99% of proceeds go to the No Fap foundation. Did anyone on road offer a hand … ha
I've been following you for the last couple of years. Even started skating again at 47 years old (49 now). I hit the skatepark at least once a week. Have been through the roller coaster of addiction, and wear the 12-step t-shirt purchased through your merch with pride. This vlog series has to be my favorite of them all! Grassroot America!
This has been the best thing on KZread in like forever. Going to miss hanging out watching Chad go through the motions.
3 more days. Were going to miss your video adventure when it ends but delighted that it's been a total success. 👍🏼

100%. Chad’s videos of this trip has become my daily routine. As soon as I see the upload, it’s break time and I sit and watch the video. Some friends and I are going to have a marathon watching party when Chad’s done. We’re gonna all sit down and watch the entire trip.

Almost two months since I quit smoking. Inspiring Journey skating for a healthier lifestyle. Add to that the pearls of wisdom shared along the way. Thank you! 2 Keep it up!
Thanks Chad, you've been a huge source of inspiration after starting back skating in 2020 at 34. And tbh most of the reason I finally learned feeble fakie. Thank you for what you bring to the skateboarding community. Shoot me what size deck you usually ride and I will send you one of my boards. Thanks again, Chad. Keep pushing, Tyler
One of my favorite parts about this series is your evolution as a leader of cows nationwide 😂

I love this ...and I love tour heads stories on his channel too...I love seeing tour head comment on this !
I love your interactions with everyone, thanks for representing skateboarders so well Chad!! Keep up the great work 🤙👊🔥
You stuck with the wheels and they held up. I'm glad you didn't change them now.
Stoked for you to be nearing the end. I rode a bicycle across America in 2012 and the final day was absolutely surreal. Enjoy it partner.

Hell yeah man. Gotta ask how did it affect your perception of biking to get somewhere as apposed to taking a vehicle?
@philosofinch9091

@@zackarychristian9489 that's a really interesting question. Made me adopt the mentality that TECHNICALLY everywhere is walkable/bikable; some better than others. I also grew an appreciation for life at 15 mph. Ya tend to speed by everything in a vehicle so you don't have an opportunity to notice or experience the little things; like getting chased by a herd of cows. I've definitely become less car centric and adopted a multi modal approach to life. Hope that answers.
It's so amazing to see you so close to the goal. I've looked forward to watching your videos every day and I'm so pleased for you in what you have achieved. God bless you Chad! Woop woop!
Hey brother, would be awesome if you went live on your arrival to Virginia Beach so all your fans can congratulate you. There is a lot of us that weren’t able to visit with you live and interact with you. Just an idea! 👊🤓
Man, your updates have become a soothing part of my day's rhythm. All the best for the home stretch! Can't believe you've managed this on the one set of wheels, so good!
Chad, can we *PLEASE* do a LIVE event Friday while you are rolling? PLEASE!!!!! Be safe brother!

Yes to this!
Ive been checking in on and off since day 12 and as a skater at 31 who is having trouble coming back from a ACL replacement, your mission is very inspiring as an aging skater(hard to say ex but kinda at this point). Youre a genuine human and deserve all the fruits of ur labor. respect.
‘I’ll still be pushing myself’ is a rad way to sum it up
Wavy tv 10. Grew up in Virginia and I remember watching that news station every morning. Va Beach here we come. Lets gooooooooo
I binged all these at 1.5x speed this weekend, and just could not resist finding a skateboard. After many years off the board I got a steal on craigslist... IMMEDIATELY ate concrete! About to turn 30 but that felt great!
It's crazy to think that you're about to start the final day as I type this. Thanks for all the good things you've brought light to along the way. You're a true hero, Chad.
When y'all are done watching this series make sure to check out Paul Kent and Adam Colton's long treks on skate decks series. Chad props to you for joining the distance skate community. Looking forward to your finish in VB
Around 7:58 there is an angel in the clouds watching you 👊🤠
The amount of positivity accumulated along this journey may just save us all. Chad you're a national treasure my dude.

Hes still alive and still wearing black. Keep trucking u crazy bastard. 👍

I have watched every day since day one. You should go live as you are coming in on your last mile. Great job! You are an Inspiration and I hope you keep this up!

