Please consider sharing this video as it really helps out with the algorithm! 🦑

[@FunkyJune]

bro that whole bridge part looked sketchy af, glad you made it out alive !

[@silly_goofs]

this channel is severely underrated for how much he does and how much effort he puts into all his videos

[@Skating_Squid]

I appreciate that! 🙏🏼

[@zaveonsmith9452]

I love the way you roller blade I’m getting some in a few days

[@newsman3389]

Im a 43 yr old disabled man. I look upto u, its feels like im living through u. Thank u 💓

[@Monioka]

I broke my arm last week. Every time you tripped my arm flinched in pain. Good job staying upright.

[@DashDrones]

This was epic! Thought you were gonna choose Rhode Island before I watched, and then I saw it was the first state you mentioned. Also had Hawaii in my mind too 🤣 Cannot wait for the way back 🤣 😎

[@Skating_Squid]

Dang Hawaii is another really good idea!

[@KitMenke]

Damn bro my heart skipped a beat when you tripped on the sidewalk with the semi behind you at 19:14. Do you think it is better to skate with traffic or against? Great vid and stay safe out there.

[@Skating_Squid]

haha thanks and I think its better to skate with traffic most of the time!

[@JivecattheMagnificent]

Don't worry my guy, it *definitely* looks sketchy. 😂😂😂👌 Major props, sir.

[@Shimmy8]

This was amazing. Production value is excellent in this vid.

[@graceschoeniger354]

That bridge at the end was a nail biter!! My stomach dropped when you swung the camera out over the river

[@SensationallySilky]

the vertigo was real AF

[@carriebartkowiak]

Only 30 seconds in and my stomach DROPPED from the unexpected "I'm going to hold my viewers out in the air over a hundred-foot drop", lol And I'm wondering if you timed this right so you get to skate across my baby, the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, on the annual Bridge Walk day. I hope so! I loved doing that walk when I lived there.

[@echosouthall6582]

You had me stressed out on that bridge, man.. I kept holding my breath.. lol Cool video, though!

[@SensationallySilky]

You are an amazing skater and a total inspiration. That's all. Much love and mad respect

[@TheFlamez083]

I think Truist is a bank? That bridge skate was terrifying dude but congrats on skating across an entire state you're legendary!

[@Skating_Squid]

I think you are right haha and thanks

[@cool_guy433]

This is such a good workout that’s why I got myself inline skates

[@kikematt8470]

Very relaxing just watching you doing exercise

[@gameloozer731]

Born and raised in Maryland but lived in Montana since 2014. This made me kinda homesick for my dumb little state. Great vid

[@xArtofRosesx]

i really love to watch these like vlogs, really entertaining and inspiring. ive recently got some inline skates. little wobbly still but getting there

[@gavinlew8273]

Great video! Just a few tips. Longer strides are more efficient. A speedometer would be a cool addition too! Skating beside all the large trucks along a tiny side walk made me nervous for you. Stay safe! :O. Guess you must be the first person who ever skated on the sidewalk on that bridge!

[@ExplorerGrant]

Legend! Damn i could never do that bridge and I’m used to sketchy roads here in TX that was a whole other level.

[@boxdoge8466]

If you want to do Delaware you could probably find someone with a big enough boat you can roller skate on while you're crossing the river and boom!

[@ZeroHitsEU]

That is soo cool, i recently starting rollerblading here in the Netherlands , still trying to learn how to stop properly.

[@RubyMVmistress]

Small towns scare me so much, I just get eerie vibes from them. I think it's because they look innocent, but they're not. You know what to expect from a bigger city, so you're aware, but small towns scare me.

[@tommymclaughlin-artist]

Skating across Colorado is actually a dream of mine. Easier said than done.

[@woodkellyvictor8906]

im geting my first pair of roller blade tommarow and i cant wait .

[@awsumpossum11]

Plan the work and work the plan. Way to go squid, excited to see cool new challenges like these in the future!

[@tobe259]

that's relaxing to watch

[@nivat1408]

That bridge was sketchy as hell! Thanks for the content.

[@kathrynlittle3772]

I served you at buddy lous that day!! So glad I finally found this video, and I have taken up skating since we talked that day so it hits even harder.

