@keefvonkush I’ve only met two gnarly long borders that can out longboard the average skateboarder… But they were snowboarders so my theory is long borders don’t exist. They’re just skateboarders and snowboarders fucking around.
@J_Potter I’ve been blind for about 16 years and I know how you feel when losing your license cause it feels like you lost all your freedom. I wish I could tell you it gets easier but it just makes you harder. Keep your head up and I’m also there, hoping for some kind of cure or bionic eye
Thinking how rad it is to here a skate part and hear a skater announce his trick and spot he was at… Then to realize it's probably cringe for sided skaters to hear after they just watched it

Been skating a lot of transition, finally back to street skating. First ledge session back.
#videodescription for the #blind and #visuallyimpared - Justin performs a 50 50 to front board slide on a ledge.
We're beyond enamored with skateboarder @Justinthebishop. Diagnosed with RP at age 8, he's overcome vision loss like the champion he is. Follow him on Insta https://t.co/YFzfli8TXx and live your #XGames dreams!

Getting to skate the park section @dewtour was amazing.

We will be onsite at the @DewTour tomorrow supporting our friend, blind skater @justinthebishop, who will be using a new piece of #NotImpossible technology we created with @Zappos and @ZapposAdaptive to help him navigate while he skates! Stay tuned for updates.
