Great site and great videos...I have been tempted a few times to try (have tried different stuff on a smaller skale and are usually pretty fast and sorta wild in my chair) but since sometimes balance can be a problem, due to laison I have been staying away from skate parks still.

Ya, my friend scott who is on our chairskating team, is a T4-5 incomplete and one hell of a good rider despite how high his injury is.

Hmmmmm.........I do know the answer to that question...However, i'm going to allow my friend scott to answer it. Scott is a veteran and knows darwin's story far better than I.

ok for the record to be a veteran you MUST have served a minimium of 180 days of active duty and also recieved an honorible discharge. according to the VA palo alto and the inspector general darwin holmes served 151 days and recieved an other than honorible discharge. he doesn't qualify as a vet on two accounts according to the the fed's...oh ya and that was army national guard, not special forces. so you can come to your own conclusions.
