Growing up, I was
always a huge fan
of watching X-Games, and
I just really
idolized pro BMXers and, you know, the
pro skaters, and I
just thought: "Man, like, that looks like
a lot of fun."

For me, my spina
bifida never really
felt like it was
holding me back because, you know, it's
something I've always dealt with.
I honestly feel super, super blessed to have a wheelchair -- and not just the chair itself, but, like, the opportunities that have come along with it.

cab to control the crane, as he sits outside the driver's seat.

Being able to go
to the park and
being able to try
new things, I'd say
that's kind of
what keeps me motivated.
So, I actually had the opportunity to be able to name the sport, and it's called "WCMX," wheelchair motocross. So, it's BMX but with a wheelchair and, you know, cruising around parks and doing tricks.

To me, living forward
is getting back up
and trying again. Having the right vehicle
for me is
a huge part of
what I do. It's
a huge part of
my lifestyle to be
able to, you know,
have a truck that
takes me where I
need to get, and
I'm super excited to
be able to
team up with a
company that enables me to be able
to drive the truck
of my dreams and
makes life easier.
