[Sportsandrec] Blind skateboarder

Okay, I saw this message. I missed it.  How do you do the flash sonar
without other people you.  What position do you put your tongue in when you
do do it? I tried it, but without sounding totally ridiculous I can't really
make it work.

Hi, Jody,

Ben's echolocation ability was quite good, but by no means unique.
Virtually anyone can learn flash sonar to that degree. It simply takes
diligence. It's easier than you might think; just most people don't ever
have training in it.
