I doubt anyone can imagine the sensation of being that severly paralyzed yet throttling a bike. I assume the plan is when he stops to have people at each side ? Is there more danger of falling assuming he stays positioned a certain way given that degree of paralysis when he's strapped properly on light enough dirt bike on sand ? These are things one never thinks about. |

Planning is needed it seems.. He did try to ride a smaller bike, but fell.. Yes he was banged up some, elbows and such.. The larger bike was stable enough to ride around, and stopping required pulling up to the tailgate of the pickup. His pit crew grabbed him to prevent any more skinned elbows.. |

Since he has no control of the weight of most of his body, it would seem this might make for a higher oddly distributed center of gravity. |

Why didn't he pad his elbows ? Seems poor planning right there ! |

I would think stopping would be an issue. He should try a 3 wheeler instead that way when he stops he won't tip over. |
