Skateboarding while blind

At the age of 13, just as his love for skateboarding was flourishing, Dan Mancina was diagnosed with a condition that would eventually leave him blind.

Over twenty years later, he supports his family and earns income by skateboarding as a full-time job, with the long-term goal of getting it into the Paralympics.

He joins Sportshour’s Caroline Barker to tell her about the highs and lows of the last decade.
