Erik is a T4/5 paraplegic who has modified a traditional skateboard with metal stoppers to allow his manual wheelchair to sit atop the board without rolling off.
On a crisp fall day, Erik demonstrates his wheelchair boarding skills on a steep, grassy hill. He starts on the top of the hill, and with a little help from a friend by way of a gentle push, Erik begins his descent down the hill. He picks up speed, then comes to a nice, easy stop at the bottom before rolling off his board.
In this next video, Erik shows how he rides his modified long board off a curb at a skate park. Even a fall doesn’t deter him from enjoying this fun activity!
