The world is full of people who give up too easily....thank God for people like you who give it their all and then some. Thank YOU for being a positive example of strength and independence for all of humanity.
Why do ppl have to put comments about this guy not being a quad? As a C6 quad of 32 years, u can tell by how he sits and moves ect that he is a quad. Just because like me, he has not given up, and found ways to be as independent as he can that does not mean he is not a quad. Unroll you've lived the life, don't make assumptio
I have been driving a car since my injury at age 18, I'm 38 now but will probably get a van after I'm 45 or so just to make it easier on me. . Good luck.
I have the normal down for gas, push for brake controls and a tri-pin on steering wheel. This car has electric seats. I now have same controls on my 2012 vw sportwagon but no power seats so I had my modification company add a spring to the seat base and a strap so I can pull the seat handle and move seat up or back, it working great.
I'm using a tilite ZR chair with 26" (590) sprinergy everyday wheels, schwalbe marathon tires with Q-grip handrims and aluminum scissor locks. I modified the female socket for my wheelie bar to make it so I do not have to push the button snap to insert wheelie bar.
Here is the therafin board as a template therafin..com (2 HAND HOLES & NOTCHES- design.) But I like the ultraslik surface better on their board - I used the ultraslick board but had the board routed to match the cut outs of the therafin. Hope this helps.
The board, I cut out a notch on the sides that hook slightly on the tire so it hold the board in place while transferring. You can search therafin sliding boards.
Ger Der, no, it was a legitimate question. And he answered it below. Do you see he says he doesn't use his fingers. Well I have a brother-in-law whom I have been caregiver for off and on for the past four years. So I am far from ignorant. I wish my brother-in-law would have pushed himself more and learned to do more. He kind of gave up.
I have a quad friend who did this for years before getting a van, they have no use of their fingers, but does not stop them from hooking objects with them, he's been in a chair for over 20 years, lives independent most of the time, has girlfriends he often hangs out with, cares for himself tho. I am a para, I prefer vans, not just because a wheelchair lift for entry, but the engine access, so I can do my own repairs to keep it on the road, I get out of my chair and crawl under it when necessary.

You are doing great.

Excellent! I'm the same level just three years post. I put an FZ1 down. The custom board cut-outs hook on chair?
very very inspiring video good bro
The board, I cut out a notch on the sides that hook slightly on the tire so it hold the board in place while transferring. You can search therafin sliding boards.
and consider d's locks, they are a game changer
The cut outs on board hook on wheel/tire to keep the board from sliding out.
Great video. How long did it take you to do your first transfer without assistance?
Vedran, sorry about the delay on responding do you still need vid without the text?
Hi there, which ti lite model do you have and is it pretty lightweight to lift it in? Thanks in advance! -Jessica
Hi I m from India . I m c4 c5 but cnt do transfer or any thing .... u r good who taught u ?
You are an example to me. can you show me your HAND CONTROL on your car? Thanks and good luck
what kind of adaptations do you have inside the car I'm just curious?
I see the fin cut & understand.
I guess I could have got a face shot. Maybe next video
no finger use, c-6 c-7 quad.
Chris Daubitz, wow, you are doing great.
how can you say you're a quadriplegic? You have complete use of your hands and arms. That is not quadriplegic.
