    I was walking through San fran once while my friend was trying to skate hills. A shorter man stopped me because he liked my shirt. Said "Hey I like your shirt" . I ignore him thinking (Don't talk to strangers) He repeats what he said louder, & touches my shoulder. First time hearing of, and meeting the famous Animal " Emerson " Chin. He took me on a tour of the area, and showed me where he had ate with famous skaters. Gifted me 3 bags of fortune cookies from his familys hole in the wall shop in some alley way. Gave me his card, & I later found out that I had just completed the real life, skate version, of wheres waldo. I will never forget it!

    Just caught up with the videos of your journey from across the pond here in the UK, and wanted to say,”wow”! Your inspiration and positivity reaches far and wide my friend ! What you are achieving is nothing short of remarkable and the love and enthusiasm you get from the guys who meet you on the way is so cool! Good luck for the final part of your epic adventure! All hail the “King of the Cows”, Chad Caruso 👏👏👏
