*$30,000* sure every American can afford one unless *NDIS pay for it*

You’re insanely great 🫡🫡🫡 nothing but most respect for you 🫡🫡

EDS not beung eligible is so unfair. I'm a cyclist with EDS and as I'm not eligible for paracycling I compete with able bodied athletes. Every race i get lapped or finish the race minutes behind everyone else because I'm symply weaker because of my EDS. One symptom of hEDS is weakness in the quads and hamstrings so I really don't get why zebras are not eligible.

Yeah that phone call is a lawsuit right there. I hope he's only absent from RUclips because his lawyer said he has to remain silent about it until it's settled.

It's been 2 years. Did he not get the Catheters in time?

Annoying.

Hey, I know you're not making these videos anymore, and I get it. I'm sure it was exhausting. But I just wanted to tell you how much they helped me when I first got my wheelchair. I went from "fuuuuuuuuuuck" to "fuck it, I can do this!" and I have! I still travel (only by car, so far) and go camping, explore the accessible areas of national parks and museums. And you really helped give me the can do attitude. I hope you're doing well, and again, thank you! 🥰

Hope you heal fast man

I'm a completely able-bodied person and got curious about this. This is a really well explained video. I learned a whole lot about wheelchairs and and people with leg disabilities that I didn't know beforehand which is valuable! More videos like these likely help so much other people with disabilities learn new ways to manage them. I hope I can learn more from RUclips to help understand the lives of disabled friends and family members. Thanks so much for teaching others! This was an absolute blast to watch! :D

I’m so sorry you live in the U.S. & not Australia….I hope you’re ok

Hi Richard, Hope all is well. Miss you God Bless.

This looks pretty awesome

Thank you so much. You have helped so much!

The government needs to place laws to restrict lying from medicare insurance, and doctors, and specialists and to make them do their jobs even from disabled people.

So is the catheter supply company.

The urologist is lying to you.

The hospital and Medicare system are such smart aleics and fishy.

So sorry that paralysis does all of this to disabled people. Too much ignorance out there.

I feel really bad for you. I wish the best for you.

I wouldn't

Thank you so much :D

So dope man . I'm on my forth chair and just got new one last November and I think it's off the thing is once your insurance approves it they built it I thought it was going to be better than my old chair but it might be worse . Iam going to contact my mobility company and see if the could come out and help me make some adjustments. Because Iam stuck with it for 5 years and a lot could happen in that time. I've been in a chair for 20 year's and my butt and my legs hurt so bad. I've used the low profile isch dish cushion for all that time and just switch over to the rojo air cushion I don't know if iam inflating it corrected but my old cush felt better... does any body that been a chair for that long recommended any tips or advise on cushions or angle on the chair? My lower body and legs are hurting so bad it is unbearable.. I got the new tilight aero t.. thanks 🙏

Yo what up iam a t- parah I did all the things you doing . Try to do it after 20 years of being in a chair your legs burn putting your leg over your wheels like that... I guess it all depends on your ingurry .. some humans are evil and yea they look at you like if you were shit.. but there are good people out too and they are the one that lift up your spirits and make u want to live... God bless all they people that are in wheels chairs and everyone that is hurt... Because it is such a mission .. specially the bathroom situation and stairs suck.........

This why i wear ROM

Thanks i am hemi and i hve learned something new from thi vid

I know this is 2 years old, but as someone who used to work in medical records, medical transcription, & as a medical secretary I used to have to deal with these very things. It angers me to hear that secretary continuously lie to you much less hang up on you over and over again. Is sounds to me like someone being lazy and doesn't want to do their job at all much less correctly. I am so sorry you had to deal with that and I hope you don't still have to.

most of these complaints are ridiculous. especially the ones dealing with safety. yes it's slow and for good reason. you ever hear of anybody who died after getting hit by one of these? i haven't yet. are the backing beeps embarrassing? yes. but i'd rather be a bit embarrassed then hit someone by accident. and truck drivers are human too. what a dumb analogy. and the orange flag? i'd rather be treated like a child than be run over because somebody couldn't see me.

This is an amazing video.

