Meet Blind Skater Dan Mancina

Season 1, Episode 919,   Aug 20, 2021, 08:45 AM

Have you been inspired by Sky Brown and the other fabulous skateboarders at the Tokyo2020 Olympic Games?

Would you love to give it a try but are perhaps worried that being visually impaired will make it impossible?

Well, today we're joined by blind skater Dan Mancina, who not only wants to do away with negative perceptions of visual impairment, but also hopes to get adaptive skateboarding into the 2028 Paralympics. 

You can follow @danthemancina on Instagram and can listen to 'Insighted with Dan Mancina' wherever you get your podcasts.
