Have you seen this on YouTube?

The lad obviously had a big spill & developed an amazing piece of kit so he could still ride...

Amazing (IMHO ;))

Fair play to the lad ...top bananna:salut:

Although if he had another off i would'nt rate his chances as his false arm is clamped to the bike.

A mate of mine lost a leg in a biking accident 11 yrs ago and still rides(zr7),he's waiting for his back brake to be modified with a thumb leaver on his handlebars,dispite his disability, still a top rider and it just goes to show these obstacles can be overcome=D>.

Indeed... Still wouldn't want to find out though ;)

Re: Have you seen this?
 

Crackin bit of kit that, maybe he has some kind of breakaway device built in i,e if a certain force is applied it will pull off those type of devices exist.

A lot of respect for people who have massive injuries and can still just carry on and learn to function as they would with all their limbs.

Re: Have you seen this?
 

if you watch his other video @ track, you can see that he has rip cord attached to his good arm (just like a jetski) in that if he comes off, the cord pulls the quick release on his prosthetic

Total respect to the young lad, I wish him every happiness for the future.

Cool use of technology, just shows what is possible 8)

But you what to know what is/was truly impressive??? Darrin Sharp, not just rode them, but raced bikes with one arm ... and when I say one arm, I mean one arm, no prosthetic! ... :shock:

He is capable of doing a SUB 52 second lap of Brands Indy like that too :shock:

To give a frame of reference, most average trackdayers struggle to get below a 1min (60s) lap, even the fastest trackdayers are struggling to do 55s-56s ... !! :eek:

He can do a 51.9 with one friggin arm!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

I haven't seen him for a number of years, but when I was despatching I knew a guy who only had one arm, he was as quick a courier as any I've known.

Re: Have you seen this?
 

Yup.Seen Mr Sharp race and that alone made the day worthwhile.
That was a couple of years ago.Is he still racing?
