Yo, so proud of our Long Island boy. Just saw a little something about your trip on news 12. Good luck my brutha. Wish I could do the ride with you. Stay safe, enjoy the sights, eat well drink lots of water and come home when you’re done. You got this. Let’s go!!!🤘🏼👊 My setup is simple. Landyachtz Ditch Life. 9” wide, 60mm cubby hogs. Nice smooth ride. Old man skateboard. Haha. Be safe out there don’t accept any wooden nickels. Hahaha
Working on mine right now! I’ve gone for a 9” popsicle deck, pair of 9” slappy hollows, bones reds, some 1/2 risers and OJ Juicy 60mm 78A wheels. Me and my mate have been watching your skate, congrats on completing it! It’s inspired us to plan a far more modest “skate the UK” which will be from Scotland to Lands End, more like 500 miles rather than 3,000!!
*Bones Super Swiss 6 bearings (SS6)* are fundamentally different from their famous Bones Swiss. Super Swiss have 6, 3/16 inch balls instead of 7, 5/32 inch balls. Thus, the SS6 balls are 20% larger and roll fewer times to go the same distance. Like bigger wheels on a car, they create less rolling friction and have a higher top speed. SS6's special design and Swiss quality materials enable it to accelerate quicker, roll faster, and resist the impact of skate trick landings better than standard designs.
My setup would also include a remote control and battery pack. I love that I got back into skating in the last couple years, but I've done a few miles of pushing and even on a smooth cruiser... it's BRUTAL! Good luck my friend, pace yourself and stretch!
My setup is currently 75mm 72a Mercer wheels on Venture Pudwill Hollow trucks, 1/4" Indy risers, and a BLX (Blox) local deck with astroturf skate grip. I literally built my current board from basically the deck in the backyard we used to serve cats' food on. The trucks were the last set from the ACE Hardware across the street. I was lucky to find the 75mm Mercers on Mercari. The main setup I often had when I was on the road was usually a Sector9 bamboo deck, Indy trucks, 1/4" risers, and countless sets of wheels. My Mercer 85mm are the color of the road, now and used to be what the 75mm set looks like with the see through red... The most durable and tested wheels I've ever owned aside from original Sector9 Soy Biothane 63mm. I have some old videos.... mrPint0Bean is my old channel I haven't posted to in a long time. Still have some memories on my "handle" channel for CZcams, though.
The wheels look so much smaller than they are in the videos and I thought that seemed really weird. Good to know you used your setup to optimise your comfort and efficiency to the max.
I’m actually a scooter rider, but following your journey, all I can think about is what my cross-country scooter setup would be (120mm Envy wheels on ceramic bearings, 6x23 deck, titanium 25” bars, and a really good backpack!). And of course, my the skateboard I got because riding scooter brought me close to the skateboarders at my park, I’m thinking of bigger wheels and taking a little bit of a distance push on the board.
Yocaher aluminum drop through board with 85mm Caguama Orangutang wheels and Gullwing Sidewinder II trucks, or a 38 inch Beercan Board with Orangutang 105mm Dad Bod Wheels with stiff Bear trucks. Those have been my boards for years and I haven't really stayed from that setup.
I would use RKP trucks for a smoother ride and add a shock absorbing rubber riser to further smooth things out. All the best Chad, its an epic of a challenge.
I would have the cushiest and thickest risers I could find for my feet and lower back!! For that same reason I skate Avenue suspension trucks! I think they make longboard trucks too that might suit that deck! Also, Good luck, man!!!
I’d have 2 setups. I’d have a flat egg shape with wider trucks and some longboard wheels for comfort then I’d carry my regular board with me so I could stop at spots on the way and skate them
I think the only thing I would change would be the trucks for some Avenue trucks just to absorb more of the vibrations when you start pushing on super rough ground.
I'm taking the Evo 40 Landyachtz deck with Boa 100mm wheels with black belly ceramic bearings and caliber 3 trucks. Loved your adventure!! You inspired me to do the same!
My set up would be Andy Andersons 9.13 flight deck with indy stage 11 169 hollow forged. Wheels would be 59mm bones rough riders with bones big balls berings. 1/8 risers.
Personally, I'd be longboarding. The board that I like to cruise with is a complete MBS All Terrain longboard. It has 100mm wheels, 190mm navigator trucks and it's drop deck is 10 plies of maple. The only thing that I changed were the bearings. I like using Rush Ceramic all weather bearings for my board setups.
Forreal I feel like this would be 1000x easier on a longboard lol. More annoying to carry around but you’d cover so much more distance with so much less energy
That's perfect you'd want a longboard that's somewhat of a regular skate. I'd get one with a fishtail. Seen a dude out in big sur with nothing but a board and backpack. Reminds me of this.
