Seriously some of the best content on KZbin right now. You’re literally living the adventure of a lifetime. I’ve seen a lot of guys traverse insane courses on motorbikes but this is stepping up the game, skating over the roughest roads and keeping your chin up the whole way…awesome

[@noahwilke4573]

Love n light Chad keep it up! 💪🤙

[@caleymoore]

When you said “yooo, what up” to the fake deer was the hardest I’ve laughed so far while watching the journey

[@eveningstar8581]

I knowww LOL! I died!!

[@monkist]

Had a fair share of yo’s today😂

[@dadsbecooking7783]

The yooooo …. What up. To all the animals is my favorite part of the series 😂😂😂

[@spikerzombie]

Shout out the homie with that shaped board realest skater we’ve seen so far

[@Simnettnutrition]

Another great episode! I love that the vegan guy brought you plant based jerky because I'm sure he knows you love Slim Jims and that's about the closest vegan thing he could get. People are awesome and this series is really highlighting that. So much love from strangers and subscribers, it's all love out there.

[@dadsbecooking7783]

Honestly this is one of the most mine blowing facts. The amount of support and people that are just stopping asking for rides?! Social media would make you think that in America every other person is going to rob him or run him over or cuss him out.

[@robertborden2666]

Having an audience of some sort is not inherently a bad thing. Some people succumb to the pressure but it seriously can drive you toward excellence in one way or another. It could be cleaning up before company comes or putting on a better shirt when you expect to speak at a meeting that day. The self-improvement that comes with maintaining a KZbin channel is very very similar and if you let it, it can be life changing.

[@rulehardgarage9740]

This is something I fought with when it comes to skating. Making skate videos is a part of skating but making IG clips seems like indulgence in the ego. But sometimes the camera there, the people rooting you on all push you the extra step.

[@howardb.6205]

word

[@rickmorty8697]

Sounds advice right thur

[@eveningstar8581]

This is solid truth!

[@oliverjackson5070]

Like Mr.Beast.

[@sk360flip]

It’s amazing how these day long skate sessions put you in an almost psychedelic mindset. Getting self reflective and realizing your flaws while recognizing your growth. Good stuff Chad! Getting high on life!

[@WestHaddnin]

Facts!

[@thehandleiwantedwasntavailable]

Every time you say “yo, whaddup” to an animal, makes me laugh. And I mean, every time!! Amazing journey man. I joined at day 49 and I’m rapidly binging them all so I can watch your finishing videos as you post them. Inspiring stuff on every level.

[@noahwilke4573]

You had some fruit leather my guy! Skipped on the jerky the Texan BBQ jerky strips and other bag homie had! Those Texan BBQ vegan jerky’s are delicious! Love n light Chad wishing you the best keep it up 💪🤝🤙

[@houseofsolomon2440]

Will try that Texas bbq vegan jerky - T.Y. f/rec'. : )

[@yommmrr]

I went for my first push today in about 10 years. My legs and back were screaming but it was worth it. I just went around town for an hour or so. Wouldn't have done it without seeing your videos. Cheers dude

[@ShauninParadise]

KZbin has helped me with my depression. I have a unique lifestyle with a lot of a free time. A blessing, but a curse because idle hands do the work of the devil - as they say. KZbin, having a creative outlet and learning to make videos at age 45 has provided me with the most happy and emotional 2 years of my life. My channel grows like molasses, but i make shit I love. I make my own art and whether it’s good or not doesn’t matter. Your journey here is remarkable! A lot of people bullshit about turning a corner in their life, a change for the better- Chad brother it’s all over your face 🤙🏽 mega inspiration and love from Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤. 🏄🏼

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

1:50 JD, seems like a chill dude, if he is like that everyday I envy him. Keep it up!

[@dadsbecooking7783]

That shake though 😢 I felt the second hand embarrassment

[@citystars1117]

I love the physical journey that he’s doing, but I think my favorite parts of every video thus far has been the mental journey Chad goes thru, and his like thought of the day while skating he breaks down. Even if it’s something completely random and not relatable exactly, the message and conclusion is always very relatable.

[@troypeterson6057]

I've been watching from the start, and every day that you put up the new video, I have wondered if today will be the day when everything goes bad, you lose your drive, you question why you're doing this, you lose hope, etc. I don't know how to say this exactly, but the fact that you simply do not do that, you are always pushing forward with this unbreakable positive drive has affected me, and I know it's done the same for countless other people watching this. I no longer expect you to falter or quit, now I just think how grateful I am to watch you go on with a strong heart and free of doubt and fear. You are changing lives with this journey. Thank you, Chad.

[@tobyandcarol]

The route changes… I love how chill you are about it.

[@robbiesharp311]

Long haired bro was a righteous dude. 👊

[@RachaelPadilla]

Every day's an adventure out on the road! Thank you so much for sharing this amazing trip with us! Just the skating would be hard enough, but you're also making excellent videos and uploading them along the way. the filming and editing make it so much harder! You rock! 😀

[@18JR78]

8:35 Props 💯. That's what life is about, Growth. Not perfection but raising the bar and challenging yourself.

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Enjoyed the thoughts on KZbin. I am a process person and not an artistic person. I had never filmed r edited or even skated for that matter and I went all in. It has been an incredible learning experience through my 40s.

