How to run FAST on crutches

Amputee running super fast on crutches.
When I'm not making videos, I'm a motivational speaker: j.mp/motivation...

[@adragic9228]

i can't run that fast with my feet...

[@ethansprague2005]

Alex Batista that's pretty slow

[@jamesmiranda1449]

LOL

[@kierrathorn5945]

this is such a great video... i'm a writer trying to figure out how to handle an amputee character in fight scenes and stuff, she's missing her right leg, and your videos are SO freaking useful. this channel is the holy grail of writing resources for me right now. good for you, thank you for sharing your sick moves with the world

[@DivineSteel]

Literally the exact same thing here. Plus Josh Sundquist is just a badass on top of it. Still, I kind of wonder if that technique would work as well for a female amputee just because of the difference in upper body strength. Ever found anything else on the topic?

[@JacksonJDoyel]

Wait, is this for the Walking Dead?

[@CERBERUS1O8]

I feel like you must be making a real Michael Scott type of production...

[@emilchen9866]

what book is it!?!?

[@rolffwolff]

LMAO same

[@davidjd123]

That would scare the shit out of me if I saw him running at me at night.

[@jamiecollinge540]

😂😂😂

[@alannahmcelvaney2490]

He looks like he's having the time of his life

[@elisewendy8756]

He looks like he's flying!

[@cartera1976]

I could never run that fast with two legs

[@z1booya]

Wow, you make it look so easy!! I'm just trying to learn how to walk with them without falling on my face.

[@Mel-pb5xw]

Omg… as a runner currently on crutches due to a femur fracture - and who is eternally grateful for your encouragement to scrap the underarm crutches for the SO much better forearm - I am super psyched to give this a go😁

[@timgreenwood5390]

Hey Josh. I am 68 years old and just had my lower left leg amputated in November. Have a prosthetic leg but taking time for it to be comfortable so using elbow crutches right now. Just entered a community 5 k race to raise money for the hospital where I received my life saving treatment. Got two months to train. Don't think I will run as fast as you but great to see your example. Keep up the inspirational work.

[@Aubrey9885]

hahaha i remember when you did that at national convention, i was freaking out because you were going so fast! you're hilarious haha :)

[@Gaorusan]

I broke my leg twice when I was young, and I used this skill too. If you practice a little bit, you'll be as fast as a jogger. It's most important to feel the crutches as an axis and rotate the whole body from side to side.

[@9622paige]

You must have amazing upper arm strength! I’m on crutches temporarily due to a ligament tear behind my knee and it’s exhausting

[@Mel-pb5xw]

Right?! I’m a runner with a femur (“hip”) fracture, & crutches have me more exhausted than running 13 miles!

[@CrazyAcrazial]

"the clip is going awesomeee..." ... "whaaaaat.... whaaaat"

[@timoffex]

i never realized how awesome you look when walking :O just sayin, that's pretty cool

[@alyshamacdonald4785]

The thumbnail looks like you’re dying

[@rilokrosal3619]

I'm going to end up not just breaking my already sprained ankle trying that but also break all the bones in my body. O.O :( I really wanna run.

[@peter4210]

I know this is old but, if you have a stilt leg extension, you could probably actually gallop and go much much faster, probably faster then a 2 legged human.

[@melikidis.i]

But it seems much easier to you because you have no leg (unfortunately), because people like me whose foot is broken are in danger of it hitting the ground, resulting in much pain

[@katyacheckina2677]

Dude, you're so amazing. Looking at you walk on crutches, it looks like you're just walking like a two-legged person. Also, I don't use crutches, but I really admire the videos you make.

[@AUDIOKRAFTEN]

Your Can Look Fabulous in Maternity Swimwear

[@felixvelariusbos]

You look so beast with those crutches. Like, I was expecting you to suddenly do like a spin or weird crutch-related break dance. Even though you didn't, I just realized how awesome that would be. (Crutch-related break dancing, I mean.)

[@ella_plays9615]

Me: Sprained ankle and fed up of being 90000 times slower than everyone else xD

[@MOBISHELEVEN]

I have been on crutches 4 times in three years this is currently my 4th so I want to learn how to do this

[@bigumpi]

Dude, I remember seeing you my first week of school! Well, you weren't really there but my school showed a video of you. This reminded me of the story where you had to outrun your friends after going cow tipping.

[@JoshSundquist]

Thanks!!

[@AMCmadmonke]

Bro playing gorilla tag irl

[@Maria-xn1ix]

I should really learn to do this, I don't think I'd use it much normally but it would be nice not having to think about what would happen in a situation where I need to run for my well being or life. I don't think I could out-jump a stalker or fire..

[@Rice_Wolf]

This is really important for my OC who uses forearm crutches from a spinal cord injury and is also gonna be in a grimdark/horror book. If I hadn’t saw this video he’d be very dead.

[@karlgillies]

WoW i'm also above the knee amputation, i found it too hard to use the artificial leg, i have only used the folding frame, to put the wheel chair in the wagon, and use the frame to get to the drivers seat. I guess you are not in Australia ?? i'm in Tasmania, Australia. I wish i had seen your video, in 2016 when i lost my leg, i reckon you can only learn from some-one who has the same disability, not these young people, who come out of university. I have ordered a pair of forarm crutches, on ebay, should have them, in a couple of weeks, i'm 62 now, and in Australia, a disability like mine, you can't get a pension, which is crazy, you have to look for work. Thanks Josh, for the great video, and your incredible, hopefuly it will help me. Thank-You .

