[@ryanhingorani4019]

the dude on the bike with his kid, the kid with the drone, the crazy dude with the golf cart, the rad lady with the longboard, the cop on a skateboard, that whole skateshop crew... all these different characters coming together to support one dude on a skateboard. I seriously got emotional and so stoked at the same time watching that final push with the street full of people cheering you on. Truly a historical moment for skateboarding, im not even exaggerating.

[@idmhead0160]

Don't forget the woman that gave him the good luck rock a few days earlier

[@DEVOn.A.Skertic]

The cop on the skateboard, I want that on a shirt.

Ya Mon what he said 👆 ! An Epic finish with Amazing people. All for a great dude with a cause! Great job Chad!! You rock🤘

[@djpeteyc]

Man you nailed this!

[@pricemleonard]

Alright Chad we gotta skate from Vermont to Baja

[@Puxto1]

So it wasn't just me that got emotional watching this then, seeing everyone riding along at the end, skateboarding is a family, and we are all in awe of you Chad.

[@alexclint5638]

Man, this is like a real movie. A movie which actually happened and went on for 57 days. The end is out of a script. Just perfect. Made me cry. Humanity is still out there. Awesome!

[@Asasonthegod]

Yo dude yes

[@tanneraitken3768]

They should totally make a movie about this

[@niklashave2005]

Honestly, I think Chad might be the most mentally healthy and balanced person I’ve ever seen. Such a positive outlook on life, while being super reflective and thoughtful of both his own thoughts and others. Love that he is just himself and just meets people with positive energy without preaching a certain truth. A true inspiration!

[@noneya4144]

I’ve never seen someone deliver bad news with a smile like him before. Amazing

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

Biggest takeaway from this: we should all be so grateful to be part of the skateboarding community. There's really nothing like it

Felt like some kind a grand historic full circle of skateboarding, seeing the police dude skating along, and police escort, and people clearing the road for a skater. People of all ages joining in. Man, we've come a long ways 😄

This is a great comment bro. Made me tear up a little.=]

[@swingsloth]

I'm a 44 year old Australian male who's going through some tough times at the moment, and your strength, resilience and tenacity has me in tears. The positivity you've brought to so many people you'll never truly be able to comprehend mate. From one bloke to another, thanks for being you, and thanks for showing so many people what some dedication and a little bit of craziness can achieve.

[@megaflux7144]

i think Nietzsche had a word for the disillusionment that an adult in their 40s goes through about how they imagined the world would turn out as a child vs. how it really is, i have long since forgotten the word though (and i dont speak german). i think a LOT of us (40somethings) are going through that though. dont be afraid to reach out, nobody is alone and not every conversation NEEDS to end in a solution, sometimes just the conversation itself can do a world of good.

As bad as the world gets there is so much positivity. As backwards as this sounds the dark outshines the light but there is so much light and positivity out there. Skateboarding is strong connection. An example of how the world should be.

We all rolled along with you whether u felt it or not. Congratulations Chad you deserved all the people who came out for you and more. Props homie. NGL I cried a few 😭 tears

[@jayzayproductions5454]

I’m so sad that the daily vlogs are officially no longer :( I started watching daily on day 5 when I saw the “ran out of water in the desert” video in my feed. And that was almost 2 whole months ago. I remember my first thought being that there was simply NO WAY he would pull this thing off. But once he made it through Texas, I began to realize it was very possible. So proud of this guy overcoming such an insane challenge.

[@peteonretreat2023]

I wasn’t expected to cry during this… but as you added skater by skater, golf cart by golf cart to your parade through town… that love and support got me. 😢

[@vg4917]

Chad has the patience of a saint stopping and talking with everyone wow such a people person and it made everyones day

[@Dylanhennessy]

Remember, if you liked this journey go back and watch his 50 tricks in 50 states in 50 days challenge. Chad is another kind of beast, he's built for this type of thing and we are all better for getting to bear witness.
