BREMERTON, Wash. (AP) — A Bremerton high school grad is getting ready to skate his longboard across the United States to Maine.
Nineteen-year-old Mark Chavez will be riding his longboard 30 miles a day for the next year. That’s his goal, anyway, in a planned 6,000 mile trip to promote peace, nonviolence and compassion.
The 2009 Olympic High grad plans to launch his trip Saturday from Evergreen Park in Bremerton. With only a backpack, longboard and helmet, Chavez will take to the highways and byways on his long skateboard.
