At first I though this is a trick. No hander. But wow, to ride with one hand. Mister, you are an inspiration to the world. I believe it is hard to even pull up, when you jump.
Keep on riding and good luck. You rule! Wink


Amazing....

this guy really is a hero, when i had my arm in a sling for a couple days, i was on my bike the day after the accident, but i was not thinking bout riding trails, and this guy must be so dedicated to even be pulling this off, thats amazing man, you deserve POD just for your level of dedication. **notice how he has both break levers on his right side, hate to repeat myself but that showcases dedication at its best**

the strength in his right arm could match both of most peoples arms... watching him push up is almost as impressive as him riding down lol
