[Sportsandrec] Blind skateboarder

[justin williams]

I also do the same things.  I have noticed that when I focus to hard, things
blurr.  When I just let things flow, the hearing and feeling are easier.  I
am trying to figure out a happy medium. I am trying to figure our how to
sharpen my senses of hearing.

Hi Justin,

I can do passive echolocation.  I don't make noise, I just listen to when
objects block sounds.  I can pick up on telephone poles, trees, and I have
tried picking up on objects below shoulder height like our farm gate.  I try
and judge my distance and I am getting more accurate each time I approach.

It is really a lot of fun.  It makes it almost impossible to sneak up from
behind.

JODY
