Thought I'd start this thread to post things that interest me/ photos of me doing things I'm interested in. I'll start with some old photos (the first years in my chair 04-05) when I was trying any and every adapted sport I could find. Wall Climbing: Never been so sore. lol MonoSki: First time taking a (turn) since I broke my back snowboarding. It was a big day for me.. WaterSki: Also my first time out. They was impressed with my performance, so I was put in a small local magazine. <button disabled="" class="c-attachment-insert--linked o-btn--sm">Attachment Deleted</button>

I am really into art/music. I am a big hip hop fan, but I LOVE all types of music. I have been producing music myself for over 10 years now, I've worked at a radio station and a couple studios. Fun stuff~! Especially because I've been able to work and hang out with people I idolized as a kid.

Is there anything you can't do? (apart from the obvious )

Well, I like to think there isn't anything I wouldn't try. Its kind of how I ended up in my chair (snowboarding) I've always been the daredevil type. Been pretty physical and artistic my whole life, two of the things that make me the happiest. Music & Art

So which of these do you do on a regular basis? I know I could post pictures of all the sports I've done since I was injured (which is everything in your pictures, plus WC tennis, golf, swimming, sitting volleyball, WC racing, shot and discus, cross country skiing, table tennis, shooting, archery, weight lifting, and probably some others I can't think of) and it would seem like I am a sport nut, but it is pretty much just wheelchair basketball at the moment.

I'm great at sitting in the sun, drinks at beach, bowling on my Kindle and driving a dune buggy over treacherous terrain on Kindle, again.

There is something 'my life' has always reminded me... I broke my back doing the very thing I was in LOVE with (snowboarding). After my accident, people would always be reminding me "be careful" bla bla bla... LOL Thats what it started sounding like to me.. BUT the thing I find myself saying often is: I would have rather broken my back doing something I loved (LIVING), then to be a simply surviving (unhappy).. I made you some "inspirational porn"! lol Attachment Deleted

I posted those as "old pictures".. Honestly I have tried all those things you just named too! Just short of the 'shot and discus'.. Is that fun? These are just a few of the things I got pictures of.. I'm usually putting my energy into 1-2 of them at a time. Most of them where done just post injury, when I was all about "seeing what I could still do/get into.. I played Sled Hockey for years. Now its just kayaking, long boarding, & scuba.. Moved from winter/mountains to the beach/jungle.

I've never had the 'daredevil' in me, but 'music n sports' were very big in my life pre-injury, music post! Well a little of everything.. I play instruments, keyboard mostly, but I'm more of a Producer. I LOVE making music. I use to DJ long ago.. Worked at a radio station, worked at a couple studios. I played guitar for 7 years as a kid. I also enjoy writing, I do a song every once in a while.
