Earlier this year a monumental moment happened when Chad Caruso skated 3,162 miles across the country, from Venice Beach, CA to Virginia Beach, VA in 57 days.
His mission was solo, just him, a backpack of snacks, water, and tools, and his trusty steed… his skateboard. Documenting his entire journey on YouTube, Chad quickly became a bright light for people everywhere, a Forrest Gump sorta movement if you will.
By the time his trip was over his board, the thing that brought him from coast to coast had some serious wear to it looking like rats chewed at the wheels for days and the board falling from a city skyscraper yet somehow not breaking.
Tony Hawk met up with Chad to talk about the board, his experience, and shockingly to buy the skateboard for his own collection. Tony even gave the thing a rip on his vert ramp, check it out below!
