    ben451, I've seen a lot of dumb comments on our web site, but yours is a hall of famer. Ricky James is paralyzed from the waist down. That's why he has that kart seat and roll cages on his bike…

  22. E Brown says:

    I am paralyzed from the chest down and just rode for the first time in 3 years thanks to Jesse Gildea. I'll be rootin for hime at the X games. Check out my ride at our track at DCMXtracks"s youtube channel. It was an awesome expirience.