If I were making the trek I’d probably have to go with a 9.81” Mark Gonzales Krooked deck, mob grip, two sets of quarter inch risers, 64mm Powell dragon formula wheels, bones Swiss 6 balls, and at least 1.5” hardware! But, I’m not ballsy enough to make the trek. Hope you make it through unscathed and it’s one hell of an adventure! Cheers brother 👊🏼
Man if i could ride accros the country i immediately thought oh I'f want suspension trucks then i was like noo I'd want stability more because there are some crazy roads down there. I would choose a big ole deck like you did to feel nice and stuck to it, i would have to go with vicous grip tape because of how grippy it is i wouldn't want to lose a fight with speed wobbles half way through my trip. For the trucks i would ride some independent highs with bones hard bushings in them. For my bearings i wouldve also went with ceramics because of the rain and all the elements youd have to go through youd actually need ceramics or youd probably have to replace them alot. The wheel brand doesnt really matter much to me as long as theyre big and soft. Id probably go with mini logi because theyre cheap.
Mini-logo are actually really decent wheels. I personally choose them over other brands. Made in USA. Mini-logo also has a a "lift kit" for crusier boards and some of the best crusier wheels imo
Probably something similar, although I don’t think I’d go above 65 mm and I would have some kind of riser pad to absorb some shock. If they make those Dragons in that size I might give em a whirl. Maybe go with a shaped board and get back to my roots, although I would probably try out some different stuff. TBH I would never undertake a trip bid that magnitude unless I allowed myself 2-3X as long as you’re taking. I would also need several surgeries before I could do that or my ankles, knees and back would probably give out after a week. Curious about your backpack setup. Have you been over that?
Saw your vid on your wheels falling apart! Had bones rough riders with same sort of plastic inner. Mine were literally cracking and falling apart after half a year. Using OJs on my cruiser board now
i would use a double dropped longboard that would be 38"-40" long and 9-9.5 wide. a little less wide is nice because it makes ambidextrious skating easier. For trucks i think sabre longboard trucks with maybe 50 degree plates and more firmer bushings.. i might wedge/dewedge the trucks, which would be safe. for wheels id go with orangutan kegels. these are wicked wheels among the lot. for bearings id maybe stay cheap with zealous but ceramic bearings would be better. i remove inner sheilds if there are any, dab white lithium in the middle and use wd-40 on the balls and sheilds. the white lith moves outward and forms a nice gunksheild. The wd-40 is like a laxative for it to work well. the dropped thru deck would have risers placed between the baseplate and deck to Lower the deck. ("double drop") a little bottle of chlroseptic, benzedrex, bleach powder, blistex are items i would pack. also creatine, multivitamin, and a good needle and good thread and light sizzors.
Yoooo can I join u on ur trip? I want to do the same thing literally. Would probably be leaving from NJ to Cali. Deff have to have the perfect most comfortable set up for this trip I've been thinking about it.
Would you sell that set up? Would be cool to have a set up that made it across the country. Gotta keep all original replaced parts as well lol I’m down to buy it. IT’s history 🤗 also maybe seismic can sponsor the next one
Hope you got more than just that one board, one set of wheels, and bearing. Im guessing you'll need several of each. I'd go with a long board if i was you or at least some bigger wheels.
I would go with some 1/16 inch(the thinnest one) gummy risers on that cruiser, especially if you are going so far. I would also go a little old school on the deck, probably the Lance Mountain pool deck remake. Perhaps more importantly- how much backup hardware to bring?
#1 flatter board(your feet gonna get sore bending backwards in the concave) #2 use truck spacers(vibration is going to destroy the deck faster if its directly touching metal) #3 those wheels are horrible for long distance a. The 'rim' in that wheel is going to de-laminate really fast b. The diameter is too small, push to roll ratio is horrible c. The durometer should be softer I do alot of long distance skates, my setup currently: 46"x9.25" blank pintail deck(black) Mob grip tape 1/4" riser pads 10" Sector 9 gullwing charger trucks Centrax 83mm 80a wheels Reds bearings Ace hardware ..cost about 200 but it is the ultimate in long distance skates
My set up would look like a Mercury Grand Marquis 😂 best of luck on this new adventure man!
hahhaha gold !
My set up would be a 2022 Toyota Tacoma lol
A honda civic will get you there and back.... no problems
What kinda bearing doh? 😂
That one looks nice. I may would have added some soft risers.

