Two weeks, huh? The US is around 3,000 miles from coast to coast, so that puts him over 200 miles skateboarding every single day... I'm not sure, but the person who didn't know mountains exist might be dumb.
200miles/8hours of skating straight means an average speed of 25 miles an hour.
Ambitious, considering the average speed of a skateboarder is closer to 10 miles an hour, but it could be possible if he was extremely fit, had unbreakable bones, and the US was a flat plane for 3000 miles like this guy thought.
Just go faster. I don't get it.
Paint the skateboard red if you have to.
Add a lightning bolt. Kachow!
Add a stripe. Maybe some speed holes.
Go faster stripes FTW!
he should have invest in a big red firework like the coyote
Paint a tunnel on the side of the mountain. Easy.

If he’s illiterate we don’t need to call him dumb
Also allegedly the Rockies, not all mountains… we hope
I doubt he is being labelled "dumb" due to being illiterate.
Doing no research prior to setting out is a great reason to call him dumb.
Though lack of research because you can't read is a bit of a speed bump in the whole "doing research" process
Yes, but people 40 years ago managed. Youtube and a friend that can read. Hell asking random strangers their opinions on what the challenges of skateboarding across the country are.
People 200 years ago managed.
It's extremely dumb to just go out cross country with zero knowledge though.
You’re not wrong!
I will say, I learned stuff like that to be a good idea through a productive education system which also helped me learn to read
