What is deodorant?
You didn't know you could wash clothes at the hotel/motel?....Walmart special sunglasses will last you months if you don't drop them a butch..it's the exspensive ones that you loose/break..lol..keep going brother!..the journey is more important that the destination😉
....p.s..kept watching..boy was I wrong..I never would have thought one day!..did you drop them??..if you kept the receipt,you could trade them in or take them back at any Walmart.
USPS/ups has been terrible lately

I love that he hasnt had a single bad encounter, just people checking in on him. Good vibes.
Don’t jinx it!! Jk. 😂 ✌️👍
I hitchhiked for several years off and on, went on two 1000-mile bike tours, etc and have never once had a bad encounter. This was all about 15 years ago but the myths are myths. People are good. Watching this brings me back to those days. ✌️
@@PerkBuildersit’s about bad people who do bad things, count your blessings
he’s white
@Jimbo Jones were nice in Detroit to, we just don't any shit lol well maybe a little mean
After this series is over someone should compile all the clips of chad greeting the animals
Someone needs to make a shirt with Chad skating by a bunch of cows with a speech bubble that just says "Yo"
I love that he had a conversation with some sheep that's gold
Fr
That was awesome 😂
It definitely wasn’t baaaaaaad.
I love how in every video somebody ask if you need a ride like they can’t comprehend a person would be choosing to ride a skateboard on these roads 😂
Unfortunately I don’t skateboard but Chad is inspiring me to get sober. I struggle with mental health issues and desperately need a change in life that starts with myself, I have extremely low self esteem and would do anything for others before myself. People mistake my kindness for a weakness and abuse me. I have no friends to be honest but I have the best gf and family that a man could ask for. Self medicating is my short term solution but never helps me long term. My family never gave up on me even when I gave up on myself. If not for me, I have to do it for them! Sorry for rambling but sometimes it helps just writing it somewhere. Bless whoever made it this far.
Btw what would be more interesting to watch since i’m boring and can’t skateboard, pedal bike or rollerblades across Canada for mental health or maybe for kids/families who can’t afford sport equipment? Thank you
Highly recommend learning to skate! I most bike but skating is awesome and you almost never think about other addictions while skating.
Hey man, keep going! I can say I Rollerblade personally and workout everyday. Doing something physically demanding is great for mental health. Combine that with learning something new, and you will be having fun while improving yourself/ doing something constructive. Don't worry about other people's opinions. focus on improving your skills and mental state while getting in shape. Do that for 30 days, and you will be amazed at the progress you can make! You got this!!
Get sober, we have your back.
Congratulations on making a change, having an outlet and a means for building community is very important this guy is really inspiring whether your doing skateboarding or just realizing that creativity and community are very important needs we all have. skateboarding, music, art, poetry, graffiti, nature, find something worth living for and go after it with everything you have.
One day at a time is real. You can do it. Don't beat yourself up when things aren't perfect and do it one day at a time.
I dont understand how you are not getting millions of views!
Been watching since day 1. You are an inspiration.
I don't get how the views are so low either. I'm re-watching all of these 16 months later and trying to leave comments for the algo help.
even when I'm biking i rarely go over 110km, today you did more than that and in skateboard ! chad you really are a great athlete
They were saying CHAAADDDDDD not baaaaddd hahaha! I love watching these everyday. Gets me motivated.
Every day I watch these videos and I eat a bowl of ramen on my lunch break at work. Now whenever I see his face in my recommended my mouth starts watering
Love it when Chad talks to sheep, cows, dogs, always a funny moment. “Yo, what up?” and they keep staring as if they knew what was going on.
Gonna need the “chad saying whassup to the animals he passes” compilation after this :) keep pushing g 👍🏼
It's gonna be baaaaaaaad.
I was thinking the exact same thing! Ha
.....so that drain ditch in the beginning of this video looked like a killer skate spot.
I love how you use the Slim Jim as a pointer too, so resourceful!
You're funny Chad! The interaction with the animals is HILARIOUS!!!!
They say when you “pack for your fears” you’re nearly fearless.
I like this.
I'm here to share the journey every day! Thanks! 😀
Its cool to see how positive, and supportive everyone is he meets along the way. If you listen to the media/ the internet it seems like America is a horrible place full of selfish jerks, but when you see the real people it reminds you that we live in a great place full of good people.
And I thought my 10+ mile skate yesterday was long 😂 way to inspire us all
"bad, really? I thought it was kinda cool" so good, just low key dry humor
I enjoy when you talk to the cattle on the side of the road Chad haha enjoying watching your journey, keep going!
