[Sportsandrec] Blind skateboarder

He uses echolocation to navigate.  He can also play video games on TV's even with his back turned toward the TV.  It is based on the same princial as either a bat or a dolphin uses to find its way.

Not sure how this guy does it just by sound, but here's a vid on a
blind skateboarder. I'd like to know how he knows when to turn.
