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.

Just go faster. I don't get it.

Paint the skateboard red if you have to.

Add a stripe. Maybe some speed holes.

Paint a tunnel on the side of the mountain. Easy.

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.

If he’s illiterate we don’t need to call him dumb

Also allegedly the Rockies, not all mountains… we hope

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 18 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

Though lack of research because you can't read is a bit of a speed bump in the whole "doing research" process

[-] med@sh.itjust.works 1 points 10 hours ago

Maybe this is explained somewhere if I could be bothered to research it, but how can he be actually illiterate?

He has an instagram account. How is he reading anything to do with it if he's illiterate? Sub numbers, password resets, comments? How would he even know people are watching if he can't read numbers?

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 7 points 2 days ago

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.

[-] parody@lemmings.world 3 points 1 day ago

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

Little tiny baby speedbump
