This guy is a true inspiration to us all!!! Thanks Motor trend for sharing this wonderful uplifting story. YOY GUYS ARE SOOOOOOOOOO GOOOD!!!
By far the best episode of The Down Shift so far.
It's amazing how people can turn such a life changing event into an opportunity to shine. Truly inspiring!
Has to be the sickest prosthetic leg ever. Looks so futuristic. That guy has heart. I cracked a smile when I read that he won gold at the X Games.
Human beings can be so amazing at times. The human spirit is one of the strongest things on earth. Thanks for bringing us this story.
Really inspiring. After going through a terrible accident like that, it´s incredible what he achieved, And when you hear him talking and see him riding, you can be sure there is more to come. Wow!
Wow. This video needs to get a lot of exposure. It's really award-winning. Touching content, very high production values. You guys should be really proud of this one.
This is such an awesome story! I can already hear the X-Games announcers " He finally landed the mid-air prosthesis switch" Ahh the tricks that will follow. Thank god for people like Mike Shultz paving the way!
the downshift show made respect alot of people almost every single time i watch it i get touched, keep it up.
What an incredible guy. My dad's a leg amputee from a bike crash and I can't wait to show him this video.
Outstanding! I love custom made precision hardware, and the compound action of the knee with the spring and shock is over the top cool and ingenious. Major next-level kudos.
Amazing story. Thanks for uploading it, and congratulations to Mike!
God Bless him. All the hard work he done paid off. Great video
This man is legendary. Great video.
Truly amazing! Shows what you can do with a little ingenuity, and a positive attitude.
Thanks!
Wow... Best episode on Motor Trend ever, one of the best youtube video i've seen actually...
i worked for Warnert when he crashed. you cant keep Mike down, with in 2 or 3 weeks after his crash he was at the shop riding bicycle with a prosodic leg and a smile from ear to ear. he brings positive energy into any room he enters, and is always looking at the better side of things. he is true inspiration...
You are amaizing, and what you do is just a blessing
really touching story, glad to see him not giving up on his career :)
Bravo Sir! Amazing story and amazing thing you have given to others!
its good to see that he gout out there and made something with his situation. i hate it when people are asking for sympathy. this guy is a baller
As soon as I heard/saw that he was using a Fox bike shock in his prosthesis, I was like Damn Right Fox better sponsor this guy!!! He is awesome.
This guy is a true warrior. I bet he came up with the idea not long after he realized his leg was gone for good. I mean he raced 7 months after it got taken away!
What a bloke .still rippin
You kick ass dude! Bet Fox racing shocks never thought they would be used like this. Awesome!
Epic! Cheers from Croatia wish you best of luck!
