Rick Hansen - Always has been, always will be, one of the great Canadian heroes! I still remember getting dragged out of bed as an Elementary School kid at an early hour because we wanted his autograph. I didn't think he could get much more awesome ... but definitely succeeds in this video. Gotta be a personal Hansen highlight, along with seeing him bringing the torch into the Olympic stadium :)
I'm not normally a Mercer fan, but this was one great Mercer/Hanson "2-Ricks" moment!
I was getting butterflies just watching.
-A nasty thought: How about we recruit Steve Fonyo for a bungee dive, Fonyo the anti-Man-in-Motion/anti-Terry Fox, now stripped of his Order of Canada medal after racking up a string of felony convictions.But for Fonyo, he should have the bungee cord wound only around the far end of his prosthetic leg! The question: would the leg and/or Fonyo survive such a bungee test??
I'm mean,I'm a little afraid of heights, but can still enjoy GAZING over a precipice. But LEAPING OFF a precipice into an ABYSS?! Well, maybe not!
Perhaps the scariest height-fright I've had was the "Helevator" ride at the PNE (Pacific National Exhibition). Since one Helevator ride was more than enough, and I didn't enjoy it,
I'm guessing I'd feel pretty much the same about bungee jumping (which I understand is
also an indefensibly exorbitantly priced "entertainment")
Thank you so much Rick this video is inspirational. My efforts are dwarfed compared to your accomplishments I am a liver transplant recipient and I am a mission to raise awareness. I am hopeful your viewers will take the time to see my video on YouTube it is called organ donation Serge Vaillancourt. The gift of life knows no boundaries it only takes for one to care about others.
Rick Hansen and Terry Fox always make me proud to be Canadian and make me feel humbled by the wonderful things they accomplished . We are so lucky to have such heroes among us. Way to go, you guys. Inspiration for our nation...
What a WONDERFUL WAY to start my Sunday morning...totally excellent all around. I'm still wiping the tears of laughter from my eyes. You guys are amazing and truly inspirational..but alas I am still a CHICKEN
Rick "squared" twice the funny! Loved the banter, the inspiration, and the possibilities message delivered with fact and funny ! Mr. Mercer you should make this a regular segment- Anything Ricks can do...
Strong message Rick. Please see. ( organ donation Serge Vaillancourt ) on YouTube. I am a survivor. This is an attempt at reaching out with another strong message. Great video.
Rick Hansen is my sons hero! My son has a disability and Rick called him once and shared some of his feelings and experiences. He left my son believing that ANYTHING is possible...
@chipmunkis watch out fella psycheldelicvideos is a troll and gangs up on people with regulatorjc aka djjeffclive.....do not talk to this idiot.....click on his name and see the comments he has sent me... he follows me around the net
very awesome,being a canadian I remember watching Mr Hansen throughout his Man in Motion tour in the mid-80's. Terry Fox and Rick Hansen make one proud to be a hoser.
I love how the dog at the start of this episode is all like "This is why humans are idiots"
