[@FEELTHETRILL]

Bless this beautiful man! Thank you for taking us along this journey, Chad 🙏

[@AMMAZZARE]

Who’s gonna wake up early to Yo the cows now that you are at the end of your journey?

[@jantelliquawallace355]

feel your pain at the end of a good long tour. I never want it to stop. Starting a bicycle ride frome key west to Maine next week. Ill yo the cows for you.

[@typerightseesight]

That was a warmer welcoming than Chad Muska! lol.

[@ajt1130]

Anyone else expecting a forest gump finish... A whole crowd of skaters behind him as he gets near the finish!

[@smasher.338]

Lets hope so.

[@JustAnotherHumboldtKid]

It's going to happen 🤙

[@aaronmcneal1698]

​@@Cyge240sx that would be awesome

[@ajt1130]

I hope so, would love to see that!

[@HsvPeavey]

I’ve been thinking this same thing! I wish I had the free time to be one I. The crowd that greets him!!

[@Yeeeaintgondoit]

Let it be known I tried to skate the last 10 miles with him made it for about 2 miles and felt like I was gonna die Chad is built differently.

[@davidbolduc828]

Seismic should sponsor Chad for having used their wheels all the way across America.

[@patirckozz]

how long would a pair of dualderometers last

[@JustAnotherHumboldtKid]

Fact is Seismic will reach out to him but the miles he put on them has already been done Chad is another person who has shown the quality of there wheels but on a side note most wheels are made by only a couple manufacturers and they make them to spec and label the for that specific brand

[@patirckozz]

@@JustAnotherHumboldtKid would be nice to have a study. u know, for shits n titts. honestly i engineer, manufacture and weld jet engines and aero space and to me, seems like there was either a chemical makeup, mfg or design failure happened somewere allong the line . seems weird to me. for the material to fracture like these did. i had a simular problem with my spitfire 80HD wheels a few years ago.i marked off to chemical makeup. did he break down why he went with these?

[@patirckozz]

didnt realize its the same set!! wow i thought he switched two out somewhere in nm or tx. impressive damn. fk the process they crossd murica

[@JustAnotherHumboldtKid]

@@patirckozz I been in the skate scene for close to 30 years i know the people behind alot of brand and Seismic is actually relatively new to the game. I have downhill raced on a pro level for over 25 of those years and the part of Research and Development is actually a trial and fail until you find what you like and I can tell you personally that most if not all that info is kept close and that's for a lot of reasons and the reason Chads wheels have lasted so long is the center is harder than the outside layer and that could be the way they were designed or do to pressure from riding mixed with the heat of the distance and environment that the wheel is subjected to. To most they'll say that's opinion but I ain't most I been in the Game along time

[@inspirationx1]

Homie finishes a 3,000 mile trip and the KZbinrs are demanding a final video at 9am. Ever occur to any of you that you should be patient and let him enjoy the moment?

[@darude]

[@pdannny]

Anyone else getting anxious that there won't anymore daily updates? Congrats on the adventure and bringing us along with ya. Been watching since California!

[@hawaiisidecar]

Worrying is a waste of my time.

[@Sly253]

More like sad bro

[@AMMAZZARE]

Yeah it’s kinda bittersweet. Gonna miss these videos.

[@rastamoore]

Kind of morbid.

[@patrickburr3059]

They’ve been a nice start to my day for sure.

[@sunshineandsmiles9668]

I tell my skatepark friends about your journey and they say man I wanna do something now. Same feeling I have. I also spread that you are sober and vigilant. Thanks bro!

[@Owen4368]

I've visited the US a couple of times from Australia and mostly spent time around the cities. Watching these videos has shown me how scenic and diverse the country is, in ways the media just never captures. The highlight has been seeing the impact it's had on people who come out and share their story, and even non-skaters, they can all in some way relate.

[@seanflynn781]

You're the man dude. We appreciate you so much. And those kids will, too.

[@bzuulu]

Classic 'He doesn't bite!' moment

[@hostnik777]

Same people who have Dahmer as a neighbor - “he seemed so nice”.

[@LowEndMarauder]

Lol @ "his tail is wagging" that doesn't mean anything honestly. I would have been ready to truck that square headed mutt into the next dimension

[@eveningstar8581]

😂🤣

[@metalmusician6996]

That guy yelling at his dog was HILARIOUS!

[@krouchingtigerr]

Let’s go! Dude, not only are you crushing it on this trip, but you’ve also discovered your minor superpower: “Cow Whispering.” It’s so great to see how you get them to run after you!

