Skateboarding is for everybody, whether you're a kid, an adult, or even have a disability. It doesn't choose what you look like, and it will stay with you forever.

Brothers and skateboarders Abdul and Mo Syed have a genetic eye condition called cone-rod dystrophy, which causes progressive blindness, but that didn't stop them from learning skateboarding and learning tricks every day.

ABC News Australia profiles the two skateboarders in their local skatepark as they showcased their talent and provided incredible persistence skating.

"I do really enjoy it. I guess it's kind of who I am, to be honest." Abdul said. "It's fun but at the same time it can also be scary at times because when you're not really able to see what you're trying to do, but you know what you're trying to do."

Their father Anwar Syed has been supportive of what the brothers have been doing and always guiding them whenever they needed help.
