One-legged Montana athlete wows on skateboard, slopes

Bozeman, Mont. • In May, skateboarding legend Tony Hawk shared a video of a man with one leg flipping a skateboard with his crutches while clearing a gap across the street from Owenhouse Cycling in downtown Bozeman.

Hawk’s video of the Bozemanite went viral. It had nearly 1.3 million views and almost 180,000 likes as of last week, the Bozeman Daily Chronicle reported .

The man in the video is Vasu Sojitra. The 27-year-old didn't expect Hawk would share it, but his videos often do well online.

"Most of the time all my stuff that I share that's skateboarding goes viral," Sojitra said.
