13岁的时候,DanielMancina被诊断为色素性视网膜炎,如今他双眼几乎完全失明。但双目失明不是他滑板的终点,相反这是全新的起点,现在他还打破了世界纪录。
Daniel Mancina, 35, broke the record for the longest 50-50 grind on a skateboard, according to Guinness World Records.
根据吉尼斯世界纪录,35岁的丹尼尔·曼奇纳打破了滑板上最长50-50次研磨的记录。
Although the 35-year-old skater is globally recognised as the “Blind Skateboarder”, there was once a time when he was just a skateboarder. Growing up in Michigan, Mancina would snowboard as a young boy during the winter seasons. After reading in a magazine that skateboarding was a good way to improve his snowboarding skills during the summer, Mancina, who was only 13 at the time, spent more time on his skateboard.
尽管这位35岁的溜冰者被全球公认为 “盲人滑板手”,但他曾经只是一名滑板手。曼奇纳在密歇根长大,在冬季,他还是个小男孩时就会滑雪。在一本杂志上读到滑板是夏天提高滑雪板技能的好方法后,当时只有13岁的曼西纳在滑板上花了更多时间。
Never having tried his hand at the sport before and not knowing what it truly meant to be a skater, he would simply roll the skateboard around. It wasn’t until he moved to a different neighbourhood during his middle school years and met a group of skaters that Mancina began to truly appreciate skating.
他以前从未尝试过这项运动,也不知道成为一名溜冰者真正意味着什么,他只会滚动滑板。直到他在中学期间搬到另一个社区,遇到了一群滑冰运动员,曼奇纳才开始真正欣赏滑冰。
However, at just thirteen years old, doctors told him that he had an eye problem and would lose his sight. In just a year and a half, he lost vision in his left eye, and his skateboarding career quickly skidded to a halt. A few years later, as he thought of the passion he once felt for skateboarding, he decided to film himself performing a front board. The video was shared by the Tony Hawk Foundation, now known as The Skatepark Project. It gave Mancina the motivation he needed to return to the sport— despite that he is now completely blind.
然而,只有13岁的时候,医生告诉他,他有眼睛问题,会失明。在短短一年半的时间里,他的左眼失去了视力,他的滑板生涯很快就停止了。几年后,当他想到他曾经对滑板的热情时,他决定拍摄自己在前排的表演。这段视频由托尼·霍克基金会分享,现在被称为滑板公园项目。这给了曼奇纳重返这项运动所需的动力 -- 尽管他现在完全失明了。
“Being a blind skater, I have to take my time to feel obstacles and have a good understanding of them before I start skating,” said Mancina. “I rely on my white cane(手杖) the most, using it to know my environment and to find obstacles while skating.”
曼奇纳说: “作为一名盲人滑冰运动员,在我开始滑冰之前,我必须花时间去感受障碍,并对它们有很好的理解。”。“我最依赖我的白色手杖,用它来了解我的环境,并在滑冰时发现障碍。”
