We don’t need to tell you about the skills required to perform ollies. Now imagine a blind man doing over 100 at the trot.

“I can’t change the fact that I have a disease, so I thought I’m going to have to live with it,” he added.
Ouchi practiced ollies with his friends after his eyesight deteriorated. He finally managed to break the world record even with a strained back.
“I was already out of breath less than 30 seconds later. I couldn’t help but laugh because I wasn’t even halfway there. I didn’t know how many times I succeeded, but all I know is my legs are so stiff right now,” Ouchi said.