[@williep8890]

Wow, the hill bomb bit with old mate was like 1 of them simulator rides for a second!!! Keep.pushing.Chad

[@frankiboots]

Chad we're watching your progress man and we're in awe of you.

[@silvertunastudios870]

Duke those trailers ripping by... nuts. Keep crushing it brother!

[@ryanhingorani4019]

you can get dried mango covered in chili powder at all healthy grocery stores. its so damn good!

[@drippyscratchcat]

"Not exactly Jerky." Lol. Keep pushin', Bro!! I'm headed to the grand opening of a dope, new indoor skatepark in Albany, New York with a wooden bowl.... So stoked to skate!!

[@ericsower7022]

Thank you for that info about the new sk8 park in Albany.

[@jasonsk8s2]

The mileage you put on daily, repeatedly and so nonchalantly is amazing. I’ve skated street for 35 years and push a good distance frequently but DAMN!

[@anthonymangia8890]

You're like Indiana Jones with that hat, love it!

[@Fg4Lucki]

glad you're hitting your gofundme goal people are really supporting you heavy

[@tonycroft6353]

Im quite simply bloody well enjoying this daily dose of stoic pushing and sharing... Croftee uk

[@Cincinnatijames]

I like that we're seeing your food stops

[@jonathanfawcett]

So you are traveling up on 79 to Memphis? I'll be sure to take that road on my way back home to Texas tomorrow. I was hoping to see you on Thursday on 67. But by the time I was driving through the town you were in, I don't think you started your day yet at 8am.😅

[@MZRFaith]

Just don’t get in his way, a lot of people have been stopping him. Gotta let him breathe too, it’s ok to watch from a distance, we don’t need to have that interaction.

[@3peckeredgoat735]

Can't get enough of the cows chasing you, so funny. I haven't skated in 30 years or so, you definitely caught my attention with your crazy cool skate across America trip. I hope nothing but the best for you, keep up your fantastic attitude brother, cheers.

[@landometer4561]

Bro, you passed through my hometown. I grew up in Sheridan, AR. Love your videos and series. Wish I would have been able to meet you!

[@perplexingpebbles]

One can start getting the Peter Paul and Mary feeling; traveling across the freedoms still alive, and it shows ❤

[@andrewrawitch8138]

You had my dying when you "yoed" the fake deer

[@AustinAlverson-fm1gr]

Im starting my hitchhiking journey tomorrow. Hopefully we end up in Virginia beach at the same time

[@__-qq8rx]

This is my wake and bake now, 9 days no flower, no nicotine. But its raining all week. Currently chilling at 11566. Keep going bro, stay aober bro, grabbin life by the balls.

[@davedave7038]

that failed handshake with jd was gold

[@houseofsolomon2440]

Jd mnight have had a case of the nerves lol. Nice of him to bring snacks : ]

[@davedave7038]

@@houseofsolomon2440 100%. it was a genuine human interaction

[@airmaxjoe]

That brand of fruit jerky is great. Its more like a fruit mashed into a small portion . I love the mango drizzled with cacao. Stay strong 💪 ❤

[@smasher.338]

Found out about your trip last week. Its become a must watch. Love seeing the scenery. Id like to see longer videos but its probably a pain to edit them as it is.

[@justjosh_]

All of a sudden there are more people boarding around my spot. It’s cool. Keep it up brah! Chaaaaa!

[@falcosk8]

Truly amazing!

[@Scooter_built]

So into this journey. Stoked for you.

[@swshr]

Need more of these!

[@drun]

Seeing the fans run up and interact with their inspiration is inspirational! 🎉

[@eveningstar8581]

It's my favorite part!🥰

[@leeshiflett1863]

I don't know if anyone is noticing the amount of dollar stores in these towns. You're documenting important stuff man. Things change so fast. In just five years some of those places won't be there. Great work!🤘🤘👍

[@MattMcConaha]

One thing I've noticed in my travels is that you can find a Dollar General in the smallest of towns and many other near-desolate locations.

[@BelgianSpeedcuber]

Thanks for the daily vlogs!! Keep pushing dude!! Safe travels 🤘🤘🔥🔥❤️

[@jevinday]

I never thought about how many trucks pass right by you. And the cows are still the best part. Let's go! Haha

[@mattconnelly9348]

[@joshquintero9062]

It really puts it into perspective when you said you hadnt had pizza in 30+ days. I wonder what your ideal comfort/relaxation would be after the trip!

[@RetroHabit82]

Hope to see you in Memphis Chad. Be safe

[@LonelyArtistFanClub]

[@dillypentland]

I agree that a month is too long without a slice of za.

[@5klicktone]

[@wrenkler]

I'm feeling that youtube evelution thingy. Just have to try stuff to learn be mindful, also hearing others. Crazy challenge dude!! Your doing soo good.

[@afrostypolarbear2540]

what a wholesome shark wheel mans

[@ericbeich]

Still not sure which you are better at, human interaction or animal interaction, probably both. I think a lot of us can relate to you and are for sure feeling this journey along with you. I know I'm not the only one who's day instantly gets better with each video.

[@jacoblarsen6227]

Uncle Henry’s bbq is a great place to eat just before pine bluff the bbq nachos were hard to beat

Rolling, rolling, rolling.
