Uncommon Snips - Not IPL or Paralympics Edition

I'm having trouble keeping up with the IPL T20 tournament. How are my Chargers doing? Someone come by and school me. 

The Paralympics are still going on in Vancouver, but I've turned a blind eye decided I'm not the guy to be covering that, but I will tell you that the U.S. Paralympic curling team is doing well, only they got beat by the Swedes today. 

In this edition: How blind people ski, an old article about the Jamaican musher from this year's Iditarod, a Greatest Moments slideshow from slate.com where most of the sports are uncommon, and a Peruvian man taught an Alpaca to surf.
