@Democrats are cunts its not pity its out of the strength hes shown . If you went blind would you have this drive and compassion to carry on or just sit and waste away in selfpity
Democrats are cunts Earth to dipsht: SOTY isn’t about tricks, it’s about HEART... which this dude has in spades. SOTY material for sure. You sound like a kook.
Since when is Soty about heart? Do you pick who becomes Soty, you fucking worm? Lately Soty has been about big companies essentially buying it for their riders, and before that it was based on who killed it hardest during the year. Heart is irrelevant you naive bitch
No one is being over sensitive here or anything but it's just fucked up because it's not his choice to be blind. If you guys really started a trend off of his disability, then that's low key fucked.
@@wagonburnerjr.9206 I don't know if you're talking about me, like my other comment but I'm talking about specifically blind skaters only. Not people with sight. I don't take shots at anyone with disabilities or handicaps like that and never will.
I'm reading through the comments to try to get more info. So does he usually skate with his cane? I'm a blind skater as well & am trying to learn his process. I've only ever met one other blind skater in my life & he uses echo location. I use a mix of echo location & time distance. But I don't usually use my cane when I skate. So I'm just trying to figure it out.
Coco Atama the video showed him skating ledges and doing flat ground tricks mostly. He did a 50-50, frontside nose slide, and some board slides on the ledge. He used his cane while doing the tricks to judge the distance to the ledge. He ollied a 2 stair while using his cane as well. The video also showed him using his cane to judge width of a manual pad and then doing a manual. He did some flip tricks with his cane but then did a Cab without the cane! There was some really cool tricks in there.
@@thegrudge I just might try that. I usually skate things like banks & pyramids so I can feel when to do a trick. But if I can use my cane that might help with stairs. Random question but how tall do you think his cane is in relation to him? I have an Ambutech 56" with a high mileage tip. The length of the cane & the type of tip change how it reacts & feels. But I also wonder cause 90% of the tricks I do are handplant, footplant, & fingerflip variations so I'm not sure how easy skating with my cane would be. But I definitely needs to give it a shot.
I've got tears in my eyes, man. Doesn't matter if you're tre flipping 10 or jumping up a curb.... skaters don't just want to skate. They need to skate. This already amazing community still needs stories like Dan's.
Just had a crazy thought. You know how skateboarding is with progression. Things seem impossible then a few years later it's the norm. If this guy inspires more blind skaters in a few years there could possibly be a guy to do the first blind frontside flip down a 5 stair or more. I'm calling it right now.
I really wanna skate with this guy. I'm blind myself & I've been skating since I was seven. I've only evver met one other blind skater in my life & it seems like there's so many more now. I want to find as many as I can & start an all blind team. Cause while I couldn't tell a lot of the tricks he was doing it sounds like he's got ledges on lock. I mainly skate freestyle, flat, & banks & boxes. The other blind skater I met skates mainly transition. So I think that's a solid balance. And I don't think I can FS flip a 5 stair. But If I find the right 5 stair I can for sure beanplant front shove it. Maybe switch boneless FS flip it. Not sure though haven't found a 5 that isn't overly long.
@@cocoatama I think you need to find a set of steps where you can put a really subtle thing on the ground so you can feel it right before you have to pop, kind of like a braille that you hit with your wheels and then pop a 1/2 second later. Maybe duct tape a shoelace or something a few feet back from the top step.
This guy...just can’t say enough about this guy.He deserves 1 part per month until EVERYONE knows who he is.This is a true hero refusing to let a handicap stop him from doing what he wants.Love all his parts so far and wish Dan the very best life has to offer,very inspiring.
Amazing. I recently got back into it at 30 and it's not like being young, it's tougher and everything hurts. Losing something that we all take for granted and still going out there and skating is completely unbelievable. Dan is an Inspiration. I really wish him the best in everything he does. You go dan! 💪🙌
If you ever even touched a skateboard this dude should be your inspiration and not only in skateboarding but in life in general! He's not letting anything stop him!.
He is amazing! Absolutely inspiring, idk what I’d do if I lost my sight, I’m an artist and skater. Hell yea Dan Mancina! 🤙🏻 you’re the man! Heavy dude. So rad
Never get tired of seeing videos on this man it challenges everything I thought possible of a blind person, my vison isnt very good a huge fear of mine is to go blind it probably wont happen but it brings me comfort to see this man ketting nothing get in his way of killing it in his board
What a legend ! My mother works for retina international trying to make life better for people with this disease and this is so inspiring ! much respect and keep on doing what you love !
