get croakies, you'll never lose your sunglasses

[@jacobanderson8502]

Imagine he’s like all right now I’m gonna skate back home

[@Sly253]

I have never had a license I'm 30 years old now. I have skated since I was 8years old. I ride vert mostly like you and did some street. . . I longboard everyday man and am trying transition pushing because of man as it feels really awkward but I wanna push though. "Yo".

[@paulfield6815]

Chad Caruso... making it across the country with one set of wheels and 438 sets of sunglasses.

[@likespinningpats]

Yo! It was sick meeting you! I'm Patrick. Thanks for cutting out me nearly eating shit😅

[@perplexingpebbles]

Keep it up Patrick ...

[@Sly253]

Cool you got too meet Chad. Hope when he gets to the jackalope fest he's welcomed by a bunch of skaters :)

[@likespinningpats]

@@Sly253 the homies will pull up, I'm sure of it. We're worldwide

[@dudebrodude4388]

The way it cut to you hauling ass right after saying you were gonna skate "very little" was hilarious

[@likespinningpats]

@@dudebrodude4388 haha yeah, I got excited and overdid it. It was unreal, just skating with him the brief distance that I did really drove home how gnarly Chad is for doing this.

[@Wallett]

It’s so sick everyday viewers come to meet you and say hey. The community is strong around skating and I love it

[@benikita3383]

[@vasectomyfail442]

Skates across America to battle against addiction, in turn creates the most addictive videos on KZbin. Best way to start the day

[@jamss6362]

So true, the only video I get stoked to watch to on youtube.

[@joshhead4539]

I was just thinking this today. I can’t wait for the next episodes. I’ve started binging his 50 tricks on 50 states videos too just cause I can’t get enough of this dude and his awesomeness.

[@mariodelsol7617]

Been helping me with my addiction a lot just by watching his video i been sober for 30 days already cause of Chad and he doesn’t even know it

[@joelee6576]

@@mariodelsol7617 tha is rad!!! Keep it up. Mk 💯👌🛹👊🤙

[@danielbazzy]

Love to see the 70k subs 👏

[@tobyandcarol]

We need 100k by Virginia!

[@memorysometimers3067]

Is 100k when he gets silver plaque !!?? That’d be an awesome reward for him.

[@Dadbot]

Been watching him since the day he left Venice. I am not subscribed. Subs only matter to people like us who watch KZbinrs religiously. Or to people who use KZbin for a job. This is just a platform he’s using to showcase his journey. I can’t help but feel like subs mean nothing to him.

[@colecrippen4645]

[@BroadcastsFromPoorFarm]

@@Dadbot a sub is a form of showing support, full stop.

[@terribletoos26]

The best people in the world make everyone else more important. Chad is the subject but he makes everyone else the subject when he comes in contact with them. Biff

[@staysteezy1104]

Tomorrow is the big day for me. I'm gonna be having ACL reconstruction for the first time in my skateboarding journey at 27 years old and your videos have been an inspiration and motivator for me and just all around put my mind at ease with everything that's going on. I just wanna say thank you and what you're doing is rad!

[@sandalkid2351]

Speedy recovery man 💯

You'll come back no problem. Stay healthy. Rehab.

Sunglasses Disrespecter: The Chad Caruso Story

[@smasher.338]

Yoo! I cant get over how serene the Tennessee countryside is.

[@andrewships3527]

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

[@collinmc90]

can somebody PLEASE make a super cut of all the times he says yo to the cattle at the end of this.

[@RosemaryDawson-ig8ls]

Still following you Chad. Didn't like seeing you take a fall !! LOL you're doing great, proud of you. Great cause. Stay with it. Catch ya tomorrow.

[@justineckard5399]

631 represent! You’re a beast my dude. You always inspire me to get up and skate. Even if it’s for half hour a night. Being mid thirties with a kid can be difficult to find motivation. But seeing you always getting out there and barging it is so rad. Much love my dude. Keep skating!

[@ChusPostu]

😂jugamos en la misma liga👶, pero hay que intentar sacar tiempo.

[@robertborden2666]

Pro tip: get the children skating asap and you’ll never miss a session.

[@Dillonisgone]

Havent been as hype for vids like this since years back in the Casey Neistat era👑

[@BelgianSpeedcuber]

Damn Chad, seeing how small the shoulders are on some of the streets you're skating makes me anxious just by watching it!! 😮 Keep pushing dude!! Safe travels 🤘🤘🔥🔥❤️

[@mythcrab6047]

Seeing you guys skate that little Jersey wall gave me a newfound appreciation for T-Funk on the China Banks.

[@thomasbowers6721]

Atta boy, Chad! Keep on pushin" my man! Great vibes, great cause. Got me through a tough couple days when I hurt my back and I've been following ever since. I am also a physical therapist, so it is great to hear that the trip is not only an adventure of a lifetime, but also quite therapeutic. The body is an amazing specimen to say the least. Best of luck the rest of the way, amigo!

[@gebsvideos6856]

Nice meeting you today!!! The kids were Super EXCITED!!!!

[@robertborden2666]

Sick to see Fidel, Sal, and your other friend showing up to ride with you. ❤❤❤

[@matt.endlesscourage]

I'm finally caught up and current! It's been such the blast watching you skate across america dude! Endless Courage!

[@Sly253]

I still drink everyday and smoke my weed but you inspire me brother. I really appreciate you and everyone that supports the movement. Sobriety is always on my mind and I've beaten many demons as of.

[@abundantharmony]

There is a certain kind of fairytale vibe to the south east I can't quite put my finger on. It feels mystical. All the green maybe. Beautiful.

[@necgist]

I have a torn medial meniscus right now, back leg. Skating has been tough and I took a couple of months off but after some healing, getting back on the ramp feels like it helps more than it hurts. That was a sketchy story about the truck in your lane. Illustrates the importance of skating against traffic so you can see things coming at you. Stay safe, keep pushing.

[@Project-Jaden]

I’m so glad I found you, been following this trip since around day 10 love your attitude and the way you view things, very positive

[@sean78745]

What a beautiful part of the country. It looks amazing to skate through

[@azazelreficulmefistofelicu7158]

Every sunglasses get lost or broken, that's a curse. Keep it up!

[@mikemata623]

Chad you gave me a heart attack with that thumbnail, glad it wasn't anything serious. Keep it up man!

[@AdventuresInSkateboarding]

Hard not to skate a spot with your friends. As long as you can get back up and PUSH it is 💯 the right thing to do.

[@Nollie_Fullcab]

You shouting at animals reminds me of the mark Wahlberg talks to animals snl skit

[@incrediblemrj7958]

Please be safe on those two lane roads. Keep up the good work

[@solojoe175]

I do pray after every video I watch of yours that no cars do hit you.

Props dude, youre doing some incredible work. Keep it up 💪

That's scary bro. I'm sure your on your toes at all times just soley so you can complete the trip baha . Keep pushin' godspeed. 🤙

[@johnnyc.3261]

I love how the people that don’t really skate go out of their way to push with you a little. How many dudes have you met that have a “skated with Tony Hawk” story?

A decade ago my buddy Darrian Balongie longboarded across America and raised money for St Jude (with a bass guitar on his back too, lol) but unfortunately his battle with addiction ended the other way shortly afterwards. If you guys are struggling with addiction, don't try to handle it yourself, go get professional help please.

[@clancyr1696]

I'm so nervous about those wheels man! I want for you to have the sickest wheels and the sickest story, Im not sure anymore though, Hopefully they make it!

How your clothes always fresh? I'm honestly intrigued because it's the same fit but looks new every video. Please lmk your secrets bro. Honestly your the man in my book bro.
