Even more impressive, he did this on hubs w/thin urethane. And this was his 5th cross country skateboard excursion. 
Looks like he was riding an Inboard, but other articles showed him with an Evolve at the beginning. Crazy.

This makes me want to do a cross-country Cannonball style race. Who can get from Dupont Circle in Washington DC to the pier in Santa Monica the fastest

We should get him here, and we all chip in to build him a board that’ll go a 100 miles per charge!

What about “inner state” style? Spend 2-4 days traveling the state to different places. Set the way points, provide charging @ way points. Hit each way point in order. Some way points would be charge only and others would be chill and charge (race breaks for entertainment and resting/sleeping). Next day starts the race again @ previous intervals. First one to last way point wins…

kind of sounds like ragnar, it’s 200 miles running split in teams.
this would take a massive time commitment and masters level planning.
get to it @J0ker3366

A van hooked up with a bunch of extra generators connected to the drive so could charge a bunch of extra car batteries and then use them to charge boards w lipo or iron batteries at 20 amps and backrolling quickly sounds nice. If u wanted to do cross country.
But having a car following is hard to find but a super fast charger and a Starbucks w a huge allowable current draw and could go solo. Maybe a panhandling permant sign to pay for snacks along the way. And bring your tent and go for free. No planning. I bet people would come up on u while riding and fill your cup w money to support you continuing.
Anyone write the guy and ask him to tell the story n take questions here? Maybe we should skip him and ask his wife! I’ll write him if no one does
I wrote n linked him to this thread.

You’d need to use a Koastal Drifter deck for that or a Hamboard
