I agree with the users who said you were cute because you are really hott!! lol and I watched you make a ham & cheese sandwich in another one of your videos and it looked soo delish...but I totally love your vids :>
What an inspirational video. I sustained a SCI six years ago, and although I can walk...I have nothing but respect for your resiliency. Amazing and so very inspiring. Wishing you the best!
Ive been watching your videos... accidentally stumbled upon them. You are an inspiration whether you see it or not man. Truly shows people there are no excuses! Take care man!
Nice video. Thanks for sharing. Would be great if you could share with us on our social network for sci's . google "pushrim" you will see "life after injury". Take care :)
I don't know why you have the gloves on? I have a hand disability and I find that gloves make it much worse! I do everything w/o gloves if I can. Those gloves looked to be more disabling than the disability it's self!
The first thing I noticed upon watching this video, was how little room he had to get off his van ramp, thanks to the idiot who parked too closely (and perhaps illegally) beside the spot!!!!
A legal sized file box strapped to the foot plates of a wheelchair also can work. The trick is to make sure the lid won't flop shut because it is really embarrassing when you are questioned for stealing.
You know I rarely ever see anyone in a wheel chair here where i live and i just think that its horrible that it should be that hard to shop for groceries. Makes me feel greatful but also mad that the grocery stores don't get someone to assist you. Especially since you only have a small basket, don't you have to go to the store alot.
The grocery store where I am have slightly smaller carts, I use one of these b/c I also use a power chair to make life a bit easier. The store has offered to help, I would rather do myself. I do let them load the van though! Everybody figures out a way to do the things they need to do.
This is an excellent video! Well done. You are educating people and opening their eyes to many things. I was thinking how high items are on some shelves. What if you used on of those sticks that you speeze the handle to reach things. Don't know if that would work for you...or...you can just ask a pretty girl in the store to get something down for you. I am SURE they would oblige. ;) Great job!
Why does someone have to drive him? He clearly drove himself. He used the control to close up the van in the beginning. Maybe you need an educational video on how we drive too? FYI I drive, I shop, I clear snow, I cut grass. Yep, Wheelies do it all :D
good for you to go out and do that by yourself. there are some people who get others to do that kind of stuff for them but im glad to see that you are independent. you really made me think about how easy i have it. good luck in all that you do!
Two things that would make life easier here: 1) someone should manufacture remote-control front doors (push a button and the front door closes and locks),
2) In grocery and other stores, a pager should be available for anyone who shops from a wheelchair. The patron simply pages for store staff when needing something on a high shelf. Otherwise, you couldn't eat anything stocked on high shelves: what a thing, to have to make dietary choices based on where an item is stocked!
There are door things like you talk about out there, and you made a very good point about the grocery shopping. I'm a c6 quad myself and can only reach to about the third shelf from the floor. All of the junk food or canned food is stored at this level. I can never reach any of the "good" food, unless I go shopping with someone, or someone is nice enough to reach something for me after spending 10 minutes sitting in front of the shelf trying to get someone's attention.

I don't think he has good control over his fingers, his hands look like they are moving fine, but I'm no expert. :( I feel so bad for this man, give him a reward for this.
With all due respect, the last thing most people with disabilities want is pity. And they don't want rewards either, for being able to do something most other people can do. They just want to live their lives like everyone else.
Dude, the whole time I thought the basket would fall out of your lap. Its a shame I don't know anyone nor do I rarely see anyone who is disabled. I don't think I'll truly care until the day I look in the mirror and see its myself. Maybe people should give up a little food for thought.
i don't think his hands are working that well either >.> if u watch around 4:10-4:12 u tell that he have some problems with his hand. i'm not a doctor but i recall from somewhere that sometimes when your legs or feet isn't working it would sometimes affect ur upper body/hands
you are very strong and have a lot of courage! You´re very cute and is an inspiration to everyone. I love your vids and I hope watch more of them. Cheers. C

In regards to the questions about the gloves:
1. it was cold outside.
2. they provide extra grip when pushing the chair
3. I can't extend my fingers, so the length of the glove provides a little extra reach.
