Like all skateboarders, the rush of air, the thrill of the ride, the sense of achievement in completing a trick are what drew the 19-year-old to the sport. Unlike other boarders, however, Ouchi is almost completely blind. REUTERS/Issei Kato

Ouchi was born with perfect vision but since being diagnosed with an eye condition at the age of seven his sight has degenerated to the point where he needs a cane to navigate his local skatepark in Tokorozawa, north of Tokyo.
