Wheelchair Modifications for the Beach
Просмотров 23 тыс.2 года назад
In this video I talk about a couple modifications I made to my secondary wheelchair to make it more accessible for use on the sand. I added wider tires and am using a FreeWheel attachment for the chair. These changes help the wheels glide over the sand. I also had to decrease the seat to floor height (dump) of the chair and adjust the wheel locks to compensate for taller tires.

I love your ability and willingness to work on something and then share your knowledge with us. I think there would be a way to sew that leash closed with an industrial sewing machine or thick needle (as well).
How will with this modification work on sidewalks and streets?
@@brandyheinz1775 it works well! It creates a smoother ride too - especially over cracks and uneven concrete/pavement.

What kind of hand controls?
Why did you stop making videos?
Things have just been busy with family stuff. I’ve just been focusing on these few short years with my little one before she gets too old to care about dad. Lol 😂
@@ParalyzedLiving Understandable. Thanks for sharing. Your videos have and will always help a lot of people. Thank you so much 🙏
You are a very good looking guy.
Will it work on thick soft sand?
been in a push wheelchair with cerebral palsy for 14 years and I'm 17 years old. I can get down 1-2 stairs and I've been trying to get the skill of going up kerbs and steps and have never quite been able to do so without grabbing something and pulling myself up there or with someones help. but this video looks like it'll help.
I use a Jay Balance, which is also a hybrid like Elite. Couldn't be happier. Got it in 2018 and actually this year was first time I had a puncture which I solved with a patch and some liquid PVC/rubber. Well build and like you said, probably the best, the results from BodiTrak were better than honeycomb and gel. If I will get another, will probably be the same type.
Oh wow that's amazing does the length of it make the button not hard to push? Sometimes gas pedals take force.
What railslides did you use? Could you link them in the comments?
🥊🥊🥊
That's very sad I feel bad for him
Yea it sucks but don’t feel bad. I’ve learned to live with it.
Yeah my name is Philip in 2017 and 1145 I become a paraplegic and I had a Harley and dirt bikes and have been unable to ride for the last 7 years and I would love to be able to get back on a motorcycle and be able to get out of the house and be able to enjoy myself again like I used to and have that freedom again I am a t7 pairoplegik .
Just found your website. I damaged my spinal cord and have all these problems and its great to see and hear this as so many of use have this and its great that you actually talk about poop. The only person I can talk to is my bowel and bladder nurse and it’s so good to chat about the problems to her as no one realises what we have to do. So a big thank you x 😅
Absolutely! I realize it’s “taboo” but it’s a part of the package unfortunately. Thank you for the comment!! Glad it helped even if only a little.
no helped a lot and your other videos thank you so much. 😊
Nice house! My dream
Oh no I don't think either of you were dumb, it does make for a great story. Just being 35 I look back 10 years and think wow I was just a kid when it came to my mentality. You were meant for eachother and this is the path that led you there😊❤

That portable hand drive is safe for driving on the road and the company make that portable hand drive responsibility for any issue cause for accident. I am Disable just want to know more about it.
I’m an architect in training and I’ve designed many doorway plans that provide ADA door maneuvering clearance dimensions. I never really understood exactly how someone in a wheelchair actually used these clearances to pull or pull a swing door open so, decided to search RUclips as I’m studying for my registration exams to be a licensed architect and I’m so happy I found your video. I’ll be watching more to fully understand the purpose of all ADA standards ✌🏼
Hi! May we please get an update on your long term experience with the pump? How many years did it last, did you get a new one put in, did you have to keep upping your dosage, etc. Thank you for the videos!
Hey! It’s still been great long term. I had my initial pump replaced in 2017 and again in October 2023 since the battery lifespan is about 7 years. My initial dose was actually double what I’m on now (1400 mcg) but much of my spasticity was caused by an underlying spinal issue that I had corrected in 2012 and after that time, I was able to lower the dose. I’ve toyed with adjusting it even lower but the tightness/spasms always return in full force so I found my sweet spot is around 650 mcg. I still have some spasms at this dose but they aren’t inhibiting.
Thank you for the response and your videos! I can learn the facts from doctors, but hearing from a person with experience is invaluable.
@@reelcountrygirl no problem and I agree 100%! I learn more from others who have been in the same boat. 😊
okay but i need one like immediately 😭 im pregnant right now . do you make them for other people?
🦽🦽🇰🇷🇰🇷🇱🇦😮😮
