#wheelchair #paraplegic #spinalcordinjury
im just sayin' a guy that keeps the bike that put him in a wheel chair has character we all should at least appreciate.
Hell yeah man
You guys are so inspiring, I've been in a wheelchair for 33 years since I was 18. My motorcycle accident was just one week after I graduated high school and I love what you are doing.
OMGGG CARLOS BE KILLIN IT ! Hes soo strong ! And brave doing all that shit still . HUGE INSPIRATION!
He sure does! What a great guy 💪🏻
@@Wheels2Walking God bless all
I like the toys, but the conversation was the best bit for me by far. The way you guys talked about addiction and coming to terms with shit was awesome. Honestly brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for the inspiration Richard and the email you sent me. Some days are a struggle still, but I will always remember your advice and I have been keeping things under control. Not quite there yet, but I believe I am avoiding a potential catastrophe by you sharing your story with me. Thanks man. Keep up the awesome videos ❤️
You can do it brother I belive 8n and if no one has told you today I love you man hang in there one day at a time
My accident happened in April… T11 paraplegic. I’ve been going through it, I’m back to living in my own apartment.. good and bad days.
Hearing you guys talk about addiction and how easy it is for people with our condition to wanna just give up, not get outta bed, etc.. also brought a tear to my eyes. Seeing all the adaptive equipment is inspiring, I love your videos, I’m glad I found your channel.
Thanks again ❤️
My friends don’t understand how I love taking the scooter to the store. I prefer the freedom of being on a scooter as a pedestrian. Freedom is so precious. I would love the ATV! However I have a scooter which keeps me from speeding lol. I shared this as you are so informative. Great story!
Thanks Laurie!
I like his car and his story inspired me His Jetske‘s are awesome and the ATV is Epic and I love the mods
It is pretty awesome!
Can u PLEAAASSSEEEE make a video about your story and your injury and recovery just explaining what happened and how you felt and coped and dealt with everything.
I have cerebral palsy, so very different circumstances... I got my first wheelchair at age three. NOW a Mom, I am teaching my daughter to live without limits.
Jessica Donoho bless your family and your self good luck
You need your own channel!
I agree with the guy down below make your own channel people will tune in it sounds super inspirational
This is also a great 👍🏼 recording
Just opens our paraplegic eyes to do a bunch of fun stuffs ,
Hey friend one more thing , Can you with other experienced wheelchair users make a complete detail video on deciding a Good active wheelchair with explaining measurements and detailing the small little things aspects of choosing a good wheelchair , how to decide a good fit and also very important about choosing cushions like Roho , etc
Yes! Working on making that video now 😁
Richard I just wanted to thank you for putting this out there. My husband was disabled from birth with cerebral palsy and although he could walk short distance he relied heavily on his wheelchair. But what always flabbergasted me was someone looking at his legs, seeing how badly outta whack they were and still calling him a lier and a fake. Unfortunately his disability caught up to him 2 and a half years ago and he passed away.
I to am disabled though not to such an extent as you or my husband. I still need my crutches and or the store scooter when I'm out and about. I can walk perfectly on some days, for a short period, but if I don't have some kind of support I'll regret it quickly. I simply cannot understand why people are so rude to disabled people or why perfectly healthy people feel the need to fake it.
I am very glad you are sharing with the world what being physically disabled really means. Again thank you. And thank you for letting me ramble on.
Don't know how I stumbled across this but wow! you guys seriously rock. Great attitude, communicate everything so well. Your honesty is off the charts. Editing keeps it moving along at a good clip. Power to you both!
Most underrated CZcamsr ever
Life is about surviving our tragedies, and creating meaning in our lives. These young men are taking on responsibilities, creating and giving inspiration and meaning to others! It's beautiful to see.
Jordan LeClair 💯💯
Love riding four wheeler, jetskis, snow mobiles and pretty much anything!! No mods needed on a Polaris 4x4 four wheeler. I've found people very helpful and accommodating when renting jetskis at Lake Havasu,AZ and in St. Thomas.
