| The place is
called Land of the Vikings. |
|
| | The event is Sports For Health. The players have limited mobility or vision. |
| | | Activities include tandum mountain biking... |
|
| |
| | And semi to high risk sports NOT normally associated with the visually impaired. |
| | | The program seems relaxed but activities rely on the energy of the volunteers. |
|
| | Everybody pays their own way; the volunteer guides and participants alike. |
| | | Here Joan prepares the the tandum bikes for this year's event. |
|
| | Steve delivers a gun safety course. Later -- instruction at the shooting range. |
| | | Ubaka Hill shares her talent and percusive music on drums from around the world. |
|
| | The voluteers provide for planning... |
| | | ... and the safe execution of each activity. |
|
| | Including donning of safety equipment on the water... |
| | | ... and the land. Ever see a blind person ride a motorcycle? |
|
| | Well, how could you tell? (Don't worry, the operator, Roy, is a "sightling"). |
| | | Sighted guides assist with a variety of activities. Some of which appear tame. |
|
| | Some require safety monitoring. |
| | | Some activities are a little more aggressive. (Listen for the "clang" or "ouch") |
|
| | Some are down right shocking. |
| | | The Sports for Health program makes a difference: Everybody wins. |
