Cant seem to find this dude on ig, there are just too many that tried to cross the usa with a board.

Does someone have a link to this specific persons ig? That would be great, thanks.

Thanks for the detective work! I know TTS software is a thing now, but he even has a gmail account... How (un)likely is it that it's just a publicity stunt (money grab)?

What are you using to take that screenshot? It looks like a phone but the aspect ratio is like a square

To the dude's credit, he appears to be still at it, skateboarding across the country. He apparently posted a 'day 50' video.

So it sounds to me like whoever made that post did him dirty.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

It didn't say he gave up. Maybe we all did him dirty in how we interpreted that description.

I'm not great at this, but from the original x post, I think his handle is @jaayfilms

The news report video says he dropped out of HS. I couldn't find where he got that he's illiterate, thought this would take two weeks and didn't know about the mountains... But I honestly didn't dig much after haha. If someone else finds it, please let me know. I just want to read that comment thread haha