Ted talk? Nine Club? You rawk Chad! Awesome!
I'm going to be sad when it's over. Watching these videos has been my daily wake up routine for 2 months
Alright Chad I can’t live without these videos so Ima need you to head back the same way
Been loving this everyday, bittersweet that its coming to end. Next up, Skating Across America, going north.
Just wanted to let you know. These videos have led me to seeking treatment for alcohol abuse. I said “ this dude can skate across the US, I can get treatment!” Thank you
Holy shit. I don't believe this is it. I started as a casual follower of the channel, but this road trip is INSANE. Only skaters have this... the chunky wheels kill me... yes Chad.
Amazing journey so far! Get this man more followers!!!Sending love from Canada 🇨🇦
5:41 the frames line up with the fence looks so sick
I really wanted to see you at the finish line but I’ll be at work. Stoked for you finishing this journey!! You’re awesome
Loved how the goat gave you the shoutout! Baaa! Yo!
Best series on KZread ever
WAVY 10 is a pretty big local station. Airing your story will pump the turnout when you get to VA Beach! Almost there man!
It's so true with all the negative that comes up daily on our social media and also the news is so divisive and toxic. It does not represent reality and most people are nice and want to help.
This shows that u can do anything if u put your mind to it you are an inspiration to me. Keep it up!! You are a legend!
I’m gonna miss watching these updates on my lunch break!
Keep PUUUUSHHHINNN!!!! Chad you rock!!!
Dude so stoked for you and so happy to have watched you since day 1.
Just wanted to say Thank You before you finish this mammoth task. Your journey has also helped transform MY life, simply by showing me that no matter how sh**ty the sidewalk is, there is always a good time to be had on a skateboard. These small bits of wood we all love can help anyone who lets them evlove into someone better. You've helped me see this even more & opened up my world. I will where your T-shirts with pride on as many skate trips as possible!!❤❤❤🛹🛹🛹
Gonna be sad when it ends, but gonna catch up on those I missed when it does. Thanks for the inspiration and entertainment
That board belongs in a museum after this.
I would like to see a documentary when this is done. See the pros and cons of you inspiring more people.
Just one more "50-50" Chad. Grind it out, bro. You got this. Peace!
Looking forward to the scene of every skater in Virginia Beach doing the last few miles with Chad and a motorcade
God bless you Chad. My thoughts and prayers are with you all along especially through the home stretch!
I love that that woman stopped to see if you needed a lift. This series renews your faith in people. Great stuff.
maybe next go state by state from 1 side to the other side of the state BUT have a different guest FOR each state skate with you?
The really quiet yo got me🤣 And the goat yo🤣🤣
Proud to say I watched everyday!

Man! I haven't watched KZread videos DAILY ever I think... I support your cause and dream I'll miss the videos but I'm stoked to see what you have in store next!!!
Chad Caruso = C2C = Sea 2 Sea or, in other words, "Coast 2 Coast"
You are going to blow up homie I had a great time watching this let’s finish it up all the cows will be there waiting
I hope lots of new folks came over from Thrasher and are following your journey now!
Loving these videos in virginia . Makes me proud to be from Virginia. all the people are nice and the scenery is beautiful.
I don't know why but its hilarious when he says "Yooo" and the animals are just straight chilling hahaha
The Waves break in the opposite direction in Virginia than California
God I truly hope there is just a bunch of kids waiting near the end that just push along side you - that home stretch!
Wow, last 100 miles. Chad is a trooper!
This is awesome man, You're way ahead of schedule! Jakalope is still 2 weeks away!
I hope the last episode is a bit longer than the others. This has been an amazing journey. America rules! Chad is a legend… you’re literally up there with animal chin at this point!
You’re getting so close!!! Go go go!!!
Actually such an incredible journey!! What an incredible experience
LET'S GOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! crushin it Chad!!!
Lady in the van was an absolute vibe
Following your adventure really restores my faith in humanity. It's so nice to see so many people being nice and helpful
Yes Chad! Once more day man!!!!!
YO! almost there woooooooo go chad!
Much respect 🙏 the mental discipline..... hands down 😮
Almost at the finish line 🏁🛹
This is it man!!! Tomorrow is the day!
I really want to see you skate into the sea at the end. Well excited for you finishing. Imagine you’ll be having dreams after about rolling past farmland for a while after :D
Most people are not out of their mind enough to do this but if they did the chances of them quitting or hurting themself or hit by a car! Dude, never underestimate what you are about to accomplish brother!
Anyone else concerned that yesterday's video has not been loaded yet?
I would be ecstatic to wear a different outfit and sleep in my own bed. Thank you for bringing us on this amazing journey! It's been way rad and can't wait to see you cross the finish line!
wow, just wow! 100 left, what a journey. it'll be emotional for all of us watching to see you make it there. Legend.
Truth be told. Epic.
Sk8 on dude!
This is such an amazing series .
To those that are going to Neptune park.. make a plywood walkway across the beach to the waters edge. Maybe put a quarter at the end.

Ha ha. That would be rad to end the journey by doing an air into the ocean. That set up has already been soaked through rain anyway. Good way to end it.
Heck YEAH!!! Almost there. SALUTE
DO IT IN A DAY BRO! You got it.
The final push coming up! 🤠❤️🐸🥳👈
When Chad is done he will have Buns of Steel.
Great work Chad. You are repping well. Are you dreaming of constantly skating??
This crazy journey still looks impossible, with that wheel and the 2000 miles you continuously pushed. But I know your will to succeed so I know you will make it. For sure, I’m also praying for you daily brother, so much love. KEEP PUSHING! YOUR SO SO CLOSE😆
Bro LIVESTREAM YOUR ARRIVAL AT VIRGINIA BEACH. We would all love to celebrate your arrival 😀
Bring it home Chad!
🔧Wish I could be there when u get to the end bro!! LFY! 🐄🐄🐄 (Let's Fin Yeooo)
You got to do a video at the end that is just a minute of scenery each day so you really see how it changed throughout
Legendary brother
Cows: Look everyone it's CHAD get over here it's really him I told you he was coming by! Everyone MOOO for Chad! I think they are equally excited as the the people! Anyone else notice how clean the sides of the roads really are? Well done folks!!
All the installments should be collected, edited, and packaged as a documentary for the Travel Channel or Nat Geo or something like that, with more proceeds going to charity.
