where in florida did he start?

[14degrees]

I started in Key West. Arrived there by yacht from the British Virgin Islands on the 9th of December 2007.

Did you ever get to coast down a massive hill for a long time?

[14degrees]

Longest downhill coast was 75km in the Gobi Desert in China. Bliss.

And is it even legal to skateboard on the shoulders of an interstate highway? Its hysterical if i see one walking his board whenever a road comes in on the highway

[14degrees]

By law no one is allowed to skateboard on any roads anywhere in the US. The law is that no vehicle with freewheeling hubs (no brakes) and with wheels smaller than 16 inches in diameter is allowed on the roads. That's what I was told when I started in Florida (I went to the local police station to ask). But they said that so long as I wasn't causing danger to myself or other traffic, I'd be fine. The interstate highways in Texas were fine, but not in Arizona or California - I got kicked off.

[14degrees]

Nah, not too much of that. Most officers were impressed by what I was doing. The only time was in Arizona on the I-10 freeway...but I can understand their concern on that one...too bad it was the only option for me.
