POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

So much has happened since we recorded this, and it’s crazy to think it’s only been about a year. I wanted to let the video breathe for a while, and looking back now, I’m reminded of how much can change in such a short time.

Knowing it’s being shown in schools across America is honestly one of the most exciting and inspiring parts of all of this. When I get messages or emails from people who connect with my story, it reminds me this is bigger than just painting murals. It makes me feel like I’m doing something meaningful, and I’m really grateful for that.

Thank you, Natural High, for giving me that space. Working with you all was such a wonderful experience, and being surrounded by people who genuinely care about making a difference meant a lot. Sadly, since filming, I lost a friend I spoke about during my interview. Watching it now brings up a lot. Sharing this again is my way of reflecting on my journey, remembering my friend, and honoring the experiences that shaped me. It also feels like the right moment to look back, appreciate how far we’ve come, and get ready for the next chapter of Ground Floor Murals.

I’m incredibly thankful for all the people, opportunities, and collaborations along the way. Thank you to everyone involved, everyone who’s reached out, and everyone who continues to support what I do.

Here’s to another year of art, growth, meaningful connections, hard work, and collaborations throughout our city and beyond. Much love, and as always, stay grounded. ♥️

This Skate across America livestream project was one of those ideas that pops in your mind and just doesn’t leave. I tried ignoring it for a while but the more I tried to the more it reeled me in.

Halfway through this I was faced with a few serious injuries that left me unable to see a version of this trip where I made it to the finish. I told myself that if I could stand up, then I could roll. Somehow after two weeks of brutal pain, it started to fade a bit and I was able to drag myself to the finish.

Bringing this into existence took everything I had and I am forever grateful to anyone who helped me do so. Thank you @adorama & @lastxwitness for believing in the mission before anyone else did.

This recap post feels impossible to complete because I received so much help and support along the way that I don’t think I’ll ever be able to name everyone and fully articulate how much it all meant to me.

Thank you all.
Chad

What a journey it’s been to watch @chad_caruso push from Venice Beach CA to Jacksonville FL. Seeing @clydesingleton push along at the end along with a gang of other people!
Inspirational as fuck to say the least!

I had a chance to meet up with @chad_caruso this morning as he made his way through Tempe on his skateboard trip across America. That’s right, Chad is literally skating across the US, and doing it on a normal skateboard, not a longboard.

And if that somehow wasn’t bad ass enough already, this is his SECOND time doing it. Back in 2023, he set a Guinness World Record by skating 3,100 miles across the country in just 57 days.

This time around, he’s skating in support of @naturalhighlive to help raise awareness for drug prevention for kids. Very cool!

Chad was on a pretty tight schedule so I didn’t want to slow him down too much, but I was able to grab a couple shots while he rolled through town. There were a few local guys skating with him too, and honestly it made me really want to grab my board out of the truck and join them for a while. Unfortunately, I’m pretty much only built for mellow cruising on perfectly smooth skatepark concrete these days.

Anyways, definitely give Chad a follow and show him some support on the journey! Back to cars tomorrow!

Meet @chad_caruso, on May 1 he is attempting to skate across the United States in just 30 days. From San Diego, CA to Jacksonville, FL, Chad is taking on one of the most physically and mentally demanding endurance feats imaginable.

Chad is using this as a platform to raise awareness and funds for Natural High, a nonprofit dedicated to inspiring and empowering youth to live drug-free by finding their natural highs—those passions and pursuits that give life meaning, energy, and purpose.

In 2023, Chad completed a solo transcontinental skate in 57 days, setting a world record. This time, he’s aiming to nearly cut that in half—averaging around 100 miles a day.

With a two-person support crew operating out of a Storyteller CREW MODE, Chad has a mobile basecamp for lodging, filming, and refueling—maximizing every mile verses solo hunting for food and hotels daily.

Pushing through exhaustion, chasing something bigger than himself, and full committing to a goal is the embodiment of a natural high. It’s proof that fulfillment doesn’t come from shortcuts. It comes from challenge, passion, and seeing it through.

The greatest journeys aren’t just about where you end up—They’re about what you stand for along the way.

Follow Chad’s journey as he live streams on YouTube and donate to Natural High at the link in our bio. We’ll be posting updates throughout his trip!

Your Teen is hearing about 4/20? Do you know what to say?

You don't need a big talk. Just a quick conversation!

✅ Ask what they're hearing
✅ Say what matters clearly
✅ Hell the plan for pressure

Save this so you have it when the moment comes!

This talk can happen anytime of the year 🙂
