Justin Bishop's journey as a skateboarder is nothing short of inspirational. Losing his sight due to a degenerative eye disease called Retinitis Pigmentosa, he could have easily given up on his passion for skateboarding. Instead, he adapted and continued pushing himself to new heights.

Bishop, who hails from Las Vegas, began skateboarding at a young age. He quickly fell in love with skating and spent countless hours perfecting his craft.

However, as he got older, he began to experience problems with his vision. His condition continued to worsen despite multiple surgeries, and he was eventually declared legally blind.

Many people would have given up at this point, but not Bishop. He was determined to find a way to continue skateboarding, even without his sight.

With the help of his friends, he developed a unique system of verbal cues and tactile markers that allowed him to navigate the skatepark and perform tricks.

The road was challenging. Bishop faced numerous challenges along the way, including multiple injuries and setbacks. But he persevered, driven by his love for skateboarding and his desire to prove that anything is possible with determination and hard work.
