Skateboarder Robert Glover’s skills are very excellent， but in a way what youwill not expect. Born with sacral agenesis2， limiting3 the growth of his legs， Mr.Glover uses his upper body strength4 to control5 his skateboard.

滑板運(yùn)動員羅伯特·格洛弗的技術(shù)非常出色，但你不會想到他是用的什么方式。格洛弗天生骶骨發(fā)育不全，限制了雙腿的生長，他用上半身的力量來控制滑板。

Instead of using his legs， as most skateboarders do， he uses his arms and torso6to control the board. The Namibian-born skateboarder， sailor， and boxer often speaksabout the power of not thinking obstacles as limits. He likes sharing this message farand wide by social media.

他不像大多數(shù)滑板運(yùn)動員那樣用腿，而是用手臂和軀干來控制滑板。這位出生于納米比亞的滑板運(yùn)動員、水手和拳擊手經(jīng)常談到不把障礙當(dāng)作限制會帶給人力量。他喜歡通過社交媒體廣泛分享這個想法。

“I don’t think obstacles are here to stop us，”Mr. Glover said in a video. In hisopinion， obstacles have been some of the biggest growing chances both for his mindand body in his life.

“我不認(rèn)為障礙會阻止我們?！备衤甯ピ谝粋€視頻中說。在他看來，障礙是他一生中身心成長的最大機(jī)遇。

In another video， Mr. Glover shared the story online of how he first realizedskateboarding was a possibility7 for him and it makes him keep improving his skills.“I might not skate in a normal way， but I can skate better than you. I was born withsacral agenesis，”he said in the video. His spine8 didn’t fully develop， so his legsare not developed.

在另一個視頻中，格洛弗先生在線上分享了他第一次意識到滑板對他來說是一個機(jī)會的故事，這讓他不斷提高自己的技能?！拔铱赡懿皇且哉７绞皆诨?，但我比你滑得好。我生來就骶骨發(fā)育不全?！彼谝曨l中說。他的脊椎沒有完全發(fā)育，所以他的雙腿也沒有發(fā)育。

“Since I was young， I’ve hated the idea of being in a wheelchair. Someonegave me their board and I just used it as transport ...One day someone was like，‘Hey， let’s check out the skate park’. I saw the facilities9. I just fell in lovewith it ...Skating is and always will be an outlet10. The feeling of landingsomething is just so good.

“我從小就討厭坐輪椅這個想法。有人送給我一塊他們的滑板，我只是把它當(dāng)作交通工具……有一天，一個人對我說：‘嘿，我們?nèi)セ骞珗@看看吧。’我看了那里的設(shè)施，然后就愛上了它……玩滑板現(xiàn)在是，將來也永遠(yuǎn)是我的一種發(fā)泄方式。著陸的感覺真是太好了。

“Life is open-ended. Just go out thereand try things your way.”

“生命是無限的。走出去，用自己的方式去嘗試吧。”
