Super stoked for him. That near miss on the last day though!
Gonna miss the daily updates.
Mad how no companies got on board with sponsoring him. Was all over the local news in a plain black shirt and painted black board. He should get free wheels and bearings for life surely.
Finally watched the last day. That final few miles with the escort was jokes

I’ve noticed posts in Chad’s Insta stories where he’s been sent a few parcels - one from adidas earlier this week and one from Dickies today.
Which is nice.

yeah its cool that they waited for him to become popular, get in the guiness book of records and be shown all over social media before supporting him 
he said he had reached out to a number of companies before doing the skate and they weren’t interested. i’ve got no new respect for them now that they wanna play

It’d be fucking ace if Chad called them out on it. Where were you fuckers when I needed you!!!

Kinda tight of Dickies seeing as Joeface who runs the Dickies skate thing is supposedly one of Chad’s best mates. You would have thought that they’d have kicked him down some threads before now, eh?
Apart from the Jackalope cap which almost never left his head 
Obviously I’ve never skated across a continent but I have spent a lot of time on expeditions around the world. I have specialist technical kit for pretty much every activity. Chad’s gear choices would not have been mine. I just thought as he insisted on living in a black hooded sweat the entire time that his mate could have helped him out.
Also, as someone who likes decent quality, well designed clothes, I hate Dickies, (and tbh most skate related clothing too), and wouldn’t touch anything they make with a barge pole myself. I don’t think you’d need to push 50 miles to decide that work wear is a poor choice of clothing. Just skating to the local shops in Dickies would be enough to ‘ skin you alive’ 
Really though I don’t care and I just fancied saying, ‘kick him down some threads’, for the sake of getting to use a Super Champion Funzone quote.

47 minutes… I like that.
Gonna watch it later.
I forgot what happened regarding industry support? Did anyone sponsor him?
What wheels was he riding? I would have thought they’d offer him a pro model considering how they held up for the entire trip.
Can’t wait to watch this.
I just ordered his book. Costs a pretty penny to ship to aus but I want it.
Thanks - watching this later.
He got fuck all. Oh, hang on, one of the Jacolope blokes put a Jacolope cap on his head at the start.
Watched a bit of the doco, alright actually, up until his wheels start to crater a little. Will likely finish it tonight.
