Watching this guy skate (and do other sports) is like eating a huge slice of humble pie. He's amazing!

If anyone is in Orlando the weekend of July 28th you have the opportunity to see many more amputees involved with wakeboarding, rock climbing,BMX and skateboarding.

Looks like most of the events will be held at OWC.
