  • amazing, a true inspiration. I'm a runner myself and it always shocks me and strengthens me to watch videos like this. btw, great choice of song.

  • Just because you have a fake leg doesn't mean the world revolves around you and that you aren't gay.

  • @WindGod12 The dude lost his fucking foot and you're gonna talk shit about him? You're just jealous because he's got more drive and passion than anybody out there! Furthermore, it's quite brave of you to hate behind a computer screen when he's out there rewriting history. With all due respect sir, Fuck you.

  • @lvelikwinter that kind of language is just uncalled for.

  • nice man !

  • I bet if he got rid of that *parachute* he could go really fast.

  • Prostethic legs give people unfair advantages

  • @WindGod12 against who?  He was running against others with prostethic legs.

  • @WindGod12 yea...Like a lack of muscles. Sure certain muscles grow for compensation but it's not equal.

  • Dude he's my fucking hero

  • straight up inspiring

  • This dude is a BEAST!

  • this dude is a freaking machine

  • damn, this guy gave me inspiration, im not an amputee or anything, but hell if this guy can win a freakn gold medal with one freakn leg, why i cant do something great! and i have to legs dammit! makes me feel like im wasting my life, when i can make something of myself.

  • World class sprinters run like 10.1 at the slowest in the 100. What is your PR?

  • he's a fucking spastic should have been drowned at birth

  • @ukbarney1 Your a sick fuck and Karmas a motherfucker so when something shitty happens to you or someone you care about remember all the shit that you spewed out of that cum cather you got. WATCH.

  • @ukbarney1 You're just mad that he can run faster than you. You mad bro? You mad?

  • he's a fucking spastic

  • Nice video. Thanks.

  • I'm an amputee, left leg. This message, is.. truly inspiring beyond anything.. I am at a loss of words.

  • muscle=greater than prosthetic not bcuz of "weight loss on that body part" But bcuz you can use all of those muscles and tendons to push yourself harder. People that are hating on handicaps need to fuck off.

  • holy shit

  • i dont think, because he miss a little part of his leg makes him any faster -.-

  • this is amazing it's so inspirational

  • @katieandthemountains I LAUGH.

  • Oh ya i heard about this guy. He ran track in the Olympics or something comparable, then he had his medal taken away because he had an "unfair advantage."

    The guy with no legs had an unfair advantage in RUNNING? how does that figure?

  • @litlemidget he was trying out for the Olympic team, but he had to go for the Paralympic team instead

  • You would think that some one that has prosthetic legs could run faster cause your legs probably wouldn't way as much

  • @TheRunningComedian not necessarily, prosthetic legs can weigh quite a bit, and the body has to work twice as hard to make up for the lost limb

  • much respect marlon cheers from canada

  • much respect to all your hard work!

  • How does this time compare to Bolt? Just curious - anybody know?

  • @TommyC503 hes about 1.5 seconds off of bolt

  • @legalconspiricies Thanks- thats pretty damn impressive.

  • u lil faggot its not fair for u to have a robot leg thats stronger u little asshole

  • @Osabeans man go fuck urself faggot, makin fun of someone with a prostetic leg? really? just fuck off

  • "POOR LIL TINK TINK"

    

  • @ThePROTEGE44 hahahaha when i saw ur comment i couldnt stop laughin where was that from i forgot

  • Wow, you are fast! Keep running!

  • What was you doing sticking your foot in a lawn mower?

  • howd you lose your leg in a lawn mower ?

  • waw so inspiring and i dont talk like that

  • Amazing...What a Blessing to be able to overcome and push forward....God Bless

  • tink tink tink tink tink

  • POOR LITTLE TINK TINK

  • @omghahaxd star mothafuckin' playa

  • like running on a spring loaded lower leg that doesnt get tired. awesome!

  • That's it.

    I'm fucking blowing both my fucking off and getting carbon fiber bionic legs.

    Gold medals, here I come!

