Any other handicapped riders out there?
- Thread starter smokindave

7 years post, L1 incomplete. Motor function was left pretty much intact though. Just enough to give me a small taste of what living with a disability is about.
Big props to everyone who puts themselves out there. Ride on!

Any other handicapped sledders in Colorado? PM me so we can get together if you like.

Bummer, I did not know that. Sorry to hear.
Nothing to be sorry be for. Really. Yeah it's a bummer some days. But others are good. Sucks when you ask a woman out and she looks at your cane before she looks at you. lol
But I would not want to be with someone that is like that anyway.
I was breaking in a Brand new one day old 98 CR250 for the race season. Instead of jumping over jump I went down one side and up the other. Well I was on the right side of the track for slow traffic. But a guy came from across track, I mean totally across. And hit me from behind. Never saw it coming. Not much I could do. Thats life.

You should just road trip to UT and ride with me and PJ sometime.
Maybe In Feb. Takeing a trip to go scuba diving in the Phillippines in Jan, I Hope. If all goes well. that is.
Right Hand Brake
My son is missing his left hand from mid forearm down as a result of an ATV accident when he was 14.
He still loves to ride. Dirtbike, Quad, Sleds....
I set up the sled with a brake master from a YFZ450 quad. Lines match up and no leaks. Have had it on F-7 and IQR. Works great. Here are a few pictures of him riding

One armed now from injury in avalanche last winter
Im with some of you now..riding one armed. As a lot of you know, an avalanche in Mccall last March has left me with a nerve damaged dead left arm. Theres a chance it might slowly come back to about 50% use in the next year or so. Still prayin daily. Im just happy to be a member of the one-armed club because thank God my broken neck, femur, ribs, and head injury have healed. Bring on some pow turns! Lets do this guys!

I have been missing my right leg from the hip now for 46 years and have been riding motorcycles and ATVs for years, and have been snowmachining for the last 14 years, and an avid archery hunter and target shooter.
so having a handicap does not mean we can't do a lot of things it just means we may have to adapt to things a lil differently sometimes, so Kudos to all those out there who are enjoying the great outdoors dispite there handicaps!!

Heading to West Yellowstone with my buddy the Professor (T11 Complete Paralysis) We designed and had a friend fabricate a custom made seat for the M-Series. Gonna give it a few trial runs in the Mountains over the next few days. We'll keep ya posted on how it works.
Good for you two! Been waiting to hear a little more in depth reports of "professors" re-entry into big time sleddin.
Be careful. Cya.Hi guy's another T-5 here. Motocross accident back in 98. Been sledding only for a year now and this is what I have been missing. I got hooked up with Sledgimp and Marc at WRP and building a seat right now. cant wait to get it on and try it out. This is a great site and I look forward to riding with you guys some time.
