[@gregbrandhorst3725]

My little brother had a motorcycle accident the left him paralysed from about the middle of the back down. He was and still is a pastor of a small church and was riding a bike he was planing on getting when a car forced him off the road. I've been watching your videos for years but any time you talk about you accident or anyone's I make sure to point them out to my brother. He has taken them as inspiration and our relationship has changed for the better since then. Keep up the progression, both of you!

[@aaronoechsle3434]

I can’t compare my injury to a neck or spinal cord injury but i suffered a severe arm injury on Memorial Day this year. Shattered my elbow to the point I nearly lost my arm. Your videos are a huge reason why I have pushed my PT and recovery so hard. Thank you for doing what you do Scotty

I had a whole lot of Luck when i technically broke my neck (c2) a few years ago but only had to spend one week in Hospital. At that age i dont think i could have handled a spinal core injury mentally and i dont know if i could now. What i actually want to say is that it is absolutely amazing and inspiring to see you two pushing towards their Goals and handling the situation so well. Thx for your work Scotty, im hyped to see riding videos from you again!

[@jobrownsmith116]

Wow, you really did get very lucky as a cord injury that high up is not good. Were you then then fused? I was hit 3yrs ago at the side of my head above my fused. My neck snapped to the side. It looked like my c3 broke but flew outward and away from the cord so no new injury.

20 yrs ago I broke my back slightly mtn biking and basically walked it off only to be plagued by random weakness and motor function dysfunction years down the road. My injury isnt even close to what these heroes are going through but I say heroes because the toughest battle we as humans will ever fight is against the ego check we receive when we are reminded just how delicate we really are. There is so much more to dealing with injuries like this than just the physical parts. Stay strong guys and Thanks!

[@romy4593]

This is a heart warming but also very sad video....my heart goes out to both of you young men!! My son in law broke his neck in two places as a teenager on a motorcycle that he wrecked but he is a miracle with few that had this happen to recover as he has. He was flown to Harborview in Seattle. This man a decade after that became the owner of a mechanics shop! He can lift heavy weight and recovered remarkably...unbelievable! He has strong legs, is muscular and has a completely healed body with no disability. However my own Mother was a victim of a violent crime and spent 31 years as a quadriplegic in a care home... She was afraid to live out in the world after that. She was only 24 when that happened. She had limited hand use and didn't walk.

a pal was in a rehab facility & friended a guy who lived the kind of life that allowed him to have a 52’ Hatteras sport fishing boat. he was over 50 miles offshore & dove into the Atlantic to cool down. he dove directly into a Sea Turtle & that impact caused him to become a Quad. He’s now able to walk with assistance, but is a long way from where Scott currently is. I’m sharing this, because fate smiles on us all: Extreme Athletes, Sedentary Gamers, Rich, Poor, Young & Old. the Way to Live is to Live with Love & Compassion for All & to not Sweat the Small BS in our Lives.

I restore vintage audio gear and a few years back had a customer contact me about wanting to buy a restored radiogram. I happened to have one that i could sell him. He had a complete spinal injury which meant he could not move at all. When i delivered it to his house i found it quite confronting to see him just lying in bed unable to move. He could only just manage to talk and his room had to be freezing as he could not maintain his body temperature. I found it very confronting and of course felt great sympathy. I will never forget that day and the courage that this guy showed in wanting to keep his hobbies going. Respect to everyone with a disability no matter what kind.

I’m a C5/6 incomplete. However I have no faith my situation will ever change. I can feel everything below my injury my pinky and thumb both move freely but my fingers are curled. I have full bowel/bladder control. I can basically feel and move everything but I can’t walk. Success in my life is accepting that a physical disability isn’t the end. You can accept your disability and still have a wonderful life CO’s that’s what I’m doing. Newsflash is you can’t work a nerve like you can strengthen a muscle. This isn’t a muscular or a bone injury. The spinal chord is a series of nerves. That’s why our specialists are known as neurologists. Nerves can’t be strengthened or fused back together and that’s why we remain paralyzed. You can’t exercise your way to fixing a spinal chord injury. It doesn’t work that way. Ask Superman. Oh yeah. He died of his spinal chord injury.
