Since the age of 14, Adil has slowly been losing his eyesight. He sent Five News this amazing Your News video. Now he's 25 and nearly completely blind. In April 2007 he performed a helidrop which involved him snowboarding down the Trient Glacier in Switzerland. Five News put his video on air!

  • aye what Paintedsilence said also your moving fast and there are lots of debre around.

    i wish i could do that!!!

    so bad, hes amazing!

  • when your snow-boarding you get sun burnt easily, your eyes do easily too. being blind doesn't mean you don't get sun burnt eyes

  • it says nearly. and so as long as you can see a bit of light u wud know u werent about to crash into a wall or something (which is why its scary even if u know theres nothing there). its still very brave, i wus just saying. i wish i could snowboard sometime, i wus gona in my dream but then i woke up dammit!

  • amazing that takes some real grit did u see that huge cravas.

  • he is completely blind now

  • congratz indeed i can barely ski let alone snowboard

  • that is hard to do at the best of times, wow

  • why does he need goggles?

  • rip it up dude, that was awesome

  • jesus christ. it is diifucly even to walk forward for 5 steps with your eyes shurt without getting spooked. i guess its less scary if u can see a bit tho