I love your channel, even tho I dont have any health issues you made me look at life from other perspective.. i saw you, random guy in wheelchair being so happy after all he went through with a smile on his face. I was like wow this guy is amazing, then i watched few of ur videos and realized that even if you're in wheelchair you would find mental strength,physical, will and motivation to go and workout in gym, make your self better pearson.. that motivated me so hard to just be grateful on little things we have in our life.. i mean they are nkt little but we sure don't notice them. Like talkin, hearing,tasting,feeling,BEING ABLE TO WALK? And every single day , since i saw u first time on yt i remember and how u actually made something out of your life even tho you are disabled.. thank you for your youtube channel, i love it, keep the good work
I may be completely normal, no injury or defect that has put me in a chair...I can walk and do everything a biped can do easily but I am so impressed by your drive to inform and educate everyone. No one is ever disabled...just are just more able as they get creative to do whatever they want. I've been binging on your videos and your enthusiasm and infectious drive to just overcome anything...yeah the world needs more people like you. Whatever you do just don't lose track of your inspiring others to just learn and don't give up!
And as an aside to ANY one, don't ever be afraid to ask for a hand no matter the situation, most folks would bend over backwards to assist anyone, seriously.
Just randomly stumble upon your channel. Even though I don't have a wheelchair, I can relate to the feeling of being watched and pointed at by people. Due to my chonic illnesses and mental health issues I have a service dog. Toghether with my medical equipment I always carry with me my "invisible" disability becomes visible for the public. I realy stuggled with that for quite some time. Nowadays I know that most people are actualy curious but just don't know how to aproach someone. Your channel could realy help educate people and make others feel like they are not alone. You have educated me about people in a wheelchair.
Keep up the great work. 👍
Thanks for this super sweet and kind comment!
The raw reality of this is amazing. I will keep watching and supporting. After I broke my neck it was such a shock.. I was stuck in the bed on a bed pan not out with friends and for an active teenager that was tough. Thank you for showing everyone who has had an injury they matter!
21 years after my illness/injury I still struggle with some of these issues. I have ridden four wheelers and wave runners without adaptions and is the most peaceful feeling I have felt. I wish sooo fucking bad I could afford to purchase these thing’s. Respect to those with mobility issues still living their best life.
Unbelievable Richard , I’ve been bouncing around on CZcams now for the last year trying to get knowledge and strength from these type videos. And today I found your channel and I am so thankful! Although my story is a little different but beyond that my story is your to the T! On June 30th 2018 I was struck by a van while I was broke down on the side of Interstate I-20 here in Jackson, Ms. my 16 year old son was with me but luckily he was unhurt. My leg was amputated on scene and he witnessed all of this, basically the left side of my body was mangled. Hopefully I had my 11 and final surgery two weeks ago because I haven’t been able to walk on my limb yet because it has been to painful. All the emotions, feelings , just everything that you went through I am going through now and obviously I have been confined to a wheelchair the last year. Before my accident I was police officer assigned to our traffic unit where I was assigned to the motorcycle unit. Your videos are amazing and do helpful. I hope there is some way we can possibly get together in person and maybe you can help me with some things I’m dealing with. I would be willing to come wherever you are Richard. You are definitely doing your calling, keep it up brother, would love to hear from you. Carlos amazing my brother!
By the way, Canam and Yamaha both sells ATV with automatic transmission. I'm driving a Canam Outlander 500. The only problem could be the height, the chassis is quite bulky compared to the ATV shown in this video. Great video (besides the loud music again), keep it up!
