Apparently, Chad Caruso set the Guinness world record as the first person to skateboard across America in 2023, from Venice Beach to Virginia Beach. It took him 57 days to cover 3,162 miles, adventure adventure of 55 miles a day.

That's actually not nearly as long as I would've expected. Pretty impressive.

He kicked the mountains and then flipped them off, they felt so disrespected they moved north and waited until he had passed them.

Rob Thomson skated across the US starting in 2006. Also from Switzerland to China.
