hi is there any one else with the same problem
I am blind in my right eye and i have had to learn how to ride all over a-gen it has been ok on the road i just need to be aware of traffic
Off road is a new story trees do not get out off your way and dogs do not like you!!
I can't judge distance in front off me at the side its not to bad but that could be to late jumps are ok just go for it and drops are very hard for me
Are there any top riders out there that can HELP or are there any nutters out there that fancy taping up there right eye to see how different it is to ride off road if so let me know wot happens