Thanks for the info! I have informed the editor about the volume, he will be improving moving forward 👌🏻
I don’t have any disabilities but ever since I was very young and although I’m still young (I’m 14) I have been obsessed with learning about disabilities mainly physical ones and I love learning about service animals, wheelchairs and more things that help disabled people get around and I know that when I’m older I want to help the people in this community because it amazes me how much people can adapt and I love your videos
I also didn’t mention that I don’t stare at wheelchairs because I find it like something I shouldn’t be looking at or something but if I catch myself staring and the person in it catches me I won’t look away suddenly because I admire wheelchairs because I think they are so cool and without them I know a lot of people would be home bound and I can’t imagine that and of course I’m it going to be staring creepily at someone’s wheelchair or anything just glancing over because I think it is cool
So glad I came across this video. I'm a T12 paraplegic from a bad bike accident. You guys went through some of the same things I did. Thanks
Thank you! Watching your video and listening to both of you really inspires me.
I was in a dirtbike accident got hit by a drunk driver broke my collar bone and my neck both legs both ankles all my ribs punctured lung and fractured lower spine I know exactly what’s this guys going through u can never quit or let people put you down coz of our conditions stay strong 👊🏽
Wow i am not paralyzed but i was in a wheel chair for 6 months and with only one side of my body broken hand and leg and dislocated leg due to also a motorcycle crash and wow its hard, mad respect for you guys and we the ones who can walk really don't apreciate what we have i learned the hard way, god bless you guys
Y do people dislike this video he had so much courage to be himself
I swear everything both of you guys said is how I feel, I'm still trying to deal with becoming handicap but its hard, I became handicapped may 8, 2017 and its been 2 years of a fight but I'm still going
I just wanted to say that you sound super strong and I just got handicapped awhile ago and this might sound weird but your comment made me feel happy 😊
@@lauraluoma-aho5133 awe thank you and it doesn't sound weird because everything they said made me happy that someone knows how I feel, if you ever need to talk my ig is simplyniquaa
@@SimplyNiquaa1 aww your so sweet and sorry I don't have ig rn (my phone kinda broke not my fault tho) I hope other disabled ppl in my area are as nice to me as you
@@lauraluoma-aho5133 i hope they are too, stay strong and keep moving forward the best you can, I'm still here if you need to talk
@@SimplyNiquaa1 thank you so much you seem like a very nice and smart person
You had me at “Key Largo” 😎

Thank you both for your strength
Congrats on 8,000 subs. I just stumbled on you today. I am not in a wheelchair but you are so inspirational. Keep up the great work
Wow!!! In one day you gained 2000 subs. I congratulate you for the milestone. I love your content.
Game hero kid 33k now 😀😀
such an inspiration shows nothing is impossible lv the vehicles once you learn to ignore the whispers and see your not just your disability but you are an individual with a few challenges than life becomes brighter life is important keep going keep inspiring others
"got a car, got some hand controls, PUT A TURBO KIT IN IT" lol this dude rocks. Get it' bro!
okay. i got to the car. That thing is dope, yo.
awesome glad your still having fun.
Inspiring positivity!!!
You're not the only one that feels that way but I'm glad you got to the point where you can realize that you still have to move on I'm in a wheelchair too I was born like this.
Your video is so motivated, that I was energize. I too got a spinal injury at T12, past 20 year's. Thank you bro.
I had a stroke at the age of 28 that paralyzed the right side of my body. Im so scared to do anything. Plus i have gained like 80 lbs
i had my stroke at 17 after a car accident im left side paralyzed my mother was told id never see walk or talk that id be dead in months. well... in 13 days it will be 12 years since my stroke ive been living on my own for 8 years now. I am in the end stages of building myself a golfcart mobility aid because im 29 way to young for an old lady scooter i plan on driving it across Canada to raise money for better stroke research of strokes in young people because lets face it strokes typically happen to seniors so thats the research the doctors learn from and i know if a senior had my stroke im sure they never would have been able to see walk or talk and be dead in months but i was a high school senior.
