Blind skateboarder shreds ramps

Monday May 19, 2008
Take a look at this video of Tony Hawk interviewing Tommy Carroll, a young teenage skater who rips up ramps, and who is totally blind. The video is pretty flooring, and inspirational to a massive degree. If you think you might be too old, or too heavy, or that you don't have the balance - or any excuse, really - just take a look at this kid and realize that anything is possible!

You might also remember this article called Blind Speed about Daredog, a blind girl who picked up street skating and taught herself. It's amazing.
