a bit of advice. I like wrestling. But am not 100% disabled. I am really quite active.
Is it possible to try?

Chairskating is allways fun! You have to build the right chair, to be able to handle the impact of a park. But t's well worth it!:mfrlol:

You could always try sea or whitewater kayaking, if you like the water. It's an upper-body sport- you don't use your legs. I paddle around and explore. I have a short (8ft 11 in)long whitewater kayak because it is small enough for me to handle by myse :H2kOther (26): :H2kOther (26): lf.

Hi!

My favorites are skiing and waterskiing. I used to do both on a regular basis before my accident, and just could't imagine my life without being on the snow or the water. Sure the trill is different (I used to be on the acrobatic ski team) I'll give you that, but I still have a blast enjoying the outdoors with my friends.

Have a good one!

Caroline

Try boxing against a Nintendo Wii; got me out of breath after a few minutes and no bruises (unless you hit someone with a controller!).
