Yeah she was awesome. I noticed the generational difference - she wanted a map with his photo and his ‘autograph’. Everyone else wants a selfie. That map will be framed on her wall till the day she passes. I love that.

Daniel must be the only one on the trip so far that didn't ask for a picture... 😂
The Amish gentleman who is looking at you , like what in the world is with this guy? That has been my favorite interaction so far. Second favorite interaction, the gentleman rocking the ANIMAL CHIN t-shirt. And shout out to the $102. Couple, the plastic deer in someone's front yard that didnt understand what "YO!" Meant. And ❤ to all the Swifties you skated through in Nashville.

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!

I have spoken to the Amish about skateboarding and they are pretty amazed by it. Explaining how an ollie works was pretty cool. They also really appreciated the half-pipe I built. I think they are partially amazed when the "english" work with their hands and aren't in cars.

So true. Makes me happy to be from Virginia seeing how sweet and awesome everyone is.
What a session! Gail and her man are straight-up skate fam. Daniel was way cool too. Today’s episode filled my heart with joy. Keep pushing, stay safe.
The elderly couple are so kind. This entire journey shows the best in humanity. Keep pushing Chad! Not too far to go bro
“Might need to bag up “has a whole new meaning these days😂😂😂
Damn man you tripped out the amish dude! Thats probably rare seeing how they’re the ones usually perplexing people. Needed to hear the letting it go lesson today bro. Struggle with that issue heavily. 5 weeks no alcohol. Thank you.
My goodness that old couple warmed me up inside. Such kind people you've met ❤
I’m saddened this is going to end. I’ll be watching whatever you end up doing next. Thanks chad.
That sweet elderly couple had me tearing up ngl
when you've impressed an amish guy, you know you have done a lot of work
No shoulder, on coming traffic, downhill, wet roads, no grip on shoe. Nobody. Absolutely, nobody. Only Chad Caruso.
Zen and the art of skateboarding
Wheels on a plank bringing people of all shapes and sizes together. Incredible.
Wow few minutes in and that older couple is making me tear up. So beautiful how they came out to support and printed a map out and everything. So awesome to see everyone who comes and supports you.
Yep, the elderly couple hit me right in the feels. Finally caught up with the uploads after being two weeks late to the party. I'm totally amazed by your mindset and just how positive and selfless you are. Do you meditate by any chance? I used to be so bad and just reacting to stuff and holding on to negative stuff so the stuff you say really hits home. Nearly there now, keep it up.
Huge respect for the elderly couple showing the love and respect!❤
That older couple brought tears to my eyes. People support you and care about you from all ages all over thE country, keep on keeping on brother
the couple at the beginning were great. everyday this gives me a little more faith in humanity.
Chad I just want to say… it’s videos like yours that give me hope in humanity . So awesome to see all the people that show up to encourage you along and that just want to be a part of your journey, so rad man, God bless you!
Chad I am in awe of you. The elderly couple was so cool. Stay safe Sweety.😊❤
Chad this is amazing. Seeing your editing get smoother, more barebones, chilled out, along with you yourself seemingly getting more and more chilled out ... Especially when swapping back. Very keen to see you do a review afterwards. Maybe even a couple weeks or months after, to throw some hindsight on this trip. Lastly, it really does feel like we came along for the ride with ya. Very awesome. Huge fan.
The first older couple literally warmed my heart
I wish Werner Herzog knew about this, he would literally be making a documentary about your incredible adventure, Chad. Beautiful video.
Just lost my cat today and the ipod story talked to me. Safe travels chad it’s been a joy watching your journey.

You have been sharing quite some serious thoughts with us during the whole journey. I think we all can learn a lot from you, not just your endurance but your attitude towards things in life. Keep it up Chad, you are almost there! You got this!
Dude the elderly couple, so wholesome!
That senior couple is golden! Stoked
Man... such a cool way to meet people and see the country. I'm always struck by how amazing and impactful it is to see simple acts of kindness between people. Stay safe and have fun brother!
No matter the adventure in the end it always comes down to the people you meet along the way. 🙏 Wet grip, that's rough. Respect the push in those conditions.

The older couple was such a surprise. For them to come out and see you they must of had a pretty good reason. More than just to say good luck and give you a few charms. They must really feel something more than the usual fan. And that Amish guy was completely blown away on your choice to travel on a skateboard across America. I bet he tells the whole community about meeting you. He'll be talking about you for days. 🎉
That old couple were so cool
Been loving all the interactions with folks from Virginia. We are such an awesome state. Makes me proud to be from Virginia.
wow, the kind hearts I have seen from these videos are awesome. that older couple had me tearing up! so cool they support skating and what you are doing. reminds me of my grand parents. they are the best.

Don't wanna be rude but David Blaine is a fake illusionist. Look into filmmaker Werner Herzog, he's the kind of man that would be making a documentary about this if he knew about it. He's the only filmmaker in human history to make a feature length film on all 7 continents on earth.
What a sweet couple! Safe pushing on this last stretch chad!
"Just do a fifty-miler, let my body recuperate :-))"
Massive balls! The oncoming semi truck😮
Broo that lady was sooo sweet😭
SHOUT OUT THOSE OLD FOLKS
Yo!!!!! I couldn’t agree with you more. “Let it go” it’s funny because when I do that I get told I’m “to nice” or “letting people walk all over me” but what it comes down to at the end of the day. Is knowing you try to be the best human being you can. Sometimes that means making sacrifices for peace of mind and just “let it go” ✊
8:03 OMG... 8:23 Thank You, God!
i skate around philly a lot and think it’s far, i can’t even imaging skating across america!! you are so amazing!!!
Chad you're a wonderful soul.. it really shows in all the lives you've touched. Idk how you keep your composure especially with that elder couple, beyond your obvious inner and outer strength cuz here I am watching and tearing up 🥲 love it dude so wonderful
Following this journey everyday has been a gem.
2:23 COOLEST COUPLE OF THE TRIP! GOALS!

The older couple was so wholesome. That was some sketchy riding you did that day! Definitely scary with no shoulder.
Watching this has touched my heart in so many ways. This is an epic joinery
Awesome! Chad got a fairy stone. A pebble worth saving🤙
Gale and her husband are my two favorite people so far and im only 1:30 into this video.
I Think the amish are the real winners here
Caught you on the 9 club and found you to be so inspiring. Not even just this incredible feat, but as a human being. Thanks dude.
The carriage would have been an epic skitch.
Great people, such kindness. Those hills!!!! 4:00 minute mark!!!!
The longest trip to walking over 12 hours of a great place in Pennsylvania!
Okay first off that was the sweetest interaction ever(you all know). But Chad you are using the same technique we would employ for cutting weight for wrestling. Put on the hefty and do cardio! I’m surprised you’re not sweating more honestly 😂
It’s still hope in this world it’s awesome to see all the kind peoples you are meeting on the way . This what we should show the world and not the negative and crazy things that we are custom to see all over news, social media etc .. Thank you 🙏
For real, tear jerker on the advanced level people. ❤
Glad I could witness this amazing drive of human perseverance
Lmao the omish guy, love it. Never know what kinda person you’re gonna run into on this trip
When your mode of travel is more amish than the amish...😅
I think I found you at day 44 the motivation you give me to go out and practice skateboarding everyday and just be a more positive person is so refreshing man.
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 👏👏👏
Shout out Virginia!❤ So much gold in these interactions, and the moments in between ..as many have already mentioned, I look forward to your videos so much every morning, and I will be so bummed when your trip is over.. 🐄🐮🐄
Here we go baby, you're on the home stretch! Three or four more days and you're there!
