How many skateboard wheels are needed for a 3000 mile trip?
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.
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.
Oh, he's probably thinking he can stay on the sidewalk most of the way.
I'm not sure how he even got as far as the Rockies since there's a desert you have to get through first.
I don't think anyone who lives in the US would be dumb enough to think they can find sidewalks along anywhere they might want to go without a car.
Yeah, that was the joke
