Little Justin

so pretty much I've been teaching longboarding for the past couple of months now and i get the odd natural kid who just is pure natural at riding a board. Justin is aged 11 and lives in melbourne, he had never been on a skateboard/longboard before or even thought about it. The amazing thing is justin is blind, he has no sight at all. From what i heard before i meet him justin has been to many schools because he was bullied about being visually impaired and that he had always wanted to try being on a skateboard/longboard.


The cool thing about him even though everyone told him he couldnt do things just because he is visually impaired, he still has confidence in himself to try new things. a thing i remember him saying was " this is the most fun ive had in a long time", which would truly make anyone happy. if anyone would like to offer justin something for longboarding that would be sweet (his family cannot afford much)ive already chucked in a helmet and gloves and knee pads for him so any help is great-fully needed.


so this isnt a long write about, i just wanted everyone to about this awesome kid.

thanks jason t

All,

Got it confirmed by decent hardware head quarters. Justin will get 1 skate short with pads, 1thirst and 1 park bag. I will let you know when it arrives. I would appreciate if you could let me know when you are going to visit the grom so I can take some pictures for the website and facebook pages.

Cheers

The helmet is hard as you need to get him to try it on, but gloves are easy. Come on guys. Is there someone in Melbs who can find this kid a lid?????
