Hey there
Thanks for the very kind comment. It's great to have someone post positive feedback as it kind of inspires me to want to do more. I owe a great deal of my success to a fantastic guy named Brian Bartlett who is from Seattle in the US. Brian came up with the revolutionary knee design you see me using and he is an absolutely tremendous role model to both able bodied and disabled people a like. Brian is a semi pro above knee downhill racer, check him out at www.leftsideinc.com or look for him on Youtube.
By the way all my best wishes to both yourself and your two buddies.
Thanks
Glenn

Hi Dan
How does it feel? Well I guess it's like anything else you get used to it and adapt. I mean at first it's totally alien. As far as I'm aware there isn't really anything like this knee on the market that allows you to stand out of the saddle and pedal as well as take some serious hits as an above knee amputee.
The Bartlett Tendon not only looks way cool and is a fantastic piece of design, it also gives you a big part of your life back, enabling you to get out there and show life isn't over after limb loss

A huge thank you for all your kind words. It's really great to know that by me continuing to ride and show what can be done with support from my sponsor Brian Bartlett and also Pace Rehab, it enables people to be inspired. It's been a hard road, when you receive good feedback from people and can see your actually getting the message out that "hey just because you have a disability it doesn't mean your life is over" it makes it all the more worth while.
Big thanks
Glenn