  • The leg definatly helps but there's no doubt it's still difficult to run that fast.

  • damn he's good

  • the thing he got on his foot makes you run faster and its proven

  • I want to see your proof. The best carbon fiber sprinting feet only give back 95% of what you put into them. I you think having a prosthesis makes you run faster you truly are an idiot.

  • it's just a matter that you can afford to have the carbon fiber technology. That's the problem with these type of sprinters, it's really a contest in technology, not natural speed.

  • Dude, you're wearing a carbon-fiber cannon on your right leg. Of course you're fast. Give me some bionic limbs and I'd probably be faster.

  • its disgusting to see people on here say his limb is cheating. Ive run w/ Marlon and i have great respect for him. How is it cheating if everyone he runs against has the same disability? In fact he doesnt have a disibility, all the people who knock him for "cheating" are the ones with the disabilities, seriously call the people who use steroids cheaters, not Marlon.....

  • @TheodoricII it's his foot, not his leg

  • @TheodoricII guarantee bionic limbs will slow you down a bit

  • wonderful vid and inspirational.

    lost my leg above knee last year and just now learning how to walk. Im getting there!

  • congradulations

  • Cheater

  • Lol look- usain bolt is the fastest man in the world.--- this proves that real legs that god gave us is still faster than any artificial legs ever made..

  • Not really, if there was 6 billion people with artificial legs I'm sure we'd see an even faster amputee.

    I have no idea how many people have tried running with the same artificial legs this guy has but even if we say its 1 million your still comparing a pool of 1 million vs 6 billion. The odds are stacked in non-amputees favor.

  • he isnt as fast as oscar pistorius

  • half a second is a VERY long time in the 100

  • 100 meter dash thats what its called

  • what class is this?? like racin wise

  • yeh they say WOW jus cuz he an amputee but clearly theres a SPRING in his step if u know what i mean...

  • I have to say your are very ignorant. I have 1 leg caused by PFFD (look it up). And being on a ton of prosthetics I can assure you that there is NO synthetic device that is anywhere NEAR what God designed. You think a spring makes him fast....dude you are an idiot, I bet he can hop faster than you can run. You dont even have a clue about alignment or what is required to walk, or how HARD it is to run with a fake leg in the first place.

  • so basically your saying all you have to do is keep your balance and then the spring is to your advantage....and also i KNOW i can run faster then u...prosthetic or no prosthetic....im not slow....

  • No what I am saying is that the "spring" in his step is nothing like a real leg. To trivialize this guys achievements like you are shows you are very arrogant. It is his God given athletic talent that allows him to run like he does...Not that stupid spring. And you saying you can run faster than I is like saying I can beat up a 5 year old....way to go -_-

    Its lucky for you that you can run faster than I, otherwise it would be too easy kicking your ass

  • you said he could hop faster then me....and since you want to kick my ass...3504 spring glenn lane augusta georgia....i dont talk shit online its lame...i do it in person

  • you have a small house and try growing some grass in your front yard.

  • hehe, your funny. You say you dont talk shit online...you do it in person? Well you started talking shit about this guy in the vid... Anyway, I am mostly ruffling your feathers by the way. I understand (and I dont take personally) people that dont understand prosthetics. Its not an everyday thing...But most people dont act so presumptuous about it. BTW, dont you know that you SHOULDNT mess with a one legged guy in an ass kicking contest! Thats cause I can leave my foot where I lodge it!

  • talking shit to me is saying your gonna beat my ass knowing full on well 9/10 well never see each other in person...im just saying he has an unfair advantage is all....lets stop this stupid and childish argument and get on with our lives?

  • "he has an unfair advantage is all" - lol, ok then, let's all cut our legs to have an "advantage"

  • holy crap.. just imagine if he lost both feet

  • At what point do amputees become cyborgs and present an unfair advantage over able-bodied competitors?

  • Serious discussions will start when they become faster than able-bodied competitors.

