My uncle is his friend, her daughter Emma babysit my cousin every Friday. I still haven't see him yet.

@angels77100

Even if he was gay, which he isn't btw. What's that got to do with the many amazing achievements Erik has concered?! Forget the 'gay' lies, which you somehow think's to do with being able to Rock climb whilst being blind? He's 1 gutsy guy, & is, 1 of the most inspirational & courageous guys on this beautiful planet. Of which ERIK has had what it takes to climb to the "Top of the World"!...BLIND n'all!

WOW! Thanks for helping me 'climb' my mountain ERIK! Much luv <3 x

@kazzaflaz Look I'm not one to spread rumors. So I apologise for what I said previously. I just heard that he was a gay, and well it kinda added to his already amazing achievements. I've got nothing against the gays. Live and let live is my motto.

[N0Limits123]

@angels77100, hes not gay, hes married to a woman. Hes my uncle. Get your facts straight before you spread rumors you idiot

An amazing achievement for Eric. Not only is the guy blind. He's also a gay. Seriously.

well, because of Erik, bobby McCullen (and blind downhill mountain biker) and matt gimlet (a blind bike trials rider), I am now doing things I would have thought impossible just 1 year ago. my doctor thinks I am nuts, but hey! whatever! I enjoy riding and I should never have given it up 22 years ago because I couldn't see.

[thtsritesun1212]
