Matt has been working hard over the winter to produce this inspirational video featuring a selection of his best riding footage over the last few months. What makes this video unique is that the rider featured in the footage, Matt Gilman, is actually blind. Matt, who was a keen trials rider before he lost his sight in 2004, had to start from the beginning again and learn new riding techniques which would compensate for his impaired vision.

Chances of this sport appearing in the Paraolympics? I'm guessing zero, cos there wouldn't be any competition. Should be there as a demonstration though...
