WCMX BASICS TUTORIAL VOL.1

[@chikuwa0420]

My boyfriend damaged the spinal cord in an accident six months ago. I was finding your videos when he was so depressed. Both he and I were very moved by your videos. We are Japanese… we can hardly understand English. But we feel passion and happiness from your videos. Now,he is working hard at rehabilitation and can be caught standing by something. I appreciate having met a wonderful videos. Thank you.

[@MRreptile13]

marimozumikey8 Thank you for watching!! Hope he recovers well!

[@PanchomanPlusUltra]

You are such a great woman, keep him up, just make him feel motivated with this! 頑張れ!

[@leandrokillian9202]

i dont mean to be offtopic but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my password. I love any assistance you can give me.

[@BobMonkeypimp]

I can do wheelies all day & all night but thanks to you I'm going to learn one wheel balance. People are already gobsmacked when I wait in queues with the front wheels off the ground & zip about on my back wheels, so one-wheel cornering in the supermarket would make people flip out! Yeah I want to be a show off but it's better (at least to me) than people looking at me with pity. Awesome! Thanks for the video!

[@cjtheus]

I enjoy watching you perform these Tricks, but I'm too old 47yrs to be hurting myself now, I know if i was in my 20's most diffently i would be doing these tricks. I get around in my TILITE Zra Chair pretty good for a older man. Good seeing you again.Thank you and Wheels always for the positive encouragement.

[@Brolicpolitics]

Christopher Theus I'm in my late thirties and I do some of this stuff but yeah I think if I was in my early 20s would be doing a lot more of these than I do LOL don't pop up is easy

[@MRreptile13]

Christopher Theus That's what Troy said! He's about your age and kills it at the park! give it a shot! Thanks for watching!

[@ericcarcamo2360]

eres un ejemplo a seguir ya que como algunas personas nos ven en sillas de ruedas piensan que somos muy sensibles yo he intentado hacer el equilibrio en una rueda y llegue a pensar que era algo de mi mente y que no se podía lograr pero tu me haz demostrado con todo lo que hay en el video que se puede hacer eso y mas muchas gracias por todo tu contenido eres un genio de la silla de ruedas.

[@deputy_gingey]

Sick chair👍. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@thatdisabledude3321]

You inspired me even though I have a disease called osteogenesis imperfect and I get hurt easy but I do wheelchair basketball and I just flipped my chair over and broke my shoulder and back and ribs and collarbone but I keep watching your videos and you inspire me not to be lazy live life on the edge I say when life gives you a wheelchair dont let it become a Barrier find a skate park

[@chardbett8693]

[@friday1218]

Jerry Diaz How exactly do you do a backflip I've seen Aaron Wheelz do it several times.

[@MRreptile13]

Ricky Saenz you just pull back and hope for the best lol

[@friday1218]

Jerry Diaz do you grab onto the frame or on the the tires when you do this?

[@MRreptile13]

Ricky Saenz Frame

[@kevinbochette130]

You have some awesome skills man! I was wondering how you got all the measurements for your chair? I'm in a chair but it doesn't really fit that great

[@MRreptile13]

Kevin Bochette by phone. Just told me what to measure. Thanks for watching.

[@TheDatadump]

[@MRreptile13]

Loopwhoop Thanks for watching! Hope it helps!

[@jordan-wb2hb]

Hey Jerry, rad video! What brand or type of spine protector do you use? I’m new to wcmx & have never done other sports where I might need a spine protector. I don’t have a SCI, but problems with my spine & back muscles & chest muscles from cerebral palsy and other things, and I have wires around my sternum. I’ve just been learning about different gear and whatnot from wcmx riders, so I don’t totally know what to look for. Thanks.

[@matthodgson5223]

Awesome video mate, really inspiring ;-)

[@MRreptile13]

Matt Hodgson Thanks for watching!

[@thatsnotright7260]

Hey Jerry where do you get the lap belt that holds you in? I'm having trouble finding them

[@MRreptile13]

[@jstone661976]

[@MRreptile13]

Joseph Stone Thanks for watching!

[@jameynealey6555]

Jerry Diaz What is your level of injury? I really liked the videos they are sweet

[@alcatelevolve2859]

What kind of oil do you guys run in them bearings.

[@BobMonkeypimp]

I know this is an old question but ceramic bearings don't need oil & standard bearings like a little spray of good old WD-40. At least that's what I use.

[@T11paraplegic]

Cool channel

[@nitrosport5]

if you dont mind me asking, what does a box chair cost? id like a stronger every day chair. ive broken an axle tube on my TiLite ZRA and after seeing how thin it is, i always worry its going to break again. if the chairs can take this abuse, i can guarentee it will never break with day to day use

[@MRreptile13]

nitrosport5 They range in prices. You'll need to go on boxwheelchairs.com and find the chair you'd like (everyday chair) and click on order form. They have the prices there. I use my wcmx chair as my daily driver. It's a little heavier than an everyday version but I love it. Thanks for watching!

[@nitrosport5]

Jerry Diaz thanks man, i wasnt sure if he had a website or not. ive seen his work on instagram. im ok with extra weight for the peace of mind that im not gunna break it. im no wcmx athlete but i still seem to be hard on stuff.

[@MRreptile13]

nitrosport5 No problem. but Did you not watch the whole video?? I put the website on it.

[@nitrosport5]

Jerry Diaz i did, but i have a bad habbit of playing stuff in the background while im working on my truck. so i miss bits and pieces. sorry!

[@vladmihaivarga4487]

could I please know what kind of wheelchair you are using?

[@MRreptile13]

Box wheelchair man! Boxwheelchairs.com

[@bottonjohnny4488]

Very good

[@cjaydeep22]

Hello Jerry friend I use a wheelchair ti lite now but I like your chair and want to make something like you with a good fit for my daily use , I have a plan to visit San Diego California so want to know who are the dealers who can help make me the same chair that you have it in this video ... please let me know thanks !!

