  • Where is he from?

  • @ladybiker09 Minnesota!

  • there is no way this guy is c6-c7. he has too much lower body movement and arm movement. my guess is somewhere around t5-t6.

  • Alan is indeed a C6-C7 quad, his injury is incomplete so he has more arm strength then a typical quadriplegic with a complete injury. He usually calls himself a "capable quad" for this reason.

  • @FatRakoon Haha, you can get something like it on motability now they have 1300cc bmw engines and a ramp up the back so you dont have to get out of your chair.

  • Inspirational my friend.

    I suffered an accident 15 yeas ago and only 2 years ago I finally had to give up biking, but I need to get off my arse and do something like this... Unfortunately, money is not happening as I am unable to work anymore... I need to find a job I can do, but in the UK its bloody hard unless I am a blind lesbian muslim immigrant

  • I don't drive and I am disabled but if I did drive that kinda thing would be my ride!!
