushing home but thought of you, and this trip, and full sent it and pushed uphill home. Gotta get that endurance back. Now if I could only fall at sleep at a reasonable time without a 40 oz. The plan was to stop drinking by the time your trip was done. I'm trying... 😅

I'm already sad that it's nearly over. Every morning I get to work and watch you with my admin lady. She looks forward to it even though she knows nothing about skating

Great episode, love your interactions with people and animals! Honestly your videos have been a highlight of this spring. Keep pushing!

“ I get better responses from cows” 😂 quote of the day 👊

The commitment to keep writing those Wheels till the end might be the gnarliest part of this entire thing. Flat spotted wheels are really tough to ride.

I'm so happy every day when I watch your progress on this great journey. Your dedication is amazing, and your filming is wonderful to watch, but your wheels fill me with anxiety! It would be cool to ride them the whole way, but PLEASE change them! 😀

Your a living legend Chad Caruso. Thanks for showing the world what dedication and discipline can accomplish.

broooo, the whole crew ol OG skaters that pulled up on you are such a vibe.

“Other than that, felling pretty good.” Every obstacle is just something to pass for him. He no longer gets stuck. Dude is like a low key superhero.

Every time I see those wheels, I crack up!

Fun episode! So many great days. Still excited to wake up and watch the next video. I love that you are taking time out to interact with people, those are some of my favorite parts of the videos.

let’s get this man to 100k before the end of his trip 🙏🏼

It's so nice seeing people going to the route to catch up with you... this is awesome 💎

hey chad, this is one of the best parts of your skate tour so far. great people who support you in what you accomplish. It's good to see positive people like you keep their will and power. stay healthy and as inspiring as you are.

Man this is so heartwarming. The skate community is so tight. Thanks for doing this Chad!

I look forward to these videos everyday, they get better every time, you’re a great sport Chad! More of this from everyone would be a step in the right direction

I love Skateboarding! Awesome to find this!

Such a rad thing to be doing. I read Peter Jenkins' "A Walk Across America" and "Walk West" when I was in high school back in 92. Since then these types of endeavors have always been captivating and doing it on a board is something I've always dreamed of. Just didn't have the means or determination, living thru you bro! Keep pushin!

Never thought of a city as a terrain to over come. You got this!!

That’s so awesome seeing you turn down all the stuff everyone offers you, humble people are hard to come by. Good luck on your journey man be safe!

Maybe my fav vid of the journey so far, so many different terrains, peeps, skateparks - love it! How insane is it Chad skated from La to Nashville already...nuts! Keep going Chad💪

Brother please keep going! We are rooting for you .frankly it's such an amazing feat that you are doing.keep at it brother! We believe in you!!

So cool to see the terrain and landscape change as you make your way across the country.

Im 36 and just picked up my board again for the first time since snapping my knee 10 years ago. Its the best thing Ive done with myself and other than taking it more easy these days im fitter and healthier than ive been in ages. I can't ever seeing me quitting again! Full respect bro! New subscriber here.

I think this was my favorite episode. Amazing places, views, skateparks and people

I am so lucky to be a Virginia local to see this guy pull up to Jackalope fest AND Andy Anderson.

Change the wheels. Your safety and enjoyment.

11 to Roanoke would be safer than the back roads through VA. Your r route goes right by the summer camp where I worked, and there are tons of steep and windy blind curves. as much as I’d love to see the place on your channel, I’d prefer to see you finish safely. VA40 is good though, and it goes right by my parents place.

YOOOO! Love the shot with the chunked wheels seemingly rotating backwards on film as you cruise.

So cool your doing this. I been skateboarding for 30 years and it's my life. Be safe out there.

When those guys rolled up in the group I was expecting it to be teenagers but it’s a bunch of grown ass men😂😂 so good. Keep the dream alive boys!
