  • Testing out my new off-road wheelchair from @NotAWheelchair on some more rugged trails in Kananaskis at Elbow Falls. The new chair is an amazing piece of adaptive outdoors equipment that allows me and other disabled folks to get back outside. SO excited to be testing it out all around the mountains this summer!

    Congratulations Kelsey!!! I’m disabled and have been looking into these too! I can walk but i just can’t go too far without having problems from my back. Fortunately as a car and truck enthusiast, I’m really glad I can still drive! But I really miss being a Certified Master Automotive Technician and working on cars. Looking forward to seeing all the things you’ll be able to do again!

      Yes not even close on the 3 point turns yet - but maybe one day! We went out in the snow for the first time today and I told my mom I would pull her behind me on skis!

    Hello Kelsey, I did the paved trails at Elbow Falls last year and frequently go to the Bragg Creek trails with a little foldable scooter that is really meant for light duty pavement trails. I have seen this and was thinking about it as using my scooter on the trails is more than sketchy! If you are ever on the trails or live close to Calgary I would love to see it as it will help me make a decision. I try not to let my MS get in my way and this would sure help let me go hiking with my girlfriend! Thanks so much!

  • @KrauseHayden
    @KrauseHayden Před 3 lety +8

    This is so cool! :) How is the suspension? I wonder going on a trail with that would cause me neck pain, or whether it'd be okay. It looks like the weight is distributed over a fairly large area!

    • @TheChronicExplorer
      @TheChronicExplorer  Před 3 lety +6

      Its actually fantastic! Obviously you would need to be more careful taking it on really rough and uneven terrain as even with the suspension you'll still get tossed around a bit but i''ve found it great. I find my regular powerchair causes me a lot of issues even just on paved trails it often causes backpain and some subluxations (thanks EDS) but this chair hasn't caused any of those issues yet even with me being a bit extreme with it at times.

    • @TheChronicExplorer
      @TheChronicExplorer  Před 2 lety +1

      I haven't heard of that one! I will give it a look! My chair was around $5000 US and is made in Utah by Utah Tricks. They can be ordered from notawheelchair.com/ as they are all made to order!

    • @auttumgraham5549
      @auttumgraham5549 Před 2 lety

      Utah Trikes partnered with the creators of The Rig, Zack and Cambry Nelson, so they could manufacture them for a larger group of people. The Chronic Explorer gave the link to the site. I would recommend checking out Zack and Cambry’s channel, “Jerry Rig Everything”. They show the process of creating The Rig and it has a great reason behind the build. 🙃 So sorry about your helicopter accident. 🥺

    • @umop3plsdn
      @umop3plsdn Před 2 lety

      terrainhopper is nice but it's the cost of more than a vehicle like 18,000 compared to a fraction of that with the rig i guess it's really down to what you can afford.

  • @TinNguyen-rx3mf

    Hello , This is Nash Gutierrez, I text y’all three weeks ago that I was interested in buying one of these bikes for my daughter who has CP and that I was working with a park ranger because they’re putting new paths at a mountain that’s nearby and our ABC disability group is helping to get other special-needs people out there and also wondering if you had loaners working with a park ranger.

  • @austint7533
    @austint7533 Před 2 lety +2

    Literally no one cares about saying “handicap” or accessible.

    • @TheChronicExplorer
      @TheChronicExplorer  Před 2 lety +1

      Lots of disabled people care actually! Handicap is a pretty outdated and offensive term so its best if we try to shift to using terms that are more current and embraced by the community - in this case accessible parking or disabled parking does the trick!

  • @AintWorkinNoMo
    @AintWorkinNoMo Před 10 měsíci

    Accessible parking is offensive to me so I respectfully request that you stop using that terminology. Accessible means it is accessible to everyone. As for me, I am handicapped so please quit offending me with this woke bs.
