I was going to submit this as a reply to the Team CF thread but I think it deserves its own thread. If you think that film will motivate you how about this guy also I think I found my new favorite cyclist.
Bobby McMullen
http://www.rideblindracing.com/about.shtmlAlso after reading about him he makes Lance look like a total wuss.
Hes had/got
diabetes
loss of his vision
kidney failure
years of dialysis
two kidney/pancreas transplants
open-heart surgery
cancer
He competes nationally in skiing and DH mountain biking.
There's too many videos to really post just one.
This is a video of him describing how it is like for him on the bike
This is also a great representation of how I see as well and has given me some ideas as I never have thought guiding while mtbing to be possible. It seems to be alot better than trying to memorize every little detail in a trail or having to stop continously to try and scout the route ahead. Im shocked that I hadn't heard about this guy sooner as Ive looked into DH/XC racing myself. I didnt know about this guy till I read the American printing house for the blind post about him.
