  • this amazing to see such a great bond and trust between you and him :)

  • dangg.. the other day i was complaining how i couldnt land a trick.. i was mad and gave up. today i saw this video.. i imagined how harder it would be if i was blind!.. now im greatful for two things: 1. I am not blind and can see the road ahead of me.. 2. we have guys like Scooter who helped out Josh when he needed eyes to watch his road.. now, i believe anythting is possible for anyone.

  • Comment removed

  • congrats Josh!!!! He used to go to my school and now is going to the University of Limerick

  • You the Man Josh, you the man....

  • @KiraKisa100 yes! this is Scooter!

  • Almost cried...

  • This video is so sweet!!!!!!!

  • I wanna cry that video was so wonderful I haven't been able to hear anything my hole life I'm daeuf so it showed me just as much as it showed you how to life to the fullest

  • i think he is a truley amanzing kid that is so inspiring

  • Wow, huge influx of views recently.. please share the love of skateboarding wherever you can.

  • Alot of heart love this video! :)

  • It is funny now that I think about it, alot of people look at others with disabilities as if they are helpless or useless, but as I watched this video I noticed that this kid here. This blind kid is skating better then alot of people who can see.

  • I am so impressed seeing a blind kid skate and with that man for helping him learn! I wish the everyone world was like this for eachother!

  • this kid is great at skating you make me feel as if i could keep pushing my self harder and harder instead of giving up on tricks thank you.your a great insporation!keep shreeding

  • i dont kno Josh but thank u for bein a friend to him and helping him skate :)

  • @TheLibertybellz You are completely right @pmoran420 You are going way too far. He only wanted to try something new you don't have to be a jerk and make a big fuss over this.

  • I thought that this was about a skater on the team blind.

  • What a truly inspiring video and I'm glad to see there are still some nice people like you. I'm sure Josh would grow up to be a pro skater.

  • Josh you Rock : D thank you for showing us that there is not limited for our dreams : )

    Never give up : ) you can do more awesome things, God bless you

  • I love this vid I can't belive how people can dislike this there obviosly no lifes with nothing else to do but hate

  • i loved the last clip, where he smiled.

  • Wow this kid is amazing and idk why but whoever taought you thank you so much your a really great person

  • enjoy life, have fun, i'm proud of you. skateboarding is so much fun. my ankles are all messed up from ice hockey but i keep skating

  • wow that is so cool of you to do that dude!

  • wow that's really nice of him he has alot of heart

  • respect all my respect

  • This video made me cry because of the end, it was so sweet!

  • i tried dropping in with my eyes closed but i busted my ass

  • 2 people cant see the video :/

  • Just shows not all skaters are drug head trash, a certain few, like this guy, are kind and compassionate, thanks for proving the stereotype wrong and creating this amazing video.

  • man we need more people like you in this world your a great kid if you ever start a foundation i will follow it strongly. your amazing

  • You are a tremendous inspiration Josh. Well done man. I loved watching how your dedication and passion paid off. You kick ass!

  • This is so touching. For one great job Josh! For two it was so great of you just to jump in like that and help a skater out. A lot of skaters are jerks who give the sport a bad name, so it's great to see something like this. You must be a really awesome person bro! I had a blind man I had to lead around and stuff for a while many years ago, no clue why but he befriended me at work. He was pretty cool.

  • the 2 people that disliked this are just jealous that an unfortunately blind boy can skate better.

    Its nice to see that people still have morals. You're an inspiration to all @cheeseblogger

  • That was awsome i think he is better than me

  • One of the most inspiring stories I have ever seen, you are a great person.

  • @bailey950 thanks!

  • ur really nice to help blind people to skate im ok but hes pretty brave!!

  • wow! what an inspirational story and video! and to think you just befriended him and said 'hey ill teach you to skate!' to think you took the time to show this dude how to skate just too much for me man i shed a tear you rock! skate for life man

  • Cool Video Josh ;)

  • yo im willing to help him learn myself, where ya at

  • this guys in my school i dont really know him but he seems like a nice kind person i wish him the best in life =)

  • awwwwww hes so nice

  • aboii josh u legend finaly found da vid u wer talkin bout in scul :D i wish i cud skate :( we'll hang round wen we get bak to scul k bud :D

  • Skateboarding is hard enough as it is but doing it when your blind, truly amazing. Im still get scared to try stuff on a skateboard if i was blind it would be 10 times scary. this kid has some major balls to do what he is doing. Have you Skated at all since????

  • Hi Josh here,just to clear up something,BLIND is a skateboarding brand.Mum told me about the shirt and I thought it would be fun to wear it,maybe it's just my Irish sense of humour.Sometimes the humour helps break the ice with people and it makes it easier for others to approach me and make friends. Thanks for all the comments, my laptop reads the commments back to me.

    "Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the Blind can see", thank you Scooter.From your friend Josh.

  • josh and his parents have a fantastic sense of humour of course the shirt was ment to be funny he has another good 1 that says keep stareing and i might do a trick maybe he wouldnt have to ware tshirts like this if people saw him as an equal and looked at him instead of his blindness just like scooter did its a pity ther are not more poeple like scooter in his own country thanks again scooter.

  • yes! his parents bought it for him, and he knew what it said before he put it on!

  • of course it was suppose to be funny and it very much so was.

  • luv u josh u made me cry when u did all by urself and we all no how hard it is to make me cry.....we luv u and are very proud and honored to be your cousin. Maybe next time u can teach me a thing or to.

  • This is josh's cousin nicole from olathe kansas. And josh can do anything he puts his mind to. he has not let being blind stop him from doing whatever he wants to do in life and well done to him. At the end he did it by himself and I had tears in my eyes..Well done josh luv u

  • I saw the sign in Tubes, asking people to check this guy out and I really have to say, I'm in awe. Really, well done to him.

    <3

  • Josh, I am well impressed! Can't wait to see you all next week.

  • This is Josh's twin sister, Robin. I just want to say thank you to Scooter for helping Josh live his dream of skateboarding. It has made him so happy - The best experience of his life, he said. We're all so proud of him and he has done so well. Keep it up Josh :] xx

  • Wow! Great job!
