Blind skier Kevin "Cannonball" Alderton has set two new world records despite his disability.
His latest stunt hit a blistering 105 mph at a course in Les Arcs, France. Last week, he set a new indoor record in Landgraaf, Holland where he registered over 56mph.
According to The Sun newspaper, the 35-year-old Kevin relies on his partner Susan and his trainer, to help him achieve his goal.
He said, "I trained hard for three months, most of which was spent in my living room wearing skis and a helmet perfecting my position. Susan takes pictures of me, then emails them to my trainer in Scotland who sends me feedback."
"On the course I have a two-way radio in my helmet so my guide can speak to me. He alerts me if I veer too far to either side. I am concentrating too hard on what he says to have time to worry about what is coming up in front of me."
Speaking about breaking the records Kevin said, "It gave me a whole new lease of life and proved that my disability could not hold me back."
The skiing enthusiasts lost his sights after trying to help a woman being attacked by thugs near his home in Islington, North London.
