People have been using various transportation methods to travel from one corner of the world to another. They range from busses, vans, cycles and even autorickshaws. But now a man has accomplished the same thing on a skateboard. Yes, you read that right! Professional skateboarder Ritik Kratzel was on a mission with his skateboard and one tiny backpack in India. He began his journey on his skateboard from Manali and went all the way to Kanyakumari. He managed to complete his extraordinary trip within 100 days.
Mr Kratzel documented his entire journey on Instagram. He posted several videos showing his present location, and his followers showered him with love and support. In his clips, Mr Kratzel shared his views on various things he encountered. From Google Maps not working to dense fog engulfing highways, the journey has undoubtedly been difficult for the skateboarder.
