Well done brother, I am a T3/T4 Paraplegic 30 years now I am now 47 and for years never put any breaks on until last year when the chair roll out from under me leaving me sat on the floor. this happened as now my shoulders have got the beginnings of arthritis. SO Please never be tempted to get in with the breaks off as you will regret it. But be lucky mate Daron.

I love watching your videos so I can help my 2 year old son learn how to do certain things that he will need to know as he gets older, things that I won't know how to teach him. He was born with spina bifida L3-S5, complete paralysis below his knees. He is already mastering controlling his chair but I know there are so many other things he will need to learn. Thank you for your videos!

Outstanding blackpearlv6! Aside from your having overcome these obstacles, I commend you for having the strength of will to share it with others. I also am a paraplegic with very similar interests as you. As for riding though, I elected way back when I had my injury to build a trike. I can assure you that in 82 and 83 there was virtually no one on the planet to speak with about accomplishing that feat. Still, I always yearned for the leaning experience of a regular bike.

Hey Kyle, I'm the mom of a son who is a T5 SCI. His motorcycle accident happened June 2018 at 32 yrs old. It's been difficult for him to accept. I'm watching Brian's videos to get ideas, & I told my son about it too. His doesn't want to drive yet. Thinks he needs more core strength.

I was also impressed with the outrigger you built for your bike too. Also, like you, I drive a coupe (Menox-equipped 97 CL3.0) (Sweet setup). I use the Quickie revolution folding chair. It being discontinued is what drove me to your site actually. I wanted to see how easily the rigid frames effect transfer in a coupe. Doesn't matter if it takes a week to transfer! When folks watch me get in my ride, I always finish with saying, "Mini-Van is just not me!" Keep the rubber side down my friend!

I don’t lock my brakes but it’s a good idea as I’ve almost fell outta my car before cuz I have bad spasms and have had my chair roll back as I’m trying to get in and almost fell to the ground lol For me it’s easier to transfer if I put my right leg into the car first then transfer over into the car then put my left leg in. For me it seems a lot easier getting in if u have a leg in first. It kind of gives u more support too since u have the tension of your leg stretched out. Nice ride btw and your wife has some beautiful legs on her! Lucky man

@frankaguilo A folding chair with wheels and backrest would be very bulky. I doubt it could ever fit in the back seat even if I wanted it to. Folding chairs are also heavier because they have more parts and are less durable. At this point, this transfer is cake with this current chair.
@ParalyzedLiving
12 жыл бұрын
Actually, I chose the car before realizing how many "accessible" features it has. The power seat switches next to the console, the folding seat release on the back of the seat instead of on the side, the memory seats, the smart ignition key, bluetooth,etc. I have been to several auto shows recently and have not found a car on the market that is as wheelchair friendly as this one...and it looks bad ass. :) My only gripe is the gas mileage...17mpg city.

And has made progress with upper body strength 💪 and has learned to transfer to mat and he has only been there 7 days. His Dad started watching your videos while he was in hospital, and learned a lot of things that helped us care for him the last 6 months. Is there any advice you can give us to improve his attitude or build his confidence? He is very scared. His first born son was only 8 days old when this happened to him, he just turned 7 months old. Again we are so sorry for your accident love ur videos.

Just something I do - always put the seatbelt on my chair when it's on the passenger seat. Why? Well, imagine what would happen in an impact with all that metalwork flying around. I also wear my seatbelt while I disassemble / reassemble my chair as it helps with stability and stops me falling. I drive a 5 Series with memory seats and they are close to essential.