1 or 2 shock pads may can help with less vibration
密着感あって良いwheelと付属品等と思います💪
What they look like before you took the trip those wheels are legendary
Evo LDP setup. 0deg in the rear, 55-60 front. Seismics or Caguamas.
Mfer did it, like a champ.
i would use a double dropped longboard that would be 38"-40" long and 9-9.5 wide. a little less wide is nice because it makes ambidextrious skating easier.
For trucks i think sabre longboard trucks with maybe 50 degree plates and more firmer bushings.. i might wedge/dewedge the trucks, which would be safe.

for bearings id maybe stay cheap with zealous but ceramic bearings would be better. i remove inner sheilds if there are any, dab white lithium in the middle and use wd-40 on the balls and sheilds. the white lith moves outward and forms a nice gunksheild.

the dropped thru deck would have risers placed between the baseplate and deck to Lower the deck. ("double drop")
a little bottle of chlroseptic, benzedrex, bleach powder, blistex are items i would pack. also creatine, multivitamin, and a good needle and good thread and light sizzors.
For wheels that big you need some risers or else you’ll be getting wheel bite. Especially if your trucks are on the looser end
Nice setup!
I would do a dinghy raft with orangatang wheels upgraded ceramic bearings I would probably use a skateboard backpack as well
That's awesome mate good stuff 🤌
i got 83a cant even imagine how fast you fly with those 73s on
add risers the wheel bite may cook you unless you got tight trucks
Exactly like that
9.5 antihero, indy’s no bushings, spitfire 99a wheels bronson ceramic bearings
Half of a that board could get me around the world 😅
I would have to have pneumatic tires… you’re a beast man.

Yoooo can I join u on ur trip? I want to do the same thing literally. Would probably be leaving from NJ to Cali. Deff have to have the perfect most comfortable set up for this trip I've been thinking about it.
You should add skid plates.
This looks like a perfect setup, You got some fishy looking board. Very cool thought.
You just got one more follower my boy 👇

I haven't done any training but I'd like to join
Gotta go ceramic on the long distance! do a bearing teardown afterwords! or maybe FKD would take the bearings back and examine them after 3000+ miles.
honestly id use a long board.
my setup would like pretty close
I would have an off road, long board, eboard 😆
OUT ON THE WATER
WHERE YOUR GONNA FIND ME!!
Hope you got more than just that one board, one set of wheels, and bearing. Im guessing you'll need several of each. I'd go with a long board if i was you or at least some bigger wheels.
This video is from a few months ago, this setup made it 3,000+ miles across America without changing out anything
I would go with some 1/16 inch(the thinnest one) gummy risers on that cruiser, especially if you are going so far.
I would also go a little old school on the deck, probably the Lance Mountain pool deck remake.
Perhaps more importantly- how much backup hardware to bring?
At least some riser pads ? Soft wheels , can’t go wrong ! Maybe take it to 60mm with risers .
Hell yea brother
#1 flatter board(your feet gonna get sore bending backwards in the concave)
#2 use truck spacers(vibration is going to destroy the deck faster if its directly touching metal)
#3 those wheels are horrible for long distance
a. The 'rim' in that wheel is going to de-laminate really fast
b. The diameter is too small, push to roll ratio is horrible
c. The durometer should be softer

Mob grip tape
1/4" riser pads
10" Sector 9 gullwing charger trucks
Centrax 83mm 80a wheels
Reds bearings
Ace hardware
..cost about 200 but it is the ultimate in long distance skates
