[vionamariane]

[WheelzOfFortune]

@vionamariane Aww, that is sweet. I'm very flattered, but yes I have a girlfriend.

[anthonykingatl]

@ WHeelz - shoehow I missed this vid. AWESOME !!!! But that must really be hard on your back. Your ab muscles must be like steel! Never continue to amaze me my friend.

[tattooedboy04]

Hmmm...I tried that, but I couldn't do it for more than 2 steps.

BTW, I got cast off a couple weeks ago and am back on learning piano.

[WheelzOfFortune]

@tattooedboy04 Great!  Glad to hear it.

[zerdda]

you are just amazingly inspiring.

[WheelzOfFortune]

@zerdda Thanks =)

[Romundus]

Your vids are amazing, especially the yoga sessions. Can you get up stairs on your hands? Was also curious, when, how long, and why do you use braces. They seem like so much more work for you and must really hurt your back after a while.

[WheelzOfFortune]

@Romundus Hi and thanks for the comment. Yes I can get up stairs by walking on my hands. It is fairly difficult, though. I use my braces mainly because it is recommended for all around health for paraplegics.

[chicageminis0106]

increible felicidad =)

[starbucksmochafrap]

[mapleclose]

Frankly, this is just amazing, Joseph .. a tribute to YOUR determination I guess

[WheelzOfFortune]

@mapleclose Thanks much. =)

[handihomo]

I am disabled too. And I admire you, how you walk with braces and crutches; can you contact me at :jpdestsauveur@hotmail.fr. I like also your music and your rabbit

[WheelzOfFortune]

@handihomo Thanks =)

[mahksintown]

Amazing strength and balance! Love to see this shirtless and in shorts! Cool!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@mahksintown Thank you

[mahksintown]

Cool! Love to see this shirtless and in shorts. You are too hot!

[WildKatCa]

Wow! You must have some amazingly strong abs! Why exactly is it harder with braces on? Do they just generally get in the way, or stop you from bending so much? I bet being able to do this comes in handy!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@WildKatCa The added weight is part of it, when I have braces on. The main thing, though, is that with the braces on my center of gravity changes.

[duke00382]

Tell me how do I get to you blog? You are certainly some one that I would like to follow. The songs are great to listen to and you are fab to watch. Can't wait for more, just let me know. I guess that you must live in the cooler climate area. I am from Massachusetts.

[wheelchairable]

what your real name and surname?????? wheeloffortune???

[duke00382]

I truly admire you and would like additiona information about how your injury happened and how you manage to sound so cool and calm about the situation. Hope that you would email me directly at duke382@yahoo.com

[WheelzOfFortune]

@duke00382 Thank you. I am actually planning, in my next video, to explain about how it happened and the various surgeries I've had over the years.

[blue2632005]

Great videos. You must have a huge amount of upper body strength! I'm sure not many people can do that. I know someone with a similar injury that would love to have alternate means of mobility like that. I look forward to seeing more stuff you post. :)

[WheelzOfFortune]

@blue2632005 It is definitely a helpful skill to have. Thanks for watching.

[swelguy]

I thought your songs were so cool (you have a very pleasant voice) Now I don't know which is more amazing: the handstand or the handwalking! You are too much! The vid of the handstand seems to be clearer and crisper than the others (hi def camera?). When you film that longer walking vid, I hope you'll keep your braces showing, so we can see the mechanism. Maybe you can explain the mechanism of how they work, and explain your crutch walking technique. Just some thoughts. Keep the vids coming

[WheelzOfFortune]

@swelguy Yes, you are right about the handstand one. I used my digital camera rather than my webcam for it.

[komet9]

hey, cool videos... kudos to you. That's something I'd like to be able to do. Great stuff, and I like the billy joel songs, man he's great.

[WheelzOfFortune]

@komet9 Thanks. Billy Joel is my God. =P

[duke00382]

@WheelzOfFortune Great and very encouraging videos. I only found them via the Orthotorium link. I wish you all the best for 2011 and please continue to post and let me know about the new posts. My email address is duke382@yahoo.com. Would love to share thoughts with you.

[WheelzOfFortune]

@duke00382 Thanks for watching!

[komet9]

@WheelzOfFortune Yea, I totally agree. The stranger is one of my favorite albums, once I started listening to him, I just couldn't stop. He's a great writer and musician with heart, really cool.

[paraplegicfoot]

fantastic video, i can't wait for your videos doing, the bed, get dressed, take a shower, but please show your feet.

[pedroeras2003]

Thank you very much for sharing these wonderful videos. You have a beautiful body and great strength in your arms. We hope to continue enjoying your videos. I hope to be your friend. A hug. pedroeras

[WheelzOfFortune]

@pedroeras2003 Thanks =)

[jansens2001]

Pretty amazing -- you have SCI right? Looks like you've got a lot of core and incredible balance. How long ago'd you get hurt, and I'm guessing you're incomplete. Maybe cool to show what your injury's like, what you can move and all. Congrats, man.

[WheelzOfFortune]

@jansens2001 Yes, you are correct that my injury is incomplete. It is at the T6-8 level. I'll have another video up soon detailing my injury/injuries and various scars/surgeries.

[wheelchairable]

your name is

[WheelzOfFortune]

@wheelchairable Slim Shady?

[crutchalong7]

Wow, hot muscle control there. Can't wait for more :-)

[WheelzOfFortune]

@crutchalong7 Thanks!  More to come soon.

[springbob]

Another great video. Thanks, again, for sharing with us. You are a wonderful young man.

[WheelzOfFortune]

@springbob Thank you.

[parachair]

And again I admire your strength and upper body control! Thanks for this cool video. Hope you have more ideas for the future!

[WheelzOfFortune]

@parachair Thanks again! I have plenty of ideas for future videos. I would like to do a video of me bowling soon and when the weather gets a bit warmer, I intended on doing a video of me doing disc golf and kayaking. I might even be able to do a rock climbing video.
