    Chad, very inspired by you. 2 years sober here. Watched every video of yours. Been skating for 22 years. I’m a cyclist with over 15,000 miles biked on roads in the US. You’ve got to start riding on the right side of the road. Stop riding against traffic.
    Drivers have no choice except to hit you or hit an oncoming car if there’s a problem in the road. Their reaction time is also greatly diminished when you’re coming at them. Whereas if they’re coming up behind you they can always brake or swerve to avoid you.
    And the speed differential, man. If you’re going 15mph and a car is coming at you going 45, that’s like hitting a brick wall with your body at 60mph. Whereas if you’re going 15 and they hit you from behind at 45 it’s like getting hit at 30mph which is still dangerous but has greater than a 50% survival rate.
    You should hang an orange or safety green construction triangle from your backpack. You wear all black and the road is all black. People will not see you at all when they’re fucking around on phones and half paying attention to the road. Don’t let pride get in the way. You’ve almost made it. Finish this shit strong like a champ. The skate world will be devastated if you got hit.
    Love from Austin, Texas. You’re an inspiration.
    Andrew