in-hospital I lost 20 pounds of muscle because all i could do was lie there in a coma for 6 weeks so they made me gain it back and i never really stopped i went from 160lbs down to 140lbs then up to 325 lbs but after a year I'm back down to 280 still considered obese at 6 foot 4 but I see a huge improvement on my energy levels and knees feel a lot better
from one stroke survivor to another all I can say is doctors only know what they were taught and they were taught strokes in seniors set your own recovery timeline set small goals achieve them and they all add up and become a big goal
@@MCscarfacematt ok no more talking make a vlog bro im able bodied broke some bones had couple of offs on the bike nothing too seriouse now now is the time for awareness i would happily subscribe and im pretty sure half the world would too
I had an Aortic Dissection 3 years ago and needed emergency surgery. I had a stroke during surgery and now my left side is paralyzed. I was in a coma for 6 weeks and my memory is messed up. I know how you feel.
I hope both of yall find your way
Just had a stroke in my spinal cord in March at 31. I never even knew so many young people had strokes. Don’t be scared of anything, keep fighting. I haven’t been able to gain weight I’ve loss over 50lbs but there are exercises for us. Don’t quit, I’ll be praying for your full recovery April. You posted 2 years ago so I pray that you’ve seen much more progress on your road to recovery
Wow. This is so inspiring and a huge motivation to move myself forward I love this movement and hope the best for these people.
How amazing people can be the blessing is that they are still in this world.
I had to pause before 5 minutes to compose myself. A lot of the things you guys are talking about are so true for me and hit a unexpected nerve.
Jason Gooden 💪🏼❤️

Omg this is crazy i have been subscribed to you for a while now and wow you went 4000 subs in a frekin day i freaking out i cant beleve it im so happy for you ahhhhhhhhh
I needed to see this 🙏🏼
my wife had a spinal cord tumor and surgery caused her disability. It's an incomplete injury but she isn't whole by any means. she can walk but is unstable and requires someone to help. her arms have problems so she can't use a walker or propel a manual chair. we are generally happy and lean on Jesus for strength and joy. but there are a lot of tough times where we just don't feel like getting off the couch. thanks for sharing your life here and we look forward to using your channel as a source of information and inspiration. carlos and mandy
I love your videos you are so inspiring ♡♡♡♡
That is inspirational.
I like the way you guys home the way you guys go about life like that it's really inspiring are you get for people to go through what you guys did and to come out on the other side and speak positive and and helps people I really does helps a lot I know it helps me when I when I'm feeling down and out and depressed at all that I watch a couple your videos and it like puts a total different aspect on my life and for that I appreciate that keep up keep it up
You inspired me to never give up
Wow, this is really amazing
This is so deep, this is so motivatin. Love you keep staying strong❤💪
Love u thanks for the motivation please never stop
Promise you I won’t 😊
You both are blessed to be alive. This video touched me. In 98 I was shot in my head by one of my old bf my left side of my brain is dead. I can't do a lot I forget and have bad headache feels like my head is on fire.
Hey there... i just found your CZcams channel and already watched half of your vids. I am completly healthy besides that when i start getting stressed the acid of my stomache attacks me and i cant move. When im outside i do notice people in wheelchairs but i am always thinking how i should react to them or even talk and so on. so your videos help me a lot with showing me clearly that the wheelchair is just and object and not the person itself. thanks for that
I want you to know that I’m not parolized but I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and this inspired me soo much to just keep my head up and keep “kicking ass”
Just found your page and I love your content! Keep up the good work on the videos.
