AARON 'WHEELZ' FOTHERINGHAM 2509 views USA
You call it "skating", for Aaron it's "Hardcore Sitting". Either way, don't try this if you're just a skater dude. Aaron created this new discipline from his desire to grind, 180°, and yes, even back flip. His new action sport has not only opened the door for a new facet in progression, but has raised the bar for all other riders/competitors. If you talk to Aaron though, he is as content with competing and learning new tricks as he is with teaching others with disabilities how to master the necessary skills to be a HardCore Sitter.

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. - click the image to visit this site -

RAIDaptive DIVING website The RAIDaptive program was designed to bring the sport of diving to persons with disabilities by adapting the RAID Open Water 20 course to the abilities demonstrated by the diver with disabilities. The RAIDAptive Course is designed to teach individuals with disabilities to become certified divers with the goal of using certified RAIDaptive Dive Buddies to compensate for those skills that they cannot independently perform. The student will be certified according to the following Designations: Designation 1- The student must be able to perform all skills independently with the exception of Entries and Exits Designation 2 - The student must be able to perform all skills independently with the exception of Entries, Exits, Emergency Ascents, Maintaining Positive Buoyancy at the surface by oral inflation of the BCD Designation 3 - The student must be able to breathe continuously and monitor gas supply. The student will require assistance with all other aspects of diving. To become a certified RAIDaptive Open Water diver, the students need to have basic swimming skills, be comfortable in the water, and should be in a good overall health, have a mature attitude, sound judgement and self-discipline to follow the guidelines that they will be taught for safe diving. Medical clearance from a registered diving Doctor is also required - click the image to visit this site -

BJOERN ESER & 'THE ACTIVE AMPUTEE' website I am Bjoern Eser, the creator of The Active Amputee. I am a father of three amazing children, a husband to an equally amazing wife, a thankful cancer survivor, an outdoor enthusiast, a passionate development practitioner and a very active above-the-knee amputee. I have set up The Active Amputee as a resource page from amputees for amputees. It aims to inform, it aims to inspire and it aims to engage. Nothing more and nothing less. It‘s as simple as that. At the moment The Active Amputee publishes a new post once a week. - click the image to visit this site -

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...! - click the image to visit this site -

TOM DOUGHTY - LAP GUITAR TUTORIALS website These tutorials have been developed by Creative United and Tom Doughty to offer an introduction to playing Lap Guitar. Specially created to accompany workshops on his tour of the UK’s 12 Spinal Injury Units in early 2019, these tutorials are for anyone with limited upper limb movement. Creative United is part of a consortium with OHMI, Drake Music, Youth Music and OpenUp Music, whose aim is to make music and musical instruments more widely available, particularly to disabled people for whom playing a conventional musical instrument may be difficult or impossible. - click the image to visit this site -

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. - click the image to visit this site -
