They usually started out as a simple access road or the club is or was the only damned thing there. There’s a street near me called waterman because that’s where the water men worked the wells.
You can just step off the side of the road, even a bike could ride on gravel and minor road debris.
Rollerblades need near perfect surface to function. Even a rumble strip would push him closer to the road, and roller blades need a wider path that running or a bike. Even in a traffic lane would be difficult for long stretches.
Like, I’m trying to cut the guy some slack since he’s Norwegian, but if he was living in America he should have released this wasn’t really possible.
How does one even roller blade across the continental divide? I guess you could take I 10 thru thru the desert but that is equally crazy.
Well he was hit on “country club road”, doesn’t sound like an interstate. Even under Trump the USA hasn’t detoriated that far.
Every town I’ve lived in with a country club has a road named after it.

I mean there are people that ran across it. Some guy did it 5 times lol. Rollerblading doesn’t seem that bad by comparison.
Running would be safer…

Not even getting into the mountain/desert issue
You can run in dirt, rocks, and grass along the shoulder. You can only rollerblade on smooth surfaces like roads.
Also there’s tonnes of old access roads, trails, and even bushwhacking you could do as needed with hiking or running.