This video speaks to me on every level. In addition to paralysis, I have narcolepsy and it's a full time job keeping up with appointments and calling drs, pharmacies, and insurance. The frustration and exhaustion is so real and never ending. I hope one day things change and the unnecessary stress is removed from our lives. I feel like there's all this pressure to be hyperfunctional and "inspirational" but I wish there was more space to accept that some circumstances in life just suck. Sending hugs all around

How do you do this with out legs?

Thank you

Man! Thank you sooo much, I might be traveling abroad by myself (and my wheelchair), and I needed these hints.

I been in a wheelchair for 50 years. Paraplegic T12/L1. I use to be able to get sideways to things and the bath tub transfer for the to of the chair to a cushion on the bottom of the tub. Then leave the water in the tub and lift myself back in chair with one motion. You are young like me and I could do all that stuff. As you get older you will hurt your shoulder and such that when you loose muscle mass and break bones. You need to cath in your wheelchair and do you bowl programs in bed . Once you break a leg or get a pressure sore you will learn easyer ways. Been there done that. I even drag race for 20 years after I got hurt. I wore down and my shoulders paid the price. Try and get a eletric wheelchair ASAP. They are replacable your shoulder are not.

Are you okay? No community posts no videos

What is the name of your chair

Ha - first time out trialling a wheelchair in the mall and I had someone come up to me and ask what was wrong with me (MS), and then, could they pray for me. I so wish I had answered "nothing's wrong with me, what's wrong with you asking this of a stranger" but I was just gobsmacked by the weirdness of it all (needless to say I politely declined the prayer session)

1000 thanks to both of you. I was never shown how to make the transfers. I can do some things by "learning by doing", but I'm totally glad I found this video now 🙃👍

This is a really informative video. one of the characters in my show uses a wheelchair and a crutch. I want to have more representation.

I LOVE the chair but dont have money😢

I grab the push rim and tyre though I do wear gloves because i find the rims are a bit too thin for my hands. I do around 7 to 8 km a day between exercise and commuting and it keeps me me jacked and fit.

Why don't you have a seat belt so you don't fall because I use a similar active wheelchair and I do have a seat belt ❤❤ love your videos btw 😅❤❤

Its also difficult for mental disabilities that dont have physical signs. Especially for adults. People get really angry about non standard behavior when theres no visible proof that there is a disability. But yeah, wheelchairs too. Peoples faces when somebody in a wheelchair stands up. Even worse when that person actually starts walking unassisted. So judgy.

I feel very lonely. I got sick 3 months ago and now in a wheelchair

Hi I don't know your name. You definitely made me laugh.I have subscribed

Sorry for your accident but Your language is terrible

I put together a chair from secondhand stuff on ebay with big fat offroad tires and a really small tilite frame, it's been amazing to be able to face hills and tough terrain and inspires me to try to learn as much as I can to maneuver these wheels and kick ass with them! But learning the badass moves means taking tumbles. Today I tipped over backwards and hit the ground HARD. Yesterday I was doing great down a grassy hill when my caster hit a hole and I went flying sideways. Thank you for showing the spills as well as the amazing rides. It was cool to see you trying those tricks with folks there on your sides. I never thought about asking for help and having a friend spot me. Thanks for these videos

Impressive. But expensive

I am 55 and grew up in and out of a wheelchair, some of my time in the my early years things were realy bad because I could not do anything on my own, my arms and legs were effected by a car accident where my mothers car was hit and it messed my neck up, when I was 14 my back was due to a fall and again 2 more times years later. Right now I am able to walk some days on my own but looking at one more bad fall and losing use of one leg or both, a fall 10 months ago sent me back to the surgeons and therapy, no surgery just therapy and an injection to cushion my spinal cord and hope for the best, the scarring around the breaks and mis-aligned spine they say surgery now will do more damage and lose the little feeling I have and lose what little control I do have of my left leg. Growing uo how I did I do not have the same feelings of going out in public, for me it was normal to see someone in a wheelchair growing up and the same now, I see a person not their disability.

I got my first wheelchair today and was using it on my own. I got down a crosswalk curb onto the road but then I couldn‘t get up the other side and it was honestly terrifying, because I didn‘t know what to do and there were cars coming. Thankfully a trucker on the other side of the road saw me and immediately jumped down to help me, but i‘m now really unsure going outside which sucks. So thank you for this video 😊
