I know personally as an amputee, I'm very grateful, though it's never easy, that we live in an age of technology and breakthrough. I thought this was cool! Via Amputee Coalition.

So a good friend of mine, Aaron losey, who runs our entire drift series here in texas, decided he was going to give out compliments to friends. Well here is what he said to me. im posting it because its pretty accurate! you take things for granted until something so extreme happens that it wakes you up sometimes in an instant, sometimes over time. but either way it changes the way you see everything around you, and allows you to experience life in a whole new way.

Because giving up, no matter what your dreams or passions are, is just not an option. Being handicap doesnt have to be a handicap. Get out there and do what you love. If you have the want, you can do it.

I relate to this a lot personally. For me drifting, and building/driving cars is one of the biggest things that has gotten me through all the crap ive dealt with since my accident, and still deal with. It really is a therapy, an escape, A way to just be free and do something that you, and others, didnt and sometimes still dont think you can do. Take a watch.

this blows my mind, i suppose its easier when you dont know anything else but having 1 leg, but still. mad props to this kid. I use to skateboard, it was a big part of my life for years, and ive since tried with my prosthetic and to me it feels nearly impossible. I dont know how this guy does it, but its very inspiring. take a look.

i have switched to a vacuum pump socket as of today. the doctors/prosthetist hope that this will help to prevent my sores and blisters. I am not that happy with it coming from a pin lock socket. the amount of knee movement is significantly less. I suppose its one of those things you have to get use to. anyone else have these sort of issues? I dont get enough follower feedback or stories anymore! whered everyone go!

A lot of people get into racing because it's fun, or because they have the money behind them to do it, or simply because their parents did it. Not Rob Parsons. Paralyzed in a horrific accident two years ago, he's building a race car for a reason. He's not trying to repair his body. He's trying to re...
