Morro Bay Skateboard Museum owner Jack Smith, 59, has called off his “ride an electric skateboard across America” fundraising effort after rolling through only two states in seven days, according to a story the San Luis Obispo Tribune.
Jack Smith had planned to become the first person to ride an electric skateboard across the country, when he left on his trip two weeks ago from Florence, Oregon. . . After traveling for seven days, however, he ended his journey on Sept. 21 in Mountain Home, Idaho, about 45 miles from Boise, out of fear he might be hit by a passing vehicle.
Don’t think it would have taken us seven days on the road to figure that out, but then we haven’t skateboarded across the country four times like Smith has.
