Its full of false prophets that only want your money. I took my personal destress to Him, and Jesus heard my cry. We have to put Him first in our lives, a personal relationship and obey He's commandments, and i promise, your prayers will be heard. Don't listen to any pastor or whatsoever.. seek Him talk to Him alone in the middle of the night, for Jesus said = Jeremiah 29:13 [13 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart ) Everything that happens in live is for a reason. I wish you all the best for you life and love one's. Ps I'm 44 years old and i started skating on January this year, threw inspiration from skaters and as well threw Chad. The point is, we can't choose how we look, or our skincolor, or where was I born, rich or poor.... The important thing is how will you cross the finish line. Ok enough from me, thanks for reading, and please believe you can take it all to Him, the King of Glory, our Creator, Who can know you better then Him ? He that created you? And He is calling you. You can only win ! Nothing to lose. Take care ✨

I recently moved from Venice Beach to Virginia Beach, so this journey has hit home for me. A few weeks ago I lost a very good friend of mine from Venice. Maria, a skateboarder, never owned a car. And seeing this journey reminded me that I had an old set of wheels and trucks of Maria's. So I bought a deck, put on her equipment, and have started skating again. I don't know how Chad avoids bailing on the cracks and rocks like I do! I'm sure Chad will end his trip at the Neptune statue; an iconic place in VB to end an epic journey. See you there!

30 mins laying down with feet above you’re whole body. Lets blood recirculate after being forced down by gravity and feels great afterwards.

There's something so perpetual about skating. The urge to reignite that feeling we had growing up on four wheels lives on in so many people. Once a skater, always a skater.

I love how there is that shot over the bridge and then when Chad realizes he went the wrong way we see the same shot going the other way ha ha. At least taking the wrong turn let you meet that motorcycle fiddle dude... he seemed super stoked.

The interactions with random people coming out just to see you are the most amazing moments in your videos. So cool to see their reactions, the energy, the positivity, it's really inspiring! The journey is literally the destination

100% true on the wheels in the wet conditions. Orangatang offers their wheels in Harfang which are designed cuts in the wheels to help with more grip in the wet.

I love how everyone who meets you acts all starstruck.. you've definitely attained some level of celebrity status😂

I haven’t had a good laugh in a while, and the Yooo, to the Chic Fil A Cows on the billboard, touched my heart and gave me that laugh! I’m loving this journey! It’s been incredibly motivating!

It's so heartwarming to see all these people giving you support. Keep up the good work.

Chad man…. You’re a legend. I enjoy watching you everyday and you motivated me to go back travelling. I’m leaving in two weeks to travel across Canada. I wasn’t sure if I should go travel or not but since I’m watching your vids every day you keep me motivated and now I have made my decision to go. Life is soo much more enjoyable while you’re on the go and meeting new people (my opinion). And even if I get older and more anxious sometimes , I need to live in the present moment and go for it. The thing I want the most is being on the road and meeting new people so let’s do it and don’t overthink it. Cheers dude!!!

Rain with slick wheels is bad. There no way to displace the water and you spin more. Rain tire’s always have deep grooves. You are right about your wheels being better in rain with the chunks missing 2:10

I rode 2.5 miles through the city today after dropping my car off for service. You inspired me! Could use some cruisin wheels but it was a nice little trek!

Love how nice people have been.

swolen ankles is usually a blood pressure thing, but as you said its a ton of standing you are doing. try tiger balm for some pain relief if it starts hurting.

Dude Tennessee is SO beautiful man amazing. And it seems like everybody in Tennessee is following the skate across america haha

I think having more surface area when your riding a hill in the rain vs a lot less I think softer wheels grip up really good whenever

Everybody wants to see and touch the famous busted wheel ha ha

In the end of all this, I would love to see a layout of all of the pic you took with these awesome supporters all together!

They shouted you out on Skateline yesterday.

I love series like these because everyone who is going to their 9-5 or just who sees you out and about is always thinking "man I wish I could do this". And so many people can they just choose not to, awesome to think you could be the reason that someone does.
