MICHAEL MILTON 'Take It To The Limit' 2784 views AUST
Speed skier and Paralympian gold medallist Michael Milton clocked more than 213 kilometres an hour to win the coveted title of the fastest Australian skier ever. When those accolades weren’t enough he trained his sights on the velodrome, giving himself just two years to learn how to cycle and compete in the Beijing Paralympics. Michael’s world of extreme sport becomes all the more impressive when you learn he’s achieved these awards with just one leg after losing the other to bone cancer as a child. But just as he locked down his career as a legendary athlete – and found contentment at home – another extreme challenge appeared from a very unwelcome quarter.

TEMPO TRICYCLES 416 views
Since my youth, the bicycle has always been a large part of my life, and has shaped all of my decisions. The work I do, where I live, who my friends are, what type of exercise I do, etc. It has taken me from a hobby to more than 20 years in the cycle business. Even to this day I look forward to my daily energetic hour of riding. For young people, the bicycle is the most important object in their lives. It's an extension in themselves. Riding a bicycle is more than just fun. For the intellectually or physically disabled, it can be the same, and more. SELF ESTEEM DOING THE THINGS OTHER PEOPLE DO DOING THE SAME - BEING THE SAME It doesn't matter whether the ride is on a regular two-wheeler, the back of a tandem, tricycle or on a bike with support wheels - he or she can gain those benefits.

The Combo kit will work with any 2X drivetrain (front and rear derailleur) Some photos above show actual applications on my own Top End Force handcycle (been using it since winter 2017) and a recent customer we installed on his kneeler Top End handcycle. These are the most difficult and demanding applications for mechanical shifting. If it can work on a handcycle, it can work anywhere!!

The camp, held each year in early May when waterfalls are at their peak and park attendance is moderate, is the brainchild of Rick Mason, the cycling coordinator for Access Leisure. “I got the idea during a visit to Yosemite one spring after a heavy snow year promised spectacular waterfall displays,” says Mason, 58, in his 40th year as a C6-7 quadriplegic. “I brought my handcycle and found there are bike and walking trails throughout the valley floor, and it is the perfect way to explore the area.”

EUREKA FREEDOM WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE TENT website 
 Spring is here and as the days get warmer so the need to go out and sleep in a field gets stronger, at least for some. Camping is the holy grail of wheelchair adventures, getting out and traveling wherever you want, pitching a tent and sleeping wherever you want to. Sure you can pack light and spend your nights crammed into a tiny single pole affair with barely enough room to do anything. But if you dont mind extra wieght, or have that team of sherpas to carry things for you, then the Freedom tent from Eureka is perfect for the wheelchair camper looking to do things with a little more style, and comfort. Watch this short YouTube video on the setup of the tent.

LONELY PLANET ACCESSIBLE TRAVEL PHRASEBOOK website 
 All travellers will get more out of their trip by being able to speak a few words of the local language, but for people with a disability it’s often vital to be able to explain your particular needs. Since standard phrasebooks are unlikely to contain the language you need to talk about needs around disability we’ve gathered together some disability-specific words and phrases and translated them into as many different languages as we practically could. Although things are slowly changing for the better, there are still plenty of barriers to travel for people with a disability – language doesn’t have to be yet another.

JAIMEN HUDSON - 'THE VIEW IS BETTER FROM UP HERE!' website 
 I have always been passionate about the outdoors, as a youth my days were filled with activities like riding dirt bikes, skateboarding, surfing and scuba diving. Learning to dive at age 10 only added to my love of the ocean. In 2008 I had an accident that left me a quadriplegic and in 2014 I became interested in drone photography and videography, although I wasn't sure I would be able to use the remote controller due to my reduced hand function. Since then though I've been lucky to have my work featured in many prominent media outlets and publications and have also won the Western Australia 'Young Achiever Award' in 2018. I hope you enjoy what you see...!
