shoes had to be changed nine times
A. Juška told me where to go the hardest and most unsafe and where he would be happy to return.
– How do you feel after returning after 11 months of travel? Did you manage to recover?
– I would like to start with the fact that I don’t feel hero. I am a bearingwho seeks dreams to the end. Such a description would be the best. I feel great, nostalgia is back because everything is just as I left. The feeling as if I hadn’t left anywhere, but that time is big. I was very kindly greeted me. A very funny feeling to come back.
– You say it’s not a hero, but people call it that way. There are many skateboarding for 11 months. Say how many kilometers did you visit, how many countries?
– I visited 30 countries, the exact number of kilometers – 14 thousand. 49. I tried to drive from 50 to 100 kilometers a day. The journey took 306 days and the recorded days of driving were 217. The next day I spent rest, tidying a skateboard or waiting for a storm.

– How did the ride itself go? How many pairs of shoes did you need? Did you go with one skateboard?
– Yes, she withstood the whole trip, I am very happy. In some places, the sides began to translate and be worn, but most importantly, it withstood.
– Did you withstand shoes?
– Here’s a bigger problem – I changed my shoes nine times, I came back with 10 pairs. I also changed the wheels and the sanding coating. I drove with a skateboard everywhere, sometimes not too paved roads. If I had a situation where I had to reach one place or another through the motorway so that I wouldn’t have to drive 50 kilometers or more, I would usually go to the sidewalk.
– What was the hardest way? Mountains or hill?
– The hardest part is that there are no brakes, which is why pairs of shoes were so often changed – almost monthly. I really liked it, it was very difficult, but I miss them. When I came to the plain, I could go more, but it is much more interesting when it is difficult to get up, you see a beautiful image and then descend. If there are no machines – you can get all the way, it feels very good. The Portuguese roads were quite difficult because they were old, paved with stones, more walking than driving. It is also a more difficult situation in countries with fewer bicycle paths because they must always be monitored. You need to be careful, you always have to keep your balance.

– You avoided more serious injuries, but wasn’t the start with a difficult with simple bruises? There were no blisters?
– Yes, it was, even on the last day. How interesting the human mind works – this is how I focused on the road that I didn’t even feel that the bladder rubs my legs. But these were probably the biggest problems when I needed to set the most, stop pain, not feel it, to think that I do not feel that I can travel. Often there were cases where I had no choice to travel from one place to another otherwise, no matter what the weather or road conditions were. It was the case that I had to travel 50-60 kilometers with the rubbed heel.
– Because such a goal was drawn?
– Yes, or I rented the premises somewhere, so I had to travel.
– Where would you be happy to go back?
– Probably where many bicycle paths are probably to Denmark or Holland because it was very nice there. Only there are already bikes starting to disturb or I start to interfere with them.
– And where would you not want to come back?
– Bosnia. It is unsafe and the roads are still very poor there.
