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

“If Forrest Gump can do it, so can I”
Gump didn't even have a skateboard
From the sound of it, the skateboarding guy must have never watched Forrest Gump. He would have known it would take more than 2 weeks, just by seeing Gump's beard grow.

How many skateboard wheels are needed for a 3000 mile trip?
Chad Caruso did it last year using a single setup for the whole trip, so 4..

I love that this has happened before and recent enough that it can be compared to this dude's trip. Great find.

Fun fact: mountains are big.
Not-so-fun fact: He'll have to be rescued with taxpayer money
Boring fact: The highest pass he'll have to cross on his journey looks like this:
If he'll have to be rescued, then because someone ran him over.
Could also get snowed in somewhere or unable to get to shelter during a major storm.
I mean he should get to the East Coast around 70 days from now, what are the chances he'll see snow before January 30th. Guess he can turn around and ride back through the Appalachian Mountains in February. No snow there right?

Another fact: Society failed to educate him properly using taxpayer money.
Perhaps society deserves to face the consequences of its actions.
I agree with you and have even more to add -
Even more fun fact - the taxpayer money that will likely eventually be used to rescue this person, potentially saving their life, is an infinitesimal waste compared to so very many other things. I'm not ever going to shame someone or expect them to be billed/prosecuted/etc for their rescue unless they criminally broke the law in order to arrive at that state. (and maybe not even then)
What about small mountains tho
You keep your mouth shut
How is he planning on getting back?
Also, won't his wheels wear out?
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.
I'm assuming he's gunna wind up dead in Colorado like that lady who drank all the colloidal silver
If he ever decides to try to find a way around the Rockies this will become even more interesting
