    Believe it or not, I actually skated 94 miles just to tell a girl I use to date that I still love in the middle of the night. Long story short, we talked 'til 7am but I skated home empty handed. I shot my last shot, gave all my best, but still came home with nothing.

    I bought my first skateboard from Big 5 when I was 15, it was a Darkstar. I quit around a year later because at the time, I couldn't ollie. I'm currently 19, I turn 20 in November and I got myself an entire new set up today, I can't sleep so I'm watching this and I really can't wait for the sun to rise so I can hop on my board again. :)

    you know, there will always be someone who says what youre doing is insane and stupid, but ultimately its going to be up to you, i know a few guys who all just packed up, got a board and left, and although thats not like a traditional way of life, i think thats living, i always ALWAYS wanted to skate from cali, to new york, ever since i was a kid and i first heard about skateboarding i wanted to just go on this crazy journey i even told my dad once and he got all pissed and said it was stupid, everyone did, but im still going to do it. so hopefully if i dont die along the way, as soon as i pull enough money and supplies, ill be on the road from cali to York i mean it wont be for a few years but its worth it its like a mobile meditation practice, the entire time you are meeting such different people and along the way you end up getting to know who you are its crazy

We have boards with trucks and wheels, and we can DO WHATEVER WE WANT. Seeing this makes me appreciate skating for what it is and what it does. Peace to all of you, and enjoy every type of skater there is, and who they are. We have a wonderful thing, and we gotta enjoy it before a pebble makes us crack our skulls.

    im a Marine living in Okinawa, Japan and this video just hit me in the heart. i live for doing things like this that no one else thinks they can do. so in a few months im going to take a vacation and skate board from the northern tip to the southern tip of okinawa. its roughly a 70 mile trip im going to try to do in 9 days.

    Ever since my DUI I've been skating a lot. It really makes my day so much better when I get to bomb hills and race cars.. I feel bad for people stuck in their "coffins" as Bodezafa would say. I live in Yorba Linda, California and was thinking of doing a skate trip down to San Diego or the border of TJ if anyone wants to go. Loved this video.. really inspired me.

    This is just beautiful. Looking forward to take a trip like this on my board, too. A good friend, a sleepingbag, beer, tent and having a good time, just skating. Thats what dreams are made of.