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

I told my recently sober best friend about this journey and without hesitation he wanted to donate to you. This cause is actually really powerful

[@bashirijones7008]

Just watched Day 55! And hit notifications...and...BING! Day 56 loaded! Need a "Chad (Made) in America" deck!👍

[@charles_wren_films]

Chad, what I love most about you is how unfalteringly upbeat and optimistic you are. You’re an absolute inspiration. I’ll be sad when this adventure comes to an end… maybe you should come to Europe next 😅 Massive respect bro x

[@RiaJin]

Damn we need a live feed of the finish line!

[@theskatelinechannel]

Agreed,!

[@gh0stm0nst3r6]

Dude! Somebody give this man a deal for a deck! Congrats fam

[@HeadNtheClouds]

It should have a map on it & cows & yo

[@murkyylurkss]

@@HeadNtheClouds i could do that so quick lol

[@smasher.338]

And wheel!!! Jesus, cross country on the same set. What an ad.

[@magicwood2360]

​@@smasher.338 seriously, all it says is these will last you across the United States lol 😆

[@SuperCruzzer]

I got sober March 27th this year and watching this every day has been giving me a solid start to everyday thanks for what you do!

[@eveningstar8581]

Congratulations, my friend! You got this! You can do this! PLEASE PLEASSE PLEASSSE know that if you fall off, get back up! Stumbles do not have to keep you down. May God Bless you and keep you in his Graces!🙏🏻💕

[@marcelboogaard3809]

I read it had to happen and immediately thought about the wheels. That would have been a bummer. Wish I could be there tomorrow but I’m in the UK. I will raise a non alcoholic lager after I’ve seen the last episode. 👊🏻

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

There’s so much to learn from this journey beyond the obvious cause of promoting sobriety. Enjoying nature, enjoying being alone, and discovering that there are good people all the way across this country are good examples

[@blowinshtup6553]

new merch shirt…..”git yo @ss in the yard!”😂

[@Bruce516]

I bet soaking your feet in the cold Atlantic would be nice. Massive accomplishment Chad. Your family in the future will be able to relive this.

[@zackarychristian9489]

Bro he's done. Assuming everything went great. It's crazy to think that this man actually did it. He is truly legendary

[@tapshaapiseva4372]

Yo, thank you for the adventure, meeting the American people. They are Cool. The endless beautiful countryside animals and wilderness never shown in skatevids or television shows. Your ride across the land is worthy of Native Honours, the respect of the global skateboard community, and finally my gratitude as you have set the third corner stone in my struggle to calm down the "Chronic." Wish you a safe arrival. Congratulations Chad.

[@patrickfrazier9187]

Incredibly inspiring, dude! I've been sober 4 years myself and I'm skating at 42 years old, "feeling like a kid again". I'm sure this story will help a lot of people out there that are struggling. Respect. I hope to meet you sometime down the road.

[@thomaass2]

First couple days I was worried about you, running out of water in the desert was an eyebrow raiser but you seem to have really learned a lot. I think you’d dig backpacking/through hiking.

[@jayzayproductions5454]

Agreed. That was the first day I found this series! I also got worried for his well being and ability to complete this a safely but he proved to us he’d do it!❤

[@lisakokidko2711]

Hi Chad thanks for sharing your journey and caring about issues surrounding mental health and addiction. My adult son whose 30 and I have really enjoyed watching your videos and having something fun to talk about with each other. He no longer lives at home but I still enjoy learning about who he likes to follow on social media. Seeing so many places I have not yet had the chance to visit was also pretty cool. You are a really good guy and your honest and down-to-earth personality makes you pretty darn likable. You are helping people more than you can imagine. K

[@THESLOWDEATHHOOKS]

Legendary adventure man. Guinness world record worthy!

[@LimeBoy-oo6ph]

I like how he went around the dirt road rather than resorting to walking

[@jtubef8620]

This has been such an adventure for us all, I can't imagine how it must have been for you. Thank you for doing this, and for WHY you're doing this. I'm not trying to air my old dirty laundry online, but it means a lot.

[@jevinday]

Love ya brother. It's about 1:15 on the east coast. You're probably gonna be in Virginia Beach soon. Thank you for letting all of us be apart of this.

[@mattstanbridge]

That's why us British like Britain despite the weather because a few minutes outside of every town and city are miles of countryside, forest and nature, similar to the scenery you've recently been passing through. The countryside is a big part of us.

[@ednorm6241]

Mad hype for you man! 👍 👍

[@Clarke1982]

Congrats Chad! Incredible inspiration. You inspire me to work harder and stay positive. I've been enjoying cruising distances with 85a wheels for some time but since following you I bought some 54mm 78a wheels and have been taking much longer rides.. nothing like what you are doing here in a day but even 8k or so is a good wee workout.. Especially when the roads are rougher or there are features to do small tricks on as you pass. Stoked you completed this and for a brilliant cause too. Best wishes to you from Scotland!
