How many people in a wheelchair and still ride?

- Start date
Have a great friend who is in a chair and he rides with us all the time. Usually if we meet up with people on the hill they don't even really notice. He does seem to hate trees a little to much though.haha Seriously one of my favorite guys to ride with and I will pull him out anytime, anywhere.

I am a T-4 complete, paralyzed from the mid chest down, and ride all the time. The only mod I have done to the sled is add a lefty and put a combo bag on the back of the seat filled with foam to keep me from going off the back of the seat when getting crazy. Strap my legs together but not to the sled, don't want to get rolled by the sled.

Skied with a couple guys with their sit skiers, never thot about sledding. Hats off to you.
It aint about what you can't do; it's what you do with what you have.
