Scuba Steve & his truck

This is my buddy "Scuba" Steve who's a quadriplegic(medical terminology for anyone who has loss of movement or impairment in 3 or more limbs. Which includes not having full function of hands, which is the case with Steve) getting into his truck outside of his body shop. The truck is on airbags, next time I've got to have him get in and air them up to lift the truck to ride level.

@lakers3003 Steve is actually part of the Tampa Generals Quad Rugby team. Google your youtube wheelchair or quad rugby and you'll see. Its like regular rugby, but played in wheelchairs by quads.

@RiseLazarus23 Hey man, sorry it's taken so long to get back to you. I don't seem to get email notifications for every post someone makes. But where do you live, perhaps I can point you in the right direction. If you go on my account & watch the video with the big burgundy Silverado, that's mine & me getting into the truck and driving from my wheelchair.

@boosted240 nooo I told that to @14ducksfan in because of his lame comment "boring" ;)

[boosted240]

@CampKillaVilla why not? Paraplegic people use the same kind of stuff that Quads use.

@RiseLazarus23 There are a lot of adaptions and modifications made bro... Try doing a google search for "quadriplegic hand controls", or "hand controls for disabled driver". Either of those should get you pointed in the right direction.