[@Skating_Squid]

Hey! Wow I remember you, glad you found the channel 😁 I still have more footage from me actually eating there that I want to upload eventually. Dm on Instagram and I’ll remember to send it when it’s done. I think you made an appearance if I remember correctly 🦑 that’s awesome to hear you took up skating I’ll have to come back and skate sometime, just not on that bridge lol

[@jessa.3857]

Dude, mad respect for your adventurous spirit! Do you get any joint pain after skating for these epic routes/runs of long distance? I wish I could but my knees would absolutely give up after 2 hours, lol. In my 20s I think I would've been able to though. 40s, ehh not so much.

[@Skating_Squid]

Haha yeah now that I’m almost 30 I definitely get a bit if knee pain on long skates. But as long as I’m not doing a crazy amount of spins and tricks then it usually doesn’t get too bad

[@jessa.3857]

@@Skating_Squid That's good to hear man! Skate as much as possible and be safe out there!

[@aidensanborn6085]

19:14 was so scary I thought he was going to fall under the semi

[@shade0636]

I ordered my first skates and they'll be arriving in a few days, thanks.

[@xykiwiyxmoi2109]

Earing the intro, make me feel i am in the wrong video. Now i want you to do speedrun start on yours skates

[@danandash24k7]

Very relaxing video! Appreciate this quality content your giving us, keep em coming!

[@McJaews]

Where I live, roller skaters are to act as pedestrians in traffic. That means they should use the sidewalk when available. If the sidewalk isn't available, they should stay on the left side of the road in order to better see motor vehicles approaching. The way you constantly have to check behind you is beyond dangerous. If you go on the left side of the road, you'll be able to make eye contact with oncoming drivers, and you'll be able to see silent hazards like cyclists or electric cars. I'm glad you made it through your journey okay. Please be safe.

[@TheRulleskoejten]

wild effect going out of the bridge 🙂

[@sweetslytherin]

When you almost fell on the sketchy bridge and you said,"God Jesus Christ" , that's how I scream when I almost fall skating every single time lol. I loved this video and your channel!! Thank you for giving us this. It's pretty fucking awesome!

[@Skating_Squid]

Haha 😆 thank you so much!!

[@Willstersb]

awasome dude i love to see a new video from you

[@wRFrags]

Great video keep it up and the plan will become reality!

[@F.OOTYHUB]

Only skating channel that has posted in past year lol love ur content hope u keep it up!! (:

[@Skating_Squid]

Of course I will haha every week for 3 years we are never stopping 🦑

[@timmorphine]

Nice video, once again. I thought you had a pair of triskates with bigger wheels, consider taking them on the next adventure? Should ease skating on a rough road.

[@kmg2947]

Dude mad respect.

[@skitsofrenics]

Underrated Chanel and vid. Keep it up!🛼

[@baconrocksable]

okay i'm like 3-4 minutes in and i'm just stopping to say this music is everything purr Edit: Glad you didn't die and glad you made it back safe! iconic! thanks for the content! I'mma subscribe! haha :)

[@rkriii]

Great video, thanks for risking your life on that bridge....

[@Cutiepie0111]

I would Carry a UV blocking umbrella with a little Fan on it 😎

[@rubypye7199]

"Someone needs to sweep this so people can make videos" pretty sure you're the only one that's ever gonna make a video on that bridge 😆 🤣

[@Skating_Squid]

You are probably right 😂

[@rururu5630]

Great warm up. Now cross Texas from Louisana to New Mexico via I 10 or I 20 :p Good skating dude! You are a braver man than I. I am scared to skate highways.

[@Skating_Squid]

That would be crazy! 😂 and thank you!

[@FunkyJune]

damn, amazing content as always ! Question for you, how often do you change your wheels ?

[@Skating_Squid]

thank you! and I think I change them about every 6 months

[@boo5325]

The sky is so clear...it look like the real earth.

[@zboygaming4323]

U should make a Skateboarding vid we all appreciate ur work🙂and it's zayn

[@alxuk]

Thanks for taking us on the journey! 😎🤟

[@Skating_Squid]

[@PlegakPleguk]

is handcock also made you giggle like bangkok? anyway... I love your vid.. maybe Ill make something likethis soon. nice roll

[@IsaacGallegos]

"lat at the sidewalk" shows rubble

[@rabrux]

yes, you could skate on that! no road is too difficult ;)

[@dplocus123]

Lol my family lived in Ely NV too when I used to longboard heavy. Some of the worst roads in America probably

[@Skating_Squid]

ayeeee thats funny haha and yeah the roads are horrible

[@Spielzeug-Essen]

i admit, if i was in one of those cars when you were on the road i'd think you're insane (which i still sorta do lmao) but sick video nonetheless!! :]

[@Suzuki-py6jk]

What skates are you using? Great video 👏

[@Skating_Squid]

Fr1 skates! 🦑😁

[@PraiseroftheLivinGod]

Wow what kind of skates do you use? I'm in Waldorf maryland just getting back into inline skating. I have these twister 80s but man they hurt my feet and my lower back aches within mins of skating. I'm thinking about trying soft boot.

