Blind Speed

Friday June 8, 2007
Daredog, blinded as a child, picks up skateboarding at age 20 and tells her story. "I was tired of the same old safe activities," she says. "I wanted something more extreme." Jennifer Tissot has now been skating for a few years, and talks about what it is like to learn to skateboard while blind, and what drives her to skateboard. "Without any dares or risks in life, you're not really living..." Read Blind Speed, the story of an incredible skater girl.

My skateboard is falling apart. What kind of skateboard should I get that would be an alright board, but won’t cost a whole bunch of money?
