No rules, no fences and flat out fun. We thank those who, through sweat and dedication to their scenes, have created killer terrain for generations to come. Whether it be from DIY or skatepark builds, we’re stoked to ride that crete! This issue of Juice features some of those rad builders and skaters that rip gnarly terrain, along with historic skaters who paved the way, as well as revolutionary musicians and epic photographers. Thanks for doing what you do and keep ripping. Find it and grind it!“

Guinness World Record-holding skateboarder and author Chad Caruso will visit The Venice Waterfront on Thursday, May 1st, 5-10PM, for the first West Coast screening of his award-winning documentary, Across America, and to promote his highly anticipated photo book, Pushing Through America – featuring a foreword by skateboarding legend Tony Hawk.
The documentary, Across America, directed by filmmaker John Testa, provides a deeper look into Caruso’s passion for skateboarding and human connection. The film captures intimate moments from Caruso’s grueling daily push of more than 50 miles, weaving together his personal point of view with cinematic footage of his historic achievement. The screening will take place Thursday May 1st at The Venice Waterfront.
“Venice is where this whole thing started, so getting to finally premiere the film here feels long overdue. I’ve been looking forward to this one for a while.” recalls Caruso.
Caruso’s book, Pushing Through America, offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at his record-setting adventure skateboarding across the United States. Spanning 3,146 miles in just 57 days, his journey – from Venice Beach, California to Virginia Beach, Virginia, – captured the physical and emotional challenges of pushing his limits while inspiring others to pursue sobriety. Signed copies of Pushing Through America and exclusive signed photo prints will be available for purchase at Thursday’s event on May 1.
“Chad was determined to win the title for the fastest crossing of America on a skateboard (male). For 57 days, 6 hours and 56 minutes, he travelled from Venice Beach, CA to Virginia Beach, VA with nothing but a backpack and his board. Once he got there, he jubilantly flipped his board into the ocean.” said Guinness World Records. He also landed 50 tricks in 50 states and received a Guinness World Record for it.
Tony Hawk has endorsed Pushing Through America, connecting deeply with Caruso’s determination. Hawk shared, “Skateboarding is lucky to have him.” Hawk, who hosted Chad on his podcast Hawk vs Wolf, now displays Caruso’s well-worn skateboard in his personal collection, understanding the symbolic significance of the single board that carried Caruso across the country.
Join Chad Caruso: 38-year-old Long Island native, Guinness World Record holder, author of Pushing Through America, and star of Across America, for a book signing and film screening at The Venice Waterfront on Thursday, May 1st, 2025 at The Waterfront (205 Ocean Front Walk, Venice, CA). Discussion + Film Screening. Follow Chad on Instagram at @chad_caruso | Web: www.chadcaruso.com.
CITY IN CRISIS:
Juice Movie Night will also show 6-minute short film City in Crisis by Louis O’Flynn after Juice Talks.
“City in Crisis” is a short film that explores the decline of Dublin through the eyes of a skateboarder, as he navigates the city’s streets, back alleys, and concrete plazas. His journey reveals the harsh realities of defensive architecture, a worsening housing crisis, and the erosion of cultural spaces.
Louis O’Flynn is a DOP, photographer and filmmaker from County Wicklow, Ireland. His award-winning work for The Mix Dublin, the Irish Distillers’ global content studio for markets worldwide, has appeared everywhere, from NYC billboards to Sydney shopping malls and social feeds worldwide.

Louis is accustomed to working with A-list talent. As a social and BTS photographer/videographer on all of Jameson’s TV ads worldwide, he travelled to Johannesburg, the Dominican Republic, Nigeria, and London to work on set with leading talent, including Grammy-award-winning rapper TEMS, Oscar-nominated director Yorgos Lanthimos, and Golden Globe-winning actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson.
A long-form YouTube series shot by Louis featured Irish comedian and actor Aisling Bea in Dublin and sporting legend Shane Lowry in Florida, while a digital campaign featured hip-hop superstar Anderson.Paak.
Louis’s personal work focuses on subjects that are close to his heart. His short film on surfing, Medicine for the Mundane, was screened at festivals worldwide and won “Best Short” at the Jersey Film Festival and the “European Cinematography Award.” Check out “CITY IN CRISIS” trailer HERE