It is hard to believe, but some people go through these kind of unfortunate situations and become stronger persons who motivate others. Much respect and admiration for Dan Mancina.
How could someone dislike this and live with themself, people are soo disconnected nowadays its sad. You're an inspiration Dan keep on keepin on brother.
Kingly23 hell yeah. Just make sure you know your limits. It's better to try mellow shit and be alright then to get fucked up and not be able to skate for months; I learned that the hard way. But keep at it yo, you got that shit!
Damn, why am I in tears? 4:29 did it for me. The feeling you get helping others find their way and their selves is awe inspiring. faq u berrics! You're supposed to make skate videos, not heart melting, compelling presentations like this. Hats off to you Dan and berrics for this! Made my day, it'll make my weekend skating more meaning full. Thank you!
Met this guy randomly forever ago at a skatepark. Had no idea who we was or that he was from Michigan. This guy is hella friendly and just generally a sick dude to talk and skate with. So crazy to see him and some clips from that park. Fuck yeah man this is so sick.
Dude I'm not blind but I got a severe herniated disc and pinched nerve to left leg man you make me wanna get out there no matter the pain big up man true og
So much appreciation and respect for you Dan, thank you for being such a good guy and inspiration to all. Literally no excuse to get out there and try our best!
Bruh met Dan like 5 days ago when they had the ceremony of Jack Olson turning pro at 3rd Lair, he's the most down to earth dude ever, really nice guy and a cool skater.
I see this guy every once in a while at Riley Skatepark in Livonia Michigan, still shredding, I see him judge some distances and the lengths of rails with his cane, then just go for it.
God bless you brother honestly you are an inspiration to literally everyone, take what obstacles life throws at us and learn a way to over come them. Isnt it awesome to feel that no other skater in the world that has vision can do what u do, which makes you at the list of one of the best skaters in the world. Pma and a will to overcome fear and passion and love for everything, sometimes we see that when the most important sense is taken away it doesnt alter your change to do what u love it provides a benchmark to say if he is happy and loves life and is so humble not allowing anyone or anything to stop him just living his dream and showing that nothing is impossible that we literally take life for granted and things that seem hard in life really arent that hard or bad for that matter at all. Just this video has made me so happy that he is still living his best life just showing people he can do it with his skills he learnt before when he could see and he learnt to do it when he cant, i mean i literally cant even find my light switch at night in the dark and will smash toes and break shit trying to find it and this talented gentleman can find his light switch his shoea his board his keys his way to tampa finds his courage and found his way around a course and ledges to grind off and on, does this every single day because u can take away this mans vision but he has proven himself to anyone that when u take the bad and the good there really isnt any thing bad at all because if hes happy like this and never stopped doing what he loves he isnt living, if only every man had his attitude imagine how amazing life would be for all. You are an amazing and talented strong person because thats what you wanted to be full stop. Loved this it makes me happy that he is happy.... Never give up.. My man.
Jay Rex I heard him say he would like to do things that he can’t because he is blind, so pretty sure he would jump at the chance to get his sight back. He’s learned to live with it, doesn’t mean he no longer wants it.
Such a good video! I would love a version without the language to show to the class (of nine year olds) that I teach, cause there is such an inspiring message they could hear from this!
That slowly blurring of the screen definetely made me more empathic to the guy. To be honest was kind of disturbing and really put things in perspective. Way to go Dan! Hope that skateboarding keeps bringing you lots of good times!

100% Respect. And not only that, but you can add the word 'Blind' on every trick he does to make it even harder and you're not lying.
Fuck Real, he should be skating for Blind.
This could be a new trend! Blind flips, Blind spins, Blind Gap etc lol

All vision impairment aside... Those pop outs on his ledge boardslides are so minty
Another great vid from Dan. Also, that front crooks was FIYA
Kenneth Barger RIGHT

Crazy how they edited it to go blurry as he he was talking about the history of his loss of sight.
Very cool. I felt the emotion
I thought my internet was bugging out and then it clicked that it was intentional to attempt to show it was for him
Fr I thought my screen was fucked up
Got me good man I was pressing the screen and everything what a head fuck
U guys are fucking dumbasses
This guy is an inspiration
He is this guy
Cant imagine going blind man. This guy is a hero for staying positive and keeping going.
