Clint Carrick In the summer of 2018, Clint Carrick set out on a solo cross-country journey to regain his bearings on a skateboard and in his life. Years after putting aside his wheeled childhood love and obsession, and facing what he called his quarter-life identity crisis, the then-27-year-old spent a month zigzagging the United States in a 97 Saab and skateboarding in small-town skateparks. In all, Carrick logged more than 2,000 miles and visited nearly two dozen skateparks on a circuitous route through such places as Keene, N.H.; Berryville, Ark.; Roswell, N.M.; and Las Vegas. Along the way he met dozens of fellow skaters and flexed his atrophied muscle memories of sidewalk surfing.
