I grew up riding with perfect vision but at the age of 16 a genetic condition called LHON caused me to become legally blind and lose my central vision. I have continued to ride by using a guide that rides infant of me and guides me through the trail.

Thanks! Yes it has definitely grown my bike control skills and enhanced my relationship with trusting my bike. People think its all about your eyes and seeing the trail, but your hands and feet are the ones connected to the bike that you have constantly be working with and I also like to tell people that your best suspension is in your elbows and knees!

Thank you so much Bobby, that means a ton coming from you! When my vision loss first started about six years ago I watched your documentary with my family and it was a huge inspiration to show me that I could continue to ride but just had to do it in a new way. Let's connect soon, would be great to have a conversation.

Hahaha! These days I wear G Form elbow and knee pads, and Pathfinder TASCO gloves that have a little more padding on the knuckles. Shockingly it took me awhile to start wearing pads after my vision loss.