  • @PrecogDE he's quite clearly able-bodied...

  • we are NO where close to that right now. Think about how many nerves transmit information that allows you to make just your toes adjust to the changes in elevation, weight distribution, and balance. There is no "cyborg" leg that can even scratch the surface of this....Prolly the best leg "cyborg" type right now is Ossur's C-leg. You cant even run in it cause you will overheat the hydrolic unit and it wont work.

  • Jolty as hell

  • He's more gangsta than your punk ass will ever be.

  • this is one of the coolest video i ever seen :D

  • Marlon, thanks for sharing this... very inspiring. Wish you all the best for your recovery. May the force be with you. :)

  • Oscar Pistorius is faster with no legs...

  • WOW

  • More research needs to be done on the prosthetics oscar uses. The real argument is that Oscars prosthetics are actually too long making him taller than he would be naturally, which leads to a longer stride. With Marlon we know his prosthetic gives him no advantage, because if it were longer than his right limb his gait would be off. I hope everything goes well with your knee and you can make a comeback in 2012.. truly an inspiration for amputees, me including.

  • im actually an amputee and i just got a foot like the one Marlon has and they fit them to be a little long to compensate for the load compression that occurs at full stride so it actually is a tad long when he stands still but when he runs it levels out

  • Oscar pistorius is faster than him

  • Wait. How fast was that again? Fuckhead... If anything you should be faster then us NORMAL people, you have a lighter, more aerodynamic springy foot.

  • You fucking retard. I'd love to see you run that fast. COCK!

  • Well COCK. I can't run as fast as him, I don't have SPRINGY FEET.

  • OMG!!! Ive got tears in my eyes!

  • @TedInHell Aerodynamic ? Lol, did you look at the lower part of it ? It doesn't CUT wind, it god damn opposes full resistance because of the way the "spring" is oriented. Try getting a plank of wood and instead of running with it paralel to the direction you're running try running with it transversal. Having a prosthetic limb doesn't help you in any way. A real foot has no limits as to how much you can improve it's speed and strength. A prosthetic on the other hand cannot be improved by training

  • Do you put a shoe on that thing?

  • @lebisback they make covers that go over it, shaped like a foot, so you could wear a shoe on it, but those are specifically designed to be shaped and wore as they are

  • @lebisback thats only a running leg, for normal everyday life he'd have a normal prosthetic leg. my friend has one (:

  • @lebisback

    No, it had got spikes directly mounted on the sole

  • If You Had, One Shot, One Foot, To Seize Everything You Wanted. Would you Capture It, Or Just Let It Slip...

  • @TODAyTODAy102 LOSE YOURSELF IN THE MUSIC THE MOMENT U OWN IT U BETTER NEVER LET IT GO

  • no. 2

  • Isn't the South African double-amputee Pistorius faster?

  • correction he is the former fastest amputee cuz there is a guy with even less legs than this guy but he pretty good oh nd dat guy i was talkin bout its oscar "the blade runner " pistorius

  • Pistorius ftw

  • awesome!

  • marlon, you are frickin amazing.

  • Incredible!! Tim was right. He does have one incredible brother! Marlon, you are an inspiration!

  • im proud of you

  • This man is a hero

  • ur just jealous bout him...

  • besides this ain't even you

  • PISTORIUS ftw \m/

  • dumb people. he isnt cheating at all, it is an amputee race

  • big respect mate...!!i run 800m..!me record is 1.53...!!keep it up mate..!!

  • wow nice times

  • Marlon - you just blow me away! ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE life story(I'm familiar with it too!!) Above and beyond achievements and personal goals - a fantastic example for the world. I feel thrilled each time I read about you, or see a clip, or anything! You are awesome, Marlon! I'm proud!

  • good story  fast as hell

  • probably faster than my car

  • man ur fast

  • dude ur good man keep it up

  • yo much respect!!!!!!!!