[@MRreptile13]

Box wheelchair. Mike box is the creator. He lives in Texas now. But has a shop in California that makes his chairs too.

[@blakedickinson7109]

Aye bro I’m a relatively new WCMX dude and I am having trouble keeping my speed up. I’m in Vegas and we got some good parks here and I’ve seen Wheelz do some sick tricks but when I try it I can’t seem to get enough speed or air time to do anything... it kinda bums me out. Got any tips for like preloading or anything like that?

[@MRreptile13]

What's up man. What chair do you have. Having the right equipment for the job always helps. I myself never seem to get too too fast. Me and Arron have hit up parks together and he moves insanely fast. Guess just takes years on the chair to build that speed and the right set up.

[@blakedickinson7109]

Jerry Diaz I have a box chair. I’m not sure the specifics... do you think adjusting the shocks it could help me get that spring?

[@ryanfrant1880]

It's dangerous and awesome at the same time, I really want to try it but my finger's grip is not too strong...

[@BobMonkeypimp]

Do what he does & use the tyres & pushrim together. I always end up with mucky hands because I always use both too. My grip strength is enormous but I just find it more comfortable. You can do a standard wheelie without any real grip strength, it's more about shifting the weight of your upper body.

[@ryanfrant1880]

@@BobMonkeypimp will it work with standard WC?

[@BobMonkeypimp]

@@ryanfrant1880 I learned to wheelie in a standard folding chair before I got my first rigid active chair. I'm not using any kind of WCMX chair though, it's just a Kuschall K-series. Was more difficult with the standard chair admittedly but as with everything it got easier with practice. Grabbing both the tyre & pushrim together just seemed more natural to me, a wider more comfortable surface to grip on to. With practice it takes virtually no physical effort to do a wheelie.

[@mtparker61]

Hi Aaron my name is Michael Parker I am with the DSAC (Disability Services Advisory Council) of Clackamas County Oregon I was wondering if i could use some footage from this Video and the Wheelz Gnarly Vedio for a PSA, DSAC is doing.

[@MRreptile13]

mtparker61 Well my name is Jerry not Aaron. And you can use any of my videos.

[@PanchomanPlusUltra]

Can I do this without walking disabilities? I know is a weird comment, it just happend that I love wheelchairs! sorry if it offend. Great videos!

[@BaVCMX]

I'm asking myself the same question

[@roycebyson2672]

I take a class to become a nursing assistant at an elderly home, and we have wheelchairs in the classroom that I like to wheelie on and try to do tricks on. It always feels like I’m doing something wrong because I’m not disabled, but it’s super fun. I’m wondering the same thing.

[@louiealouie]

Seems difficult but like so much fun..

[@linolium4814]

uhmm quick question do wcmx wheelchairs have brakes?

[@MRreptile13]

Luan Elià Kouradiantes most don't. You'll soon learn that you'll get your fingers jammed up in them.

[@zachdonat2608]

Where did you get your wheelchair

[@MRreptile13]

Zach Donat You should watch the video...

[@conradovianzonjr]

Can you give me your spare wheelchair like that?so easy to use and beautiful.

[@sdmfanthony5649]

don't you have issues with sheering?

[@MRreptile13]

Anthony Flanagan What do you mean?

[@morgancalvi6675]

I saw an article that said Mike Box lost his battle with cancer. Is he still living?

[@MRreptile13]

What? Lol he's very much a live

[@andredacostacunhasoares1477]

Bravo .....friends...

[@rebejohnston5714]

Hi Jerry it's rheagan

[@juliorafaelbeniteslitardo9493]

hola jerry, cuanto cuesta una silla asi, te escribo desde Guayaquil Ecuador

[@MRreptile13]

Julio Rafael Benites Litardo Prices change on things you add and stuff like that. Check on Boxwheelchairs.com

[@casemckinley3841]

I really want a WCMX chair, but my concern is every day life. Do you have any problems using your Box chair to exist outside of the park? I live in a rural area so small wheels would suck, but I'm ok with that if it means becoming as good as you at WCMX! So glad I found your channel!

[@MRreptile13]

Case McKinley Glad you want to take on WCMX! I use my skate chair as my daily driver all day everyday! I love it. But you can always change the from casters of you like to larger ones. I've done it a few times. Other than that and the weight of the chair,i have no problems with it.

[@phatcrayonz]

Dope

[@eljefecitobarca3480]

It works is all that matter to me

[@kewlbns69]

idk how you ride with 0 degree camber. i mean you can get up on the wheel easier but i'd biff hard on a fast turn. :o

[@MRreptile13]

Kewl Beans Well I really dont swe a need for camber. Unless your playing a sport that you are doing hard spins or sharp turns. With WCMX there isn't much of that.

[@narcisosantiagojr.5382]

Excelent waooooo

[@ranag850]

Awesome sir you are a hero for as IAM also disabil please if you don't mind I won't talk with you IAM form Pakistan

Gangster

[@lisarenee3505]

Man I wish I could get into this sport, but I seriously doubt the VA would pay for a WCMX chair. Hell, I can't even get them to fix the busted footplate on my everyday chair.

[@MRreptile13]

lisarenee3505 Apply for a caf (challenged athletes found) Grant! I got one of my chairs like that. where do you live?

[@lisarenee3505]

+Jerry Diaz, I live in Oklahoma. Unfortunately, my state doesn't seem to have anything like that... plus the state if flat broke and deeply in debt. My shoulders are kinda shot from too many bad parachute landings when I was in the Army too, but I think I could at least do the simple tricks & drop-ins on a ramp.