Meets 2/3 of the skate community in a town in one day. ❤
The cows following you consistently is a pretty funny theme to this whole thing so far 😂, didn’t know they would do that
When you think about how 24 miles is a marathon and your pushing for like 50-70 miles a day! Crazy man! 👊
Whipping out the jerky is such a good commercial for slim Jim
I've really been enjoying this journey and am going to be sad when I can't hang out with you everyday
You are such a fucking legend! I remember watching your 50 states during lockdown and it was one of the few things that kept me sane(barely). As someone who stuggles with the whole keeping clean and getting at it mindset you truly are a beacon amongst the fog of modern life. Best of luck for the rest of the trip Chad. Bless! 🤙
Dude, Brother. at the 7: min mark with all the sheep. Literally had me rolling on the floor laughing. Thank you for that. Safe travels. Much luv, positive frequencies. 💚🐑🍀 shoo goo 2
baaahh,
lmao especially when all of them came to the fence to say hi ahahah
@@dhaloh 🤣💚
Quality farm animal interactions as ever! Keep going, can't believe your pushing with those shoes and wheels, 🤣
Dude, I love waking up and catching a video from you. I live in Virginia and will definitely be seeing you in Virginia Beach. When you get here. Such an inspiration.
Love how you're just getting on with it and enjoying it, complete lack of bs and click bait. Great adventure, stay safe.
Can't wait to see you with fresh wheels tomorrow. 🌟❄️
So happy to see all the new followers, and I hope this channel continues to grow. Chad deserves it all ❤
The sheep convo is the best encounter so far 🤜🤛
Great! Meeting people, chatting with the crowd and getting stronger everyday.
Sorry about your sunglasses X)
Also can we appreciate how crazy 50 even his best 76 miles in one day on a skateboard is crazyyyyy
I love how he always talks to the animals along the way
😂😂 when he said 2 weeks for those glasses I about spit out my water!
Mad respect, Chad! And that route change was a blessing. I was worried about you going through the sand dunes of Monahans and into the rough oil/gas fields of Odessa and Midland. That might have been your worst stretch. Hope it's smooth rolling from here on out!
LMFAO...... The interaction with the sheep early on in the video absolutely hilarious man. Wish you the best of luck on your journey brother be safe out there
“Bad? 🤔”
that clip of the sheep was suprisingly wholesome, i thought they would just run away from you
Hey Chad, good to see you again bro. Keep on keeping on 👏👏👏
The cows are always like " damn ive seen it all.."
Those sheeps were mad chill. Definitely supporting of the skate
Checking in daily, extremely motivational man. 🤘
Keep it up bud! Quite the journey ya got going on here, I told my self i wanted to bike across Canada, but to skate that distance is just insane! Wild goal ya set, wishing ya nothing but the best.
Just checked out your route, far out! I’m four years sober myself after many years on the juice and skating again, just pushing around my hood to the local shops and stuff. This is epic man, all the best, just keep pushing. Hope your shoes get to you soon! Take care
such a sick skate spot at the beginning, had me drooling!!!
What impresses me the most is the amount of distance you can cover without a left or right turn. Unheard of unless you’re on a motorway in the UK (and even then you’d be pulled over and arrested)
How's it going?
Ba-a-a-ad.
What do you think of skating across America?
Ra-a-a-ad
Gold!
Don’t let the sheep get to you Chad, you’re doing great!
Chad Caruso...cow whisperer. You may have missed your calling as a farmer.
He reminds me of Mark Wahlberg (Andy Samberg) talking to animals in that SNL skit
yooo that looks like a sick skate spot
I'm so jealous of places that have ditches like that
There's a ditch by my house that's so good I'll skate there instead of going to the park lol
I was thinking someone surly is going to mention the ditch.. Looks fun
This video made me think of a potential future challenge: crashing with homeys across the country (world?) and skating their backyard ramps. Just a thought. Keep pushing Chad.
Keep Pushin' Chad!! Excited for the wheel change!! Have a great day!!!
4:19 I was just commenting about how I had no idea where you were. Thanks for the explanation. I would recommend saying your location (where you start) at the beginning of each video. That way, if someone comes across a stray video through the algo, they get what is going on
Thanks for sharing the wonderful continuium of purpose that is solely You and the Universe 🌎🏜🏞🌌🌞
I can't believe you haven't been stopped by any highway patrols yet!! Isn't it illeagal for pedestrians to be on the highways? Good luck out there, you're killing it!!
I'm pretty sure it's just the interstate. Long as you stay off it you're pretty legit.
Those sheep reminded me of a horror movie where you're being warned 😂.
🐑 🐑 🐑🐑🐑
"BaaaaaaADDD"
that spot in the opening look so fun!!
