Video: Blind Mountain Biker, Xavier Hopkins, Hits Rogate Gaps with World Cup Racer Luke Williamson
It is a rough classification, I played blind football for a while, and I was in the category 10% sight and below, My vision on Is worse than 10% especially because the more light there is, the less I can see, bright sunlight directly in my eyes can temporarily blind me, even with tinted goggles on. Also my eyes shake uncontrollably, so anything more than a few feet away becomes very blurry. The two eye conditions together make for an interesting riding experience. I am going to make a video to try and show/ explain what i see, and how I have learned to ride with my poor vision.

So you are saying that if I had more eyesight I would ride less things? Seems someone is a little jealous :)

Just to clarify guys in the UK the classification is either visually impaired or blind depending on how much usable sight you have, mine is so bad that I am classed as blind, mainly because I cant read or write without the help of a computer and special software. I didn't choose the title and don't mean to mislead anyone. I'm guessing legally blind is an American term.
Thanks for all the comments though: :)
