wow mate how do u manage that??????
This is so sick. mad props.
sick man, your an inspiration.
Easily the best pod there has ever been.
I agree with huckoveraduch .. you're a prove of courage
Keep Riding
Keep Riding
Its great to see that you still manage to enjoy the mountain biking experience (two arms or not) !!!
It kinda looks like his arm is tucked into his jersey, It'z not thought because he has both breaks on the same side. Looks sick.
his arm is tucked into his jersey....its paralyzed not cut off.
If I were to choose between a pic of someone 360'in the grand canyon and this pic for POD....it'd be this one....this guy is amazing....good stuff man keep ridin
Look at this guy's album...hes wild...no wonder his arm is paralyzed...but thats life
THE CRASH WAS INSANE 
the sound on the vid is not coool
the sound on the vid is not coool
he should cut off the left side of the handlebars.....that would look cool i think (sry for my english)
awesome!!!! keep it goin mate! i hope this aint a joke lol, dnt mean that to sound harsh if it isn't but yeah...if its true good on ya!
this is no joke mate, go to www.myspace.com/ride_til_you_die to check out the vid of my crash, over shot the landing on a 50x25 gap and hit a tree. pulled 5 nerves out of my spine, had 2 operations an im back on the bike.
Do you ride with a steering damper so the bar doesnts turn to easily and the bike holds a better line? I rode some downhill last year with a guy with one arm, rippin in as faster than me. total inspiration. Props man
whoaaa, i just watched that crash. Bad one. I hope you get better. If you're still riding then you've got the right attitude to recover if it is possible to, and I wish you all the best. My friend hit a jump on his snowboard in france a few months back and landed on his head. They had to chip a section of bone out of his thigh area and insert it into the back of his neck/spine. He's lucky all has now is pain. But yeah, respect - no one can argue that you're a real biker!!!!
If this had happened to me, I can't put my hand on my heart and say Id get back on my bike... you are an actual legend.
dude you're a real tough guy. keeping the spirit all the time. hope the paralise isn't permanent. cheers from poland
i have 2 arms but am paralysed in the left arm, i have no idea how much if any movement i will regain =[
Dude, sorry to hear that. U betta keep riding. God when ur riding your gonna get such a built right arm lol. Hope u get better.
WoW!!! You have real skill, I realy hope you regain your movement because i watched that clip and it looked real bad how far did you fall ( This guy crippled on a big north shore drop) . I hope you get better, but keep em photos comeing.
how far did you fall ( This guy crippled on a big north shore drop) . I hope you get better, but keep em photos comeing. Hey dude, i love what you've done with the double brake on the same side of the bar. Clever, hope u get better.
Yeah, just noticed that. That's really cool. It looks like the index finger operates one brake and the middle finger the other. Awesome.
have just noticed that too and the first thought was that something is wrong here and it's not a 100% riding pic or just pretending riding but however, I wouldn't argue about it cos this pic has some deeper sense. and lookin at that detail made my eyes a kind of strange feeling just like when the pic isn't sharp enough but u know that it should be lol anyway radek made it clear and my eyes are ok now ;p
Hey mate, well done for not giving up and actually having the balls to go out and keep riding. Thats true dedication! You have my respect, keep it up!
