Wheel deal : Traversing thousands of kilometers on a skateboard

Skateboarders across the globe have a new challenger from New Zealand and this lad would make them jittery for sure. Skateboarding is a pretty cool sport, but things don’t get easy, if you plan to conquer 12,000 kilometers on that almost flat board with four minuscule wheels. Rob Thompson didn’t just conquer that distance on a skate-board; he interestingly fought all the way through the stretch without assistance from any support staff. It took Rob, 462 days and a kitty full of gusto to achieve the feat, but he was determined not to give up. Check out the video after the jump.