Damn this man has a beef jerky quiver. He's gonna make it for sure.
Hi Chad, A temporary fix for the high wear spots on shoes is the adhesive backed sandpaper, like on your deck ! Just apply for fwd half of shoe, clean up with de-greaser if possible before applying... Bigger wheels and maybe some pads under trucks will help you get longer stroke per push while being smoother riding. Was wondering if you can latch backpack straps together for reduced movement and wasted energy ? Maybe even try wearing backpack in front instead of on back to spread muscle loads for variety's sake if straps can be latched on rear by someone else ?
Good skateboarding adventure
Wow! I just found your channel…one word! INSPIRING!!! Keep rocking it brother and may the angels of the lord surround and protect you on your journey! Much love brother!😎🙌🏼💪🏼🤙🏼
Sheep were saying Raaadddd. Not bad bro
Talking to the sheep was bad hahahaha thanks for sharing your personality. This video series is so chill at times . Much like life, it has its ups and downs. Your attitude is everything , specifically your attitude has been great, minimalist and capturing some of the simplistic aspects of life. Keep on keeping on brother
Lol
You need one of those granny chains for your next pair of glasses
You’re a beast Chad. Super inspirational, i love the positive attitude! Keep it up bro, a lot of people cheering for ya!
How’s it going? - Baaaaaaaaaad 😂
entertaining as always, thanks Chad!
Sobriety = freedom. Your journey is the full expression of that.
#slimjim You guys have to sponsor this man. He eats so many tasty Slim Jims on his way across America for Mental Health/Addiction Awareness.
Been following your content Chad loving the trip! The amount of ground you cover in a day is unbelievable to me. Greetings from the netherlands
please never stop talking to the animals chad, i love you bro
Thanks again for sharing your trip with us. It has been a blast following you on your skate
Have you missed the hoodie since you said goodbye to it in the beginning of NM?
I wonder if a crazy fan went out and snagged the hoodie.
So awesome!
Thank you for inspiring me🙏🏼❤️
May i ask if you have thought about one of those clip on rearview mirrors for your cap to have more control about what’s coming your way?
Thank you again and see you on the road somewhere 🙏🏼👊🏽
Still watching, & loving seeing the landscapes
Keep pushing & safe travels from NewZealand 🤙🤙
I like the eyepatch sunglasses look 😎
Keep pushing Chad!!
Safe travels 🤘🤘🔥🔥❤️
Unreal journey so far. Respect brotha.
Ha, sorry! I knew those glasses wouldn’t last the day 🤣🤣
I love this series man, I've been following since day 1. You're a legend!
O shit I fail lol! One day is terrible for sunglasses! Geez where is a sunglass sponsor when you need one @MVMT?!
My man is out here living on Red Bulls and Slim Jim's? Hopefully you're eating decent meals at the rest stops. I love that you chat up every farm animal😂😂
Amazing effort !!
The fresh shoes are going to feel amazing !!
I dig the tree shots
Might want to get some shoe goo for the kicks? I've never put it on the bottom / sole but I'm sure it will keep your feet from busting through for a couple more days!
Those sheep seemed chill af!
At Walmart I get my sunnies in the fishing department you should check out the renegades there about 15 bucks ive had a pair last me 2 years and there polarized I have one eye that stays dilated so ive tried every cheap pair I could find and ive been wearing these for many years now keep it up man you got me back into long distance travel ima either ride a solar bike across the states or canoe the whole Mississippi River not sure yet something big is happening this year
You haven't changed your wheels yet?! I remember like a week ago you said they we're about to go out 😂 the sheep definitely are aware of you hahaha
Safe travels 🙏💯🤙
Best farm animal encounter so far!!
Really enjoying your conversations with animals.
Aye man dope videos. I'm following along the whole way. Re route thru nc. The app mountains will be good nevertheless
I've been telling to my friends about you they don't even believe me. I'd imagine you're gonna have to swap out all of your gear at least 2 or 3 times during your trip. This is a huge learning curve for everyone :)
Loving this series. Thanks for doing this.
Get bones red big balls they have deeper race groves and 6 over sized balls instead of the 7 smaller ones. And also I’d rotate wheels often so you can get even wheel wear and the bearings aren’t have the same consistent load on them
How are ya gonna say they only have like fast food there, when at 8:06 there is clearly a Taqueria Jalisco ! nice skating those wheels are getting wrecked
Also - do you ever get rides "back" to places? I have heard of people who do 'straight line' trips doing something like that, where they trek to a place, but then will get taken someonewhere else and dropped back off at the original spot.
If there's a Walmart or Walgreens somewhere some cheap insoles might help with your feet while waiting for your new shoes.
