How many skateboard wheels are needed for a 3000 mile trip?

[-] CarbonatedPastaSauce@lemmy.world 38 points 4 days ago

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.

Chad Caruso did it last year using just one set of wheels. New record too (57 days).

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.

How is he planning on getting back?

Also, won't his wheels wear out?

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 26 points 4 days ago

If someone thought it would take two weeks there would be no concern about wheels wearing out. They also wouldn't have the planning skills for a way home, becsuse how far could that be?

I'm assuming it is a parody account.