  • The leg gives little advantage at all if any, it takes great amounts of muscle strength to work a prosthetic leg. So I'm sorry but I have to disgree with XXGUNNERSXX. I should know a thing or to about them I have to wear one to walk. Keep up the good work Mr. Shirley.

  • I have extreme admiration for everyone who cope with their disabilities. Well done dealing with your lot in life!

  • thank´s

  • second song?

  • ?! :) bon jovi "it's my life"

  • I don't want to be offensive,i mean this guy is really incredible,but his prosthetics are special: They're Spring Loaded. Spring Loaded legs can make people run up to 25 mph.

  • I got an idea, saw off your legs and let's find out. We can do tests. Prick.

  • he not cheating. from my point of view he would go alot faster if he dint have that lil thin on his legs.

  • SHARTUNA= cunt

  • joeyfarlinger sounds like a fat peice of shit

  • eminem: lose yourself

  • he is cheating with that spring leg. He is gonna scare the other sprinters with is tooth gap.

  • is that guy gay, he looks very queer

  • i fucked your mother...twice...how about some respect for these people? fuckin douche bag. grow some balls

  • LOL i tried that parachute running thing LOL when i took off hella fast in the begining that shit pulled me back and i fell on my bak =_=

  • half a second??

    isnt his world record like 10.9 or something?

  • 9,74 sec

  • im talkin about the amputee world record

  • feakin hot... wow

  • crap hes fast, and with no leg.........wow

  • U S A! U S A! U S A!

  • He needs to cheat more.

    Have like an engine attached to his "feet".

  • Wow! That boy's got speed man!  Full props to the guy.

  • what a beast you are fast as hell you would beat my ass easily and i have 2 feet

  • i bet thats super light

  • i say he runs on one leg

  • hmm ye. But I guess he's saying "I'll catch you at some point" :P

  • i run the paralympics, and he looks a lot taller on his running legs then he does in his normal legs, plus if youve seen him actually run, he doesnt exert a lot of energy bc he has no calf muscles or anything....nice guy though

  • whats everyones opinion on OSCAR PISTORIUS not being able to run olympics because his legs give him an "advantage"

  • I think he should be allowed, I mean he's got the same leg as this guy, except he has both legs.

  • OMG He's A F***ing Robot

  • WOW hes sooo fast!!! :) :O

  • Everyone says he's way to cocky........Now I believe them.......April Holmes is much nicer person....OSCAR PISTORIUS would smoke Marlon

  • i love that quote in the ending. i really need that because i am soo sensitve. and i don't know how to move on when i'm in high school. I need God

  • as a lbk(left below the knee amputee) i know that it takes about %30 percent more energy just to walk, so.... if your able to run like this guy then your in peak physical condition and this guy is fuckin fast.

  • Very soon you will be able to beat even Asafa Powell. You're a bionic man.

  • he's an inspiration...i'm a left bk amputee and to me he shows just what any strong willed amputee can do

  • Shut the hell up faget....can u beat that guy in racing...retard

  • I WANNA SEE YOU DO THIS BITCH!!!

  • i dont have a fake leg

  • you must not be thankful. -_- at least you have a foot! gosh...

  • This guy is very inspiring. I had the honor to hear him at CWA conference in Long Beach. Peace!

  • so much respect for your detirmination.

    true sporting hero

  • that fake foot of his just springs him faster

  • but everyone else in the race has the same conditions...

  • inspiration

  • He is AMAZING

  • lots of respect man!

  • good shit

  • fuck yea dude!!! thats sick. good luck man

  • totaly awsome you guys are great i could watch you all day

  • IM asuming thats you? Look at my teams 4x1 video. I am the kid who crossed the finish line last lmao. I geuss its just the wrong event for me? Awsome stuff though your at least 2 seconds faster on the 100m than the first person to cross the finish line(he was like #11 in the state or something) and Idk about running I do shotput but 2 seconds is A HUGE difference. good work thats pretty amazing you looked like you were flying
