Blind Bike Trials Rider!
This is a video of a friend who is blind. He became blind a few years ago due to diabetes. He had over 22 eye surgeries in 2 years. He had to relearn everything from track stands to pedal kicks. He wants this video to motivate someone that may be in a similar situation. To show them of what they can do. Please let him know what you think.

suicidedownhiller, dont be so ignorant. This video can be an inspiration to anyone with a handicap that was forced off their bike.
I have nothing but respect for this guy. I cant imagine riding a bike being almost completely blind, let alone riding trials.
VOD.

Wow you guys are fucking dumb. Darwinism is a bitch as well! It's a joke. If you don't get it then too bad.

WOW Makes you think how good he was/would be if he wasn't blind. If this doesn't get VOD some time then pinkbike has no soul.
