      I mean that’s just an argument of semantics. Either way there’s no question they threw “homeless” in the title because that’s what the “free spirited individual” trend is.

      Awesome dude! You reminded me of the time (5 years ago) when I drove cross country hitting up skateparks. I am from Virginia and I was working on oil rigs in Texas/New Mexico and my sister was living in San Diego, CA. I went to several skateparks when I was in Texas and New Mexico and when I had my two weeks off, I hit up skateparks on the way to my sisters place in CA and back to Texas and then when I resigned, I hit up a bunch of skateparks from Texas to Virginia. I had a blast. It was a really cool experience both the skateparks and the driving sceneary.

    In 1977 I graduated from high school me and two friends drove from Ma to the west coast to rock climb, we lived in our tents for the summer. I did this for a few years and then I settled down and worked full time until I was in my late 50s I am now 60 in good shape and back at it. This time hiking, mt biking and skiing. If you take care of yourself you can hit it much longer than you think. All of my friends are still hitting it and we all love the road.

One meal a day, sleeping on a tent, not knowing where or when my next meal will comes from, notnknowing who i am going to meet next, living simply; all that is possible when yhere is the Will to do so. And that, is a Gift. A True Gift. Greatful to see how Humans are beginning to come back on this Earth full of Men.

In the last ten years I've been to all 50 states, and 17 countries. I probably didn't work but a year out of that whole time. Never once did I think to bring my bmx (I was backpacking). I've been in spots that I borrowed a bmx but far and few. Good for you bro

      BMX legends are Mirra, Hoffman, DMC, Cranmer. Not some guy who placed 15th in some random skatepark contest and can upload BMX videos.
