[Sportsandrec] Blind skateboarder

I can't figure out a good work around as of yet.  I really don't want
everyone to hear the clicking.  I believe in keeping your abilities hidden.

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.
