2) i (tristan) have a backpack, josh is making a trailerboard to attach to his longboard
3) back roads, skating highways is illegal
4) the surroundings, our men and women overseas, politics, pirates, whether or not truck stops are good places to shower etc.
5) sleep= either camping 100+ yards form the road or maybe a couch or hotel eat= granola of powerbars or something for breakfast and lunch, then a big dinner at a fast food or restraunt. blog= anywhere we can get either wifi or access to a computer poop= anywhere but our pants ipod charge= havent figured it out yet, maybe just charge them every few days when we stop to rest for a bit
Have you done any research into long distance traveling?
How many miles per day are you expecting?
Can you skateboard in the rain?
Some more info on the skateboard trailer would be nice.
What is your age and background?
How much do you expect this trip to cost?
Why did you choose the route you chose?
Can you really skateboard for miles going up thousands of feet? And on the flip side, can you really glide on a board for miles going down thousands of feet (which sounds fun but scary)?
How often will your wheels wear out and have to be replaced?
ReplyDeleteHow will you carry all your stuff?
Highways or back roads?
What do you think about on those long days?
Where will you sleep/eat/blog/poop/charge your ipod?

ReplyDelete2.) Trailerboard, eh? Do you have a pic? Post it, I'd love to see!
4.) I'm glad you remembered pirates. I was losing sleep worrying that you might forget to think about pirates!
5.) Sounds like you have your bases covered!
Good luck!
Well the trailer board was a mere idea, Ive lost faith in it so im sticking to a backpack now
