Default Any other wheelchair user on PT.net

Well ive been a member here for a while and i sure 99.9% of you guys and gals dont know that I use a wheelchair. I know there is another member here that uses one.

I just thought it would be intresting if we are the only two or are there more rollers on this board.

Its funny when i pull in a handicap spot with the truck idleing sounding all mean peoples reaction are everything from "You dont belong in that spot" to the gear head guy that just seems astonished that i dont drive a mini-van.

To those that are intrested I am not shy about answering question about myself and i certainly dont get offended easily so if you want to know anything just ask.

I also play Murderball (wheelchair rugby) that will tell you alot about my personality. If you dont know what it is its worth a quick google search.

I know of at least 2 guys. I doubt they'd be offended if I said their names, but you never know. I'm sure one of them will post up.

Some of my best friends are in wheel chairs.....








naw, I'm kidding but yeah, I've noticed a couple of members who are in wheelchairs.
I spent over a year in one after my leg was reconstructed (motorcycle accident) and I got pretty damn good at wheeliing around.