[@HimeGirl15]

@estelgreenleaf nice! and well, I have a friend who is ALWAYS underestimating me. She's competitive so that only makes matters worse. "I'm stronger than you", "I'm faster than you", "You have one leg. You can't even do [insert ability]" (sadly, her mom is just as bad with this) and it pisses me off. I have this disease called "Passive Aggressiveness" so I always let things that she says, go and I look over them which = bad for me because it just makes me want to ditch her as a bff. (continued)

[@MYChemicalLyrics]

you are not a one legged man, you are a 3 legged hero

[@MagisterElmberg]

@bitchslapper12 what ?! do you think that? this man is showing people how to run on crutches. I crushed my leg in a motorcycle accident but the doctors were able to save my leg but my knee is fucked up. I will never be able to run again until I saw this. So show a bit of respect

[@HimeGirl15]

@estelgreenleaf (continued) She's a great friend overall, it's just those few things that she does that gets to me. I guess I could blame myself though. I never tell her or her mom how I feel about their underestimations about me, so how would they know, right?

[@estelgreenleaf]

@HimeGirl15 Hey, it's cool. People tend to open up to me automatically. Not sure why. But yeah, no one ever thinks I can play any sports, or do anything for myself. It's like, "seriously, I'm fine. Let me do my thing!"

[@RyNsWoRLD]

broke my foot once, fell over a lot. crutches are hard :( not just that, but its like 20x faster than i can run, next thing i know there will be a guy with no hands that can juggle better than me, no offense lol

[@tyki007]

I'm learning, I live in DC so I go to the national mall a?lot and run around in my old marines uniform doing this and people just stare at me and laugh. ( I don't blame them I probably look really dumb.) :)

[@mapleclose]

Well now the NEXT challenge for you Josh is a marathon surely :) See an Italian crutched the Chicago Marathon in 4 hours 40 minutes or something I think ... How about you giving it a whirl? Ivor (England)

[@TheTwiggiiness]

You, with one leg, run like three times as fast as most people. If I tried that I probably would end up breaking my appendages and ribs and various other structures, which does not sound like a good time.

[@HimeGirl15]

@estelgreenleaf Yea i always do the skip run thingy. Which gets me some what far, but not where i want to be. I want to perfect THIS! I'm kinda sick of people underestimating me...

[@HimeGirl15]

@estelgreenleaf oh wow. You didn't mean to literally tell you about it xD. HAHA!! I was wondering like "Why is this dude asking me about my life through youtube?..." LOL!!

[@only1timeful]

that scares me you know how painfull that would be if he fell? i was sittin here sayin o god please dont let him fall. that would be horrible. btw this guy is hilarious

[@estelgreenleaf]

@HimeGirl15 I've been working on this technique and surprisingly, it's actually working for me. And as for people underestimating you, tell me about it...

[@venameri]

I just finished reading your book "We Should Hang Out some time" It hits me really hard

[@musicsnafu]

when i saw you run across the stage during a speech, i had no clue how you could go so fast. blew my mind. thanks for unblowing it lol

[@Mjolkmaestro]

is it just me or does people always do tutorial videos in garages? :P Anyways: Probably great video.. I dont know since i still have both my legs :/

[@UndertakerMistress]

@BossSause1337 Don't take advice from trolling ray william johnson...I watch him too...but no need to say that on a video...-_-

[@video198712]

I've always done the skip run way of walking with my forearm crutches (even though my therapists never liked it until my orthopedic doctor finally after years of the therapists complaining about it, ) he said that how I was walking was fine with him and then they stopped complaining .

[@tnuoccaization]

You have said before that you like to go on walks. Do you ever go on "hops" around the block without the crutches?

[@aspenc13]

the slow motion part made u look lik a pogo stick ( total no offense, i luv josh and im not trying 2 hate on him )

[@martonszabo5745]

These crutches are flying as thoughts in the wind. Quick, funny, interesting & "nice" /& I read it somewhere:beautiful/If maybe a Stump Beautiful, maybe an one-legged run Beautiful, too/I read it somewhere too in a comment what It's written from. another video/Ps. All my respected is Yours & Your inspiring videos.

[@Martin-zx3gd]

You have very good,beauty videos.And You have same humor.12❤/10

[@jackdaniels6753]

That's very cool! You're skilled on your crutches. I'm looking for a new pair today. Guardians are fall-apart crutches anymore it seems. What brand is that? I used to be energetic like that. I swing through on mine.

[@p1elover]

Dude the way you run and move about its as if you have 3 legs ... You use the crutches so naturally .

[@JacksonJDoyel]

Bro you're a human kangaroo! Fuckin' legend!

[@TheFootGal]

Damn I couldn't do this! But wait until I'm pro on my Knee scooter! I have some tricks for you ;)

[@ilovefunnyvideos216]

were the people laughing AT you?? give me the names of all of them, thy need to be taken care of...

[@dachadoodle7146]

Mine are only old worn out undersized Auxiliary crutches, so it probably won't work well and thanks for the very important information

[@Nebulousgardens]

I got myself crutches today cause I have a bad leg and it’s probably gonna be permanent. This looks fun to try so I’ll give it a go

[@dcsk8ter80]

wow thumbs up for uper body strength, p.s. ur really cool thanx for coming to my school

[@skrinnit]

bro i got excited when i saw this but then found out it was for amputees. i am not confident enough to try this in case my injured leg slams into the ground or my crutch scrapes the ground

[@typewriter131]

im 12 and i hve a bad hip but this won me 5 bucks racn mah freind on meh crutches

[@luminatewade]

Your like Micheal Phelps! But it doesn't envolve water or running for that matter.

[@SimplePLan4life23]

[@g.e.dworld_n_lens6611]

[@Fridderz]
