Poison Oak Productions’ latest documentary, The Way Bobby Sees It, follows blind downhill mountain bike racer Bobby McMullen’s as he prepares to race the epic Downieville Downhill in California. From the Poison Oak website:

The Way Bobby Sees It is a gripping documentary about a blind mountain bike racer who rides downhill, fast. Bobby McMullen lost his eyesight as a result of diabetes in 1993. Several years later his kidneys began to fail. He can’t drive a car, grocery shop, or read a menu without help. He relies on others to see and takes 32 pills a day to stay alive. Despite these limitations, Bobby is on a mission to race the most difficult downhill course in the country. The Way Bobby Sees It is about one man’s determination to live an active life even when the path is completely out of focus.

Check out the Poison Oak website for info on upcoming screenings or to order your copy of the DVD. I haven’t seen the film myself but from the trailer it looks pretty interesting…