[@Skating_Squid]

Mine are the fr1 skates. A soft boot isn’t as good. I would just try to keep pushing through and build up your back and feet to get used to the twisters. Those are great skates.

[@giantmeat9849]

Hey, I’m kinda late but I’ve been watching your videos for a bit now and I wanted to ask what is in your backpack? You usually have it on in your videos.

[@Skating_Squid]

I have a lot of camera equipment in there as well as tools and first aid 😁 I have a whole video talking about what I bring with me on my channel

[@24pincher89]

what skates do you use? i love how they look

[@carlosroubert8646]

Quick question, what’s your skating background? You’re an amazing skater!

[@Skating_Squid]

Thank you so much I’ve just skated for about 10 years nothing much more to it haha. My style is really different than most because I like to skate in the rinks

[@carolerobbins7955]

Sorry i couldn't say anything in austin again this was awsome try texas it will take time but you can do it for sure look forward to the next one

[@Cutiepie0111]

Would it be possible to go faster than a car or bike on inlines?

[@justinmartel8551]

Thank goodness you looked at the New England roads before committing to RI, coming from someone on the MA/RI border LMAO

[@truthbetold8086]

It would be best that you use bigger wheels while skating long distances next time..maybe 110mm or 125mm wheels. Be safe on the road.

[@raynaudier8622]

5:40😬😬😬🤐😶 - Dude - that driver crossed a "double solid" yellow, into *the lane going the wrong way*, for you - DO NOT count on that - it's highly illegal for them, & dangerous as hell for them - they're driving the wrong way, into incoming traffic🚗💥

[@urbanskating9317]

I can tell this is going to be sick

[@wheelsonfire1982]

I love your videos dude, please take care. We all know your skills so please don't take unnecessary dangers like that bridge. One bad move and you're dead and a driver and possibly a family would be scarred for life because they just killed / ran over someone at highway speed.

[@KittyKatsVids-nu4bn]

thats a looong ways to go

[@virgiliod.9436]

I thought the sign says "Skating is not allowed here!".

[@jenelanimation73]

Its scared me if i skate at bridge my brain said it well fall😅

[@quentinwilliams2396]

What brand skate and wheel size do you use

[@Skating_Squid]

fr1 skates and 80mm wheels

[@WBeret]

Ayy another marylander what city tho

[@lilmamalovesart]

How do u get your stick to disappear in your hand that's so cool

[@Skating_Squid]

its a special camera called "insta 360 one x"

Yeah Dollar Generals are built everywhere around every corner 🤣🤣 I feel like I'm out of town with you

[@CatzzSkatesFamily]

That is hardcore.

[@mrplayz24]

Hey skating squid, I bought new in-line skates like 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I skated in a rink that has water puddles , now the wheels don’t turn freely and they make a lot of noise. I tried to remove the wheels but they are too tight . Can You please give tips 🙏

[@Skating_Squid]

I think you probably will need new bearings and just a lot of muscle to get the wheels loose

[@mrplayz24]

@@Skating_Squid oh thanks and should I buy the same wheel bearings which are ABEC 7 or buy the ABEC 9

[@D4nang_.1raw4n]

clean the bearing with gasoline

[@kman7378]

What software do you use to edit your 360 footage?

[@Skating_Squid]

I just use the insta 360 software

It'd be so disappointing if you forgot to press record

[@stevenskim4516]

Wait?! What?! Let me just say I stopped this video at the map and I am almost in tears! What a powerful and admirable feat! I don't even know the purpose of your journey, or if it was successful for any other purpose other than the journey itself (if it was a charity awareness or campaign) but bravo!! I LOVE YOU for this video and the joy you bring through your fearless escapades. You RoCk. P.S. SOO MANY ????s....how long did the whole trip take? Do you ever consider All terrain or SUV skates? Whats your budget for bearings?? lol

It is a bit misleading saying the entire state but it is not a lie as you are literally going from the bottom of the state to the top part, but you have chosen a really thin part of the state. Good video nonetheless 😊
