- happyperson, on 05/21/2008, -1/+96I was like: "yeah bullsh1t, he aint blind he just said that to meet Tony Hawk"
Then he plucked his prosthetic eyes out of his skull. *****! - fitqueenb, on 05/21/2008, -2/+65This kids is out there doing what he loves, and he does it well. He has guts to get that kind of speed and not see where he is going if you ask me.
- aquireworth, on 05/21/2008, -1/+59Geeze, I suck at skating and I have perfect vision. Wish I had the guts this kid has!
- teriyakisause, on 05/21/2008, -1/+56Just tried to walk around the house with my eyes close and using echoes....
Didn't work. - DSPoh, on 05/21/2008, -1/+35This really puts a new respect on the things we take for granted everyday, doesn't it?
- snowcrazy, on 05/21/2008, -1/+31How cool is this kid. Great attitude, amazing spirit and determination...wish there were more people like him and Hawk around.
- azntzouie, on 05/21/2008, -1/+29Dugg for pulling his prosthetic eyes out.
- Ninjao, on 05/21/2008, -0/+23It's things like this that make me feel good and bad at the same time. Good because I'm happy for people that don't let their disabilities hinder them from what they enjoy doing and bad because I realize a blind dude skates better than me.
- Syugo, on 05/21/2008, -3/+22That kid just makes us look like *****.
- ckpcw, on 05/21/2008, -1/+16I read title to mean: Tony Hawk interviews teenage member of the Blind skateboard team. AMAZING!"
Didn't sound amazing, then I saw eye sockets. AMAZING! - jimmyt1988, on 05/21/2008, -1/+15As a skateboarder myself, i honestly have no idea how he does it. I take my hat off to him. He's such an inspiration for anyone with a disability. His message is kind of like "i'm disabled... so bring it ***** on".
Fantastic, thanks for the article. - WoWii, on 05/21/2008, -2/+16This will be on Diggnation.
- sat0shi, on 05/21/2008, -2/+15How about Og de Souza... The guy has no legs -- he skates only using his arms and he's damn good.
http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=aQ9iHMOa9Mc - Dujara, on 05/21/2008, -1/+13How does he....what about when the board....and how does he know the tricks look....in the words of Keanu Reeves....WHOA.
- ACitizenofCambe, on 05/21/2008, -10/+21im much better than him - he fell like 5 times
- kpmoore, on 05/21/2008, -2/+13I thought it was weird at first how the kid didn't seem to talk to Tony Hawk like a typical fan would. He didn't seem excited to talk to Hawk at all--he didn't even thank him at the end.
Then I thought that if I had never seen Tony Hawk skate, I wouldn't think he was that great either. Great video. - badwithcomputer, on 05/21/2008, -0/+7Totally. I dusted off my Dreamcast just so I could play THPS2 after thats. Man did I miss Venice Beach...
- johndajap56, on 05/21/2008, -2/+8Wonder if he'll get sponsored by BLIND
god im going to hell - inactive, on 05/21/2008, -1/+7Damn! Spoken like a truly horrible future father!
- jamwil87, on 05/21/2008, -1/+711. A fist bump is completely appropriate here.
- silvershadow21, on 05/21/2008, -0/+6I think that's the point, he didn't make it to the kitchen...
- makkaveli19, on 05/21/2008, -0/+6haha, damn i feel bad for laughing at that.
- chapter78, on 05/21/2008, -0/+6Bear in mind that this kid has never seen a miniramp in his life. He'll never have seen other skateboarders doing tricks so how did he learn?
- willr001, on 05/21/2008, -0/+5wtf is a bookshelf doing in a kitchen...
- inactive, on 05/21/2008, -0/+5Balls of steel.
- nailPuppy, on 05/21/2008, -0/+5I'm burying your comment and your article for that.
- inactive, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4*shakes change cup*
I have no legs. I have no legs. - flashback99, on 05/21/2008, -0/+4that was quick.
- nymphetamine, on 05/21/2008, -2/+5So I guess I'm the only one who thought the interview would be "AMAZING"?
- willr001, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3"Get his eyes Mike!!! He's nothing without his all-seeing eyes!"
- directrix13, on 05/21/2008, -0/+3I read navigate my kitchen as well. But apparently he said navigate TO my kitchen.
- duke1981, on 05/21/2008, -1/+4True inspiration
- techlyc, on 05/21/2008, -2/+5He couldn't have played any of the video games either!
Retina cancer FTL. - directrix13, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Haha, crazy Elle.
- inactive, on 05/21/2008, -1/+3Actually I am a skateboarding guy with no arms or legs, blind and my brain is in a jar
- XSVFizz, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Sheldon Meleshinski- One eyed am skater, rides for zero http://youtube.com/watch?v=AM6q8pO3s7U&feature=rel ...
- optoomistic, on 05/21/2008, -2/+4i just tried to navigate to my kitchen using echolocation. surprise! i walked into the bookshelf
- dkitch, on 05/21/2008, -1/+3Okay, that's just ***** cool
- schmitey, on 05/21/2008, -1/+3Mad props to Tony and the skating world in general to accept this kid and encourage him like that! It says a lot for the sport and people involved IMO...
- itsradBrad, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2Effing Pei Mei style.
- LegalizeGanja, on 05/21/2008, -0/+2I am bearing it in mind. That's why I wrote it.
You: "...this kid has never seen a miniramp..."
Me: "...without ever seeing the ramp before..."
Not to be an ***** but RTFC - saxmaster, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Ouch
- Pahtcub, on 05/21/2008, -1/+2So since he uses walls can he skate outdoor parks?
- itsradBrad, on 05/21/2008, -1/+2We can all learn something from this.
- Tubilakken, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1he's talking about the walls on the quaterpipe, so yeah.. plus I have seen a photo of him in The Skateboard Mag. issue: January 2008 page 38-39..l. ( I wish I had a scanner ) where He skates in an outdoor skatepark
- Zippo, on 05/21/2008, -1/+2Man, skating with your eyes open is dangerous enough... this kid has serious balls and serious skills.
- altf4me, on 05/21/2008, -0/+1Not only is he a great skater, but he's hard as nails, tough as teak!
- diggfanner94928, on 12/08/2008, -0/+1I can't wait till he SEEs that he made it to the top page of digg.....ok that was bad humor... who ever is reading this to him, tell him GREAT JOB !!
- webbyman, on 05/21/2008, -1/+2Or more likely your an internet geek that goes on digg and plays WoW all day..
- inactive, on 05/22/2008, -0/+1he's not very good. my advice would be to watch a pro.
