Rob Thomson skated across the US starting in 2006. Also from Switzerland to China.

That's actually not nearly as long as I would've expected. Pretty impressive.

how did he skate up and over the Rockies?

He kick flipped real hard

He kicked the mountains and then flipped them off, they felt so disrespected they moved north and waited until he had passed them.
