What a story.

Downhill racing is not for the faint of heart. You have to be a little bit nuts to go hell bent for leather down a rock strewn, root infested mountainside at speeds that can top 30mph. Now, imagine doing that and being blind! That's exactly what Bobby McMullen does! My hat's off to him. His blindness is only one of many obstacles he's had to overcome, yet he's never given up on his competitive spirit.

I just can't get over the idea of this guy DH racing, and having to use a spotter to do it. I've got all my senses and I wouldn't try DH. Incredible, absolutely incredible.

More power to ya, Bobby!
