[Sportsandrec] Blind skateboarder

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Justin,

Well, do ya think most sighted people will be none the wiser about 
what you are doing, unless they know what to be listening for? 
Perhaps, amongst other blind folk, such an ability might be hard to 
conceal, but relax about your treasure. What's the point of hiding it 
when, I'm sure you don't see sighted people concealing the fact that, 
they might be able to ocularly see. For me, seeing without eyes even 
is a tremendous asset to my travel, in fact to most fasits of 
mobility, and my life in general.
Please don't see this as an attack. I'm just befuddled.
