Adam Colton skates across South America

Wednesday January 7, 2009
Adam Colton (you might know him from his Longboard Dancing trick tips, from all his work with Loaded, or from Adam Squared productions) took off on Monday to skate South America. This trip follows skating across America, then Europe, and the last trip was across New Zealand.

For this trip, Adam plans to take only what he can carry, and skate through Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile ... he'll be skating around South America until March 18th. Personally, I think he's nuts! But I'm also jealous, and very impressed. You can read all about his trip, and his previous adventures, on his website - WhoIsAdamColton.com. He talks about his inspiration for this trip, the precautions he's taking, and an itemized list of everything he'll be carrying. It's a pretty intense list - if you've ever thought of doing something similar, you might get some inspiration from Adam's adventures.

If you've done anything similar, skateboarding long distances or through remarkable countryside, drop a comment below and tell us about it!

I really like watching Adam Colton, Chris Yandall, and Dan Gezmer skateboard. The dance moves and board control are impressive. I added a couple more videos from http://www.skogging.com with Chris Yandall and 4 wheels down with Dan Gezmer. The first time I saw Dan Gezmer’s dance routine was in 1984 in Dayton Oh at a pro skateboard contest . We had never seen anything like it at the time, and the crowd was very impressed with his dance and strength moves
