Johannes Bruckmeier is 27 years old, he practices skateboarding and is blind. When he runs through the city with a skateboard and a cane or practices in the park, people stop. "The reactions are the same everywhere," he says. "Mainly something like 'Wow, incredible'. Now there are also selfies, which I find strange." He doesn't think it's special that he skateboards despite his disability. "For me, it's the most normal thing in the world." Johannes Bruckmeier suffers from retinitis pigmentosa, a hereditary disease in which the cells of the retina die gradually. Bruckmeier says he struggled for a long time with his disability. He tried to hide it or disguise it with humor. When a relationship broke four years ago, he started skateboarding. "And I've been at it ever since, for several hours every day. I've oriented my whole life around it." On weekends, Bruckmeier is always participating in international competitions and skating in other city centers.
