I know what ya mean considering he used to be sighted aswell , (quote:from  info on the video, Matt, who was a keen trials rider before he lost his sight in 2004, had to start from the beginning again and learn new riding techniques which would compensate for his impaired vision. ) so in seven years he has got back to riding like that  , I cant ride my BMX as half as good, but my excuse is I'm old and slightly deaf in one ear  , joking apart the man is a very clever skilled rider
