    This hits so hard. About 2 months ago I started to lose my vision, after a severe infectious conjunctivitis. I'm a med student, and I thought I'd might not ever see again and that it would mean my life would be over. But after watching your journey, I see life happens however you are, whether you can see or not, and you can be happy; you can be okay. I've had my vision back for a while now, but after seeing this, I can't stop crying. thank you.

    They just entered skateboarding into the Olympics. They should enter it into the Paralympics immediately, too! All the best to your endeavors! Thank you very much for letting the New York Times share this!

    What a inspiring young man. He’s got more to offer than so many men out there who can see but lack motivation and a vision.

    As someone who recently started skating, this was truly beautiful to watch. I especially love what he said about failure and the feeling of falling.

    This is an awesome video for me. I am a 60 year old Skateboarder and even though I went 20 years without riding in the middle of my 47 years since I started I decided to ride again on my 40th Birthday and this year I will be riding my skateboard on my 61st Birthday...God willing, I am willing. Just uploaded a skateboarding video on my channel last week 😁🙏Thank you Jesus for the Bubble Wrap Suit 😎

    This piece does not have audio description for people who are blind or visually impaired. I find that ironic considering the subject of this mini documentary. I, like Justin, am legally blind and am unable to see what is happening in the video. It would have been wonderful if people who are blind were thought of in the making and posting of this video. Inclusion matters.

    I’ve skated in some of those spots in this video. Desert breeze in Las Vegas and the mini ramp set up in blue diamond just outside of Vegas. I haven’t skated in probably close to 10 years. This is gonna get me back out there and teach my
    Son. No excuses anymore. Such an inspiration ❤️

    I also have RP, I got diagnosed at 21 when my daughter was 1, I’m now 26 still with some vision my peripheral vision is going, I have good days and bad days but I make sure most of them are good ones, I just keep saying to myself that *I’m still here still breathing* that’s most important, I’m still going to be here for when my daughter grows up even if I can’t see her (Yh will be 100% hard not gonna lie but I’m still with her), I did have an amazing friend who was completely blind (not RP) and we’d go over to his house and have a chat and cup of tea about life and how happy he is and what he went through and that he’ll always be there for me when I loose my sight but unfortunately he passed in September due to covid and other health issues
