Blind skater changes the game and opens way for others

EL PAIS

Marcelo Lusardi lost his sight to a rare disease a decade ago, but has completely rebuilt his skateboarding skills with support from friends. He uses social media to share his inspiring journey as The Blind Rider and shows how he adapted tricks while using a cane to scout each new spot before riding it. He pushed for an adapted skate contest at O Marisquiño in Vigo, which now includes disabled skaters and offers equal prize money.
