I have to say, what I just saw was pretty remarkable. Having seen your previous video I kind of knew what sort of level you were at, but this seems to be a vast improvement.

I can think of plenty of fully sighted riders who would struggle with a lot of the stuff you were doing in that, especially the "off camber" street lines.

Good work :)

EDIT: Sincerest apologies Matt, but I appear to have deleted your topic by accident when trying to merge it with this one, which someone else opened earlier :$ please feel free to make another topic or just continue to use this one...

No worries man. It's perfectly fine with me. I didn't realize that someone else posted it up before me.

Amazing you have so much determination to try so hard to do what you love

the only thing is that , what are you doing with your bars so odd , try out different angles

Amazing

Josh

well I am an old skool rider so I have always been used to bars that way. Plus I am a former bmx rider which bars never went up nearly as far as trials bars do. I tried out different angles but nothing felt nearly as good as the way I have them set up.

It works perfect for me so why chang it?

To everyone else, thanks so much for all the great comments!

It's definately nice to watch.

But also a bit sad, because as he's that good a rider and being literally fully blind,

imagine how awesome he would be if he had perfect eye sight.

Really really motivating

Bails at the end upset me a little bit :(