Great video
Respect man 💪💯
Much respect to them
I just recently got a new ATV to take the place of the side by side I had a couple years ago that I had to sell due to financial issues. I gotta say the seating position of the Polaris RZR I had was great. I didn’t have to worry about seating issues or height. The power steering was a big feature for me. I knew how hard it can be to turn the handlebars while traveling at low speed or a stop. The seat also was less painful for me because you are leaned back slightly instead of sitting in a more upright posture associated with a four wheeler (my injury is lower spine and sitting upright without support is very painful). I couldn’t afford another side by side but I did find a Polaris Sportsman ATV. It is automatic and has an electric power steering option. Not only is your throttle on your handlebars but your brakes are as well with an emergency brake pedal on your foot peg. It has a hand operated shift lever that is similar to what you would have on an automatic car. I added a wind screen to take the wind off of my body to remove that variable, which can be painful after a bit of fighting it’s force. I also added a back rest. It’s not a racing seat that hugs you and holds you in one place but at the very least I’m able to get outdoors now. I have thought about making a couple different adaptive devices. One is a piece that would allow you to lean forward against it at an angle between 45 and 90 degrees to take some of your upper body weight off your lower back. Another would be similar but to lay back against and curve into the seat, almost arching your back to get as close to the position of those zero gravity chairs. The last one would be the most difficult because you would almost need to design the ATV around the seat. I didn’t get the chance to try out the Polaris Ace but it seems to be promising. A single seat RZR with the size of a normal ATV, with the added benefit of a roll cage. If I went with that my wife wouldn’t be able to go riding with me unless we got 2 so....
Man I love you Richard. (Man crush) your videos have really changed everything I look at
Hey man i watch your channel often i suffered a burst fractured vertebrae in a motorcycle accident 5 months ago i was incomplete i push every day to get back on my feet. Love the the videos especially this one I always go to it when i feel down about my injuries and need inspiration.
Always take care and God bless you
I'm wondering which three tourism destination you would recommend to wheelchair users? Or which three country is the most accessible friendly? 😊
Come to Navarre Florida
Stan Smith hey neighbor.. I’m in fort Walton
You both are so strong.
I just got t-boned off of my gsxr .... going through something similar, I broke my back very high up, thankfully I'm gonna walk again years from now but I'm nervous for a wheelchair... I'm still in hospital but gotta keep fighting. I'm getting skin graphs to cover my leg so hopefully it goes well. its nice to see someone who's been through something similar , although alot worse it's good u seem to be doing well
i used to be super active as well after my accident until i got a pressure soar then that stopped real fast enjoy it while you can
Wow this hit me hard. I’m routing for y’all 😊. I think it’s absolutely amazing what you’re doing.
I love your videos, your amazing :).
Another great video live your life People and enyoy it
Man im the same t7. Stay strong buddy sweet toys
Inpiration, it push me to keep going through dificult time. Thanks both
Love you Carlitoooosss, you have come such a long way and you're stronger than ever
Yes!
Goggll
Googel
Gotta be careful with that jet ski Witt the straps mighh want to develop different system if he rolled it and was knocked out he would be stuck underwater and risk drowning unlike a traditional jetski setup where you would just fall off if it rolls. Other than that awesome setup!
Great video! I’m a paraplegic (T-11) and am buying a atv. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos, just know that we appreciate you!
Your both champions! and i can relate, i kept my surfboard above my bed for 7 years after breaking my neck surfing.
Carlos is a good dude
As a student working to get my bachelor of nursing and want to help others who are in a wheelchair
Imagine the jet ski flips over
Pretty hard to do if you know what your doing. Just Incase they always go in a group so they can help each other out
Key Largo, Montego, baby why don't we go.. Oh I want to take you down to
Kokomo
McKayla Dill YESSSS! 😎💃🏼
Clean raptor bro sick they made it so you guys can ride
Nice vdo!✌️
Carlos, you are amazing! And a very handsome young man!
Can you make a story time of how you got hurt? I know you have told us some things about it, but it would be cool to hear the details so we could all learn how fast things can be taken away from us. I think it would be a great story for all of us.
GOLD
Ur my hero
Real talk. Thanks guys! T6
You’re welcome 🤘🏻
Totally inspiring. How do you get past the depression, addiction, and develop the motivation and attitude to kick ass like you do?
You are the coolest
