My name's Gordon.

I'm from Broken Hill and I'm currently trying to skateboard from Melbourne to can't in order to raise money to build Wow, their first ever skate boat.

I just looked at the map and was like, Yeah, Melbourne two cans like it's totally doable.

I've got to do that.

I didn't realize how big Australia was.

I've never been anywhere on the coast before.

So all up it's about 208,000 kilometers.

You will take a 300 kilometers.

Yeah, this all kind of started last year.

We were in lockdown with Corona.

You know, I was like, getting brought in my job.

I wanted to get out.

I wanted to go into the century, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Nine liters of water with me, A bunch of fruit to mills.

Good attitude, beef jerky.

100 kilometers in front of me with no stops in between.

It's going to be 35 degrees.

There's loads of trucks and it's gonna be really hilly.

I'm gonna kill it.

Yeah, it's just a skateboard.

that I was comfortable using.

I've got a little bit bigger wheels that are a bit softer, so it's easier for me to sort of skateboard over rocks and things on the road.

But I'm on like my fifth pair of shoes because I'm going through a pair of shoes nearly every two weeks.

How about to walk?

Have a 50 kilometers today?

It's more than a marathon.

I am three quarters of the way there.

I've got 1000 kilometers left.

Yeah, it's just like the really, really long days and constantly under sudden dodging all the traffic from skating side by side with caravans, trucks and things like that.

And I'm constantly looking on the road for, you know, rocks and sticks and anything where I could like be in danger.

There is a huge Pathan.

It's just eating and say so, Yeah, mentally and physically, the most exhausting things.

That's New South Wales and thats Queensland.

Yeah, mhm.

See you during my journey.

I've met so many people along the way that have been putting me up for accommodation and making meals, and it's really like being the highlight of my trip.

Just meeting all these strangers and stuff and just they've been so kind to me.

And it's really it's really heartwarming, mhm.

There's so many kids over there that are skateboarding, and it's gaining so much popularity.

But there's there's nowhere safe for them to skateboard there, just skateboarding on the streets.

And I think it's an important thing that they should be able to have a safe place to escape.

So that's what I'm doing this for.

This is B e.

I am not the one.

Oh, do it.

Get on it to 100%.

I highly recommend it for anyone because it's totally doable and it's so much fun.

It's hard work, but it's really, really rewarding.

It's really, really cool.

Yeah, mhm.

Well, I'm throwing a massive, massive party.

Maybe the second thing I will do, though, after the party, I'm definitely going to get a foot massage for sure.
