сделать краткий пересказ! On 22 January 2007, Dave Cornthwaite from Wales became the first
person to ride a skateboard across Australia. He
set a new world record by riding a skateboard
for a total of 5,823 kilometers. In 2003, Jack Smet, a former
champion, drove a total of 4,830 kilometers across the United States.
Dave's journey began in Perth and ended in Brisbane,
travelling an average of 60 kilometres a day. It took
him five months, 13 pairs of shoes, and more than a dozen tubes
of sunscreen. He went through a big physical
pain is pain, and he is very sore on his feet.
If Dave didn't believe in sote fulfilling his dream,
none of this would have happened. Dave quit his job two
weeks after he bought a skateboard and decided to go on a
trip. He wanted this trip to be something like
more than great for him, and so he created the Boardfries, a group
of people who raised money for charitable causes. "If
people follow my journey and make donations, then I
do a lot of good things for a lot of people," Dave said. In this
journey there were plenty of many difficulties. He was traveling
in the Australian desert, where the temperature reached 48°C during the day and
0°at night. He had a serious injury in Adelaide when he jumped
on a piece of metal that cut his heel. He also had a nasty fall down a hill where he banged his head hard on the pavement and twisted his ankle. Dave helped to raise more than £50,000 (€74,000) for children’s charities, wrote a book and motivated others to follow in his footsteps. I wish we had more people like him leading the way!
