Yeah, it’s not [r/meatcrayon](r/meatcrayon)

I’d have said something about nsfw or whatever if it wasn’t so… positive.

Also: don’t go to that sub if you don’t want to see gross wipeouts

Yeah this is ridiculous. As if any of this is harder or less amazing with a helmet.

As if skating goofy-footed wasn't hard enough. Sheesh!

Goofy is only harder if it isn't your natural stance. If you're naturally goofy, skating regular is the awkward one.

Hah I got told that all the time I am right hand dominant for literallt everything, except skateboards and hockey sticks, I always found my dominant hand side was better for control than power

That cane is probably bent from him fucking face planting, and yet here he is. What a fucking champion.

He’s visually impaired and uses his cane to navigate the bowl while skating. The control is seriously impressive.

Saw one video he went over a ramp and BAM. All the other skaters were there to help him back up. The sk8 community is great

There is a Red Bull documentary where sry for butchering the name madars aspen or something like that follow along a few blind skates for some days. So inspiring and well produced worth the watch

Al the props in the world to him, but if I was blind, I’d focus my efforts more on things that didnt rely so heavily on sight.
