Adaptive SkateboardingBio
Mancina, one of the pioneers of skateboarding for the blind, has just launched a fundraising campaign to build the world's first adapted skate park, where he aims to teach other visually impaired people how to ride and be independent. His life changed one day when he decided to film some videos doing things that blind people were not supposed to do, like skating. He posted the clip, it went viral and he hasn't stepped off his board since. His amazing videos have received hundreds of thousands of views on social media and he has loyal followers on Instagram, where people are eager to see him perform jumps and other tricks. Overall, Mancina has inspired and motivated others by challenging misconceptions about blindness and skateboarding, and demonstrating that it is possible to overcome any obstacle with dedication and perseverance.
