I'm not great at this, but from the original x post, I think his handle is @jaayfilms

The news report video says he dropped out of HS. I couldn't find where he got that he's illiterate, thought this would take two weeks and didn't know about the mountains... But I honestly didn't dig much after haha. If someone else finds it, please let me know. I just want to read that comment thread haha

How many skateboard wheels are needed for a 3000 mile trip?

[–] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 38 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Not many sites seem to deal in distance when talking about replacing skateboard wheels, but I was able to find this:

https://skateboardscan.com/skateboard-wheels-last/

So according to that he'd need 10-30 sets of skateboard wheels to cross the country.

Of course if you're just riding on the side of highways in a straight line forever you could probably get a little more out of them since you're not doing any precision work or tricks.

Chad Caruso did it last year using just one set of wheels. New record too (57 days).

Not so sure. A road surface tends to be rougher pavement than sidewalks or skate parks. I'd imagine the side of a highway chewing those parkboard wheels away at record rates.

I'm honestly kinda shocked anyone attempting this wouldn't use a longboard with some chonkier wheels.
