Blind Skateboarder

OK, I picked that stuff straight from Digg but I think that's sick enough to duplicate the post there as well. So, Tony Hawk met and interviewed a blind skateboarder. The kid is very surprising, he does a bunch of tricks that other kids at my park don't even do. So, say what you think about that. Personally I think it's super great to see people like that who doesn't give up and keep pushing the limits. Pretty much like Marc-Andre Beliveau, it did made my day when I saw him have some powder faceshots after his accident.

Pretty damn incredible. That kids got heart that's for sure. It must be some kind of wild sensory experience to ride a halfpipe blind. You can tell he has a great time doing it, and actually he doesn't look too bad at it.

wow that is awesome. seems like he is really cool, and has a good sense of humor about it all. i used to skate a little before, and he could do a few things a definitely couldn't do. that is really amazing.

Imressive, what people can do, if they really want. I could not immagine how it must be, if you go off the board at the coping, and dive into the ramp, not knowing when you hit the base.
