I just transferred the Adrenaline Video from the buddy 1 leg series over to my new channel. I'm not sure I've ever shared this video on here before, better do it now.
This guy snowboards, hits jibs, Skateboards all on one leg and no fake one to help.
This guy should really be reppin some MTTHEORY on the mountain, people see him.
Please whore this video out....it had more then 4K in views on my old channel.

That's pretty amazing! a few thoughts though, he looks pretty good snowboarding and using the opposite arm to balance. But when he's on his skateboard using both wrists to balance, I don't think thats a good idea. Simple runs are fine but when he attempts skateboard tricks, he might easily break his wrists doing it. Fractures of the radial head is fairly common in the position he's in. I can only imagine how bad his carpal tunnel will be also after a while of skateboarding.

I think he uses his core and legs more then his wrist actually, but nothing is really going to stop him from doing what he loves, you now carpel tunnel be damned and all

if he can get 1-2 SICK tricks i'm sure he can get sponsored. I think he has a better chance with snowboarding than skateboarding... unless he's hitting the halfpipe.

He has a bronze medal for adaptive from a USAS snowboarding competition from about 5 years back when He was just a below the knee amp. Above the knee he's already done a Boardercross Race. He's part of the Adaptive Action Sports team. Guys actually got stuff going on.
