[Sportsandrec] Blind skateboarder

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Jody,

In an event that no one has yet answered, you sort of slide your 
tongue against the roof of your mouth, in the way that some people 
make a  little noise while they are absent mindedly, pondering 
something. I  have successfully made any type of similar sound, 
functioning as a sort of tongue click, but a little less obvious, 
something that I can only perceive. Play with it, you can use 
anything to offer the same feedback about which you are looking 
device to offer similar  effects of a tongue click, such as drawing 
in some breath between your top teeth. That also works very well in 
situations where one must be quiet, as they try to navigate.
