Take a look at this guy. WOW is all I can say. Truly a noble spirit.
LOL “Can’t feel my hands its freezing”
Yep, pretty amazing. I have a lot of experience with amputees and some of them give up on life after losing a leg from below the knee, or a hand. This guy is completely limbless and still enjoying life to the fullest.
Wow is right dirt, that man is truely inspirational. Need to watch this from time to time to remind myself to get the sand out of my vagina and man up. Cause this dude has bigger nuts than a lot of people I know.
Merely a flesh wound, I’ve had worse.
He’s probably more of a man than most of us here.
It was cool to see how deeply moved the people in the crowd were. What a cool guy.
My favorite armless/legless awesome guy is Kyle Maynard. Interviewed him a couple years ago, and he’s the nicest guy I’ve ever met. Look up his story, it’s remarkable.

Is this the guy who wresteled in college and had some MMA fights?
Glad to see he hasn’t lost his cojones!
I wish him the best!
p.s.
His sex life must be either pretty dull or pretty interesting. In some european countries, disabled people get some extra cash to blow on hookers.

Yea it is. He’s great.
Stuff like this goes in my mental “motivation bank”…inspiring things I read/see that I think about when I’m lacking intensity in the gym/life in general.
I don’t know about that.
Thanks for posting this. It came at just the right time. Sometimes, we (I) just need to man up when we’re (I’m) feeling down.
i think it would be seriously funny for him to just do what he mentions when people stare, start screaming what happened?
seriously though very inspirational.
It’s really motivational especially when you have gone through something life altering. It makes you appreciate what you got.
I would find him more inspirational if he was successful in a career of some sort in spite of his disability, but it looks like all he really does is go around to high schools telling girls that they’re all beautiful just the way they are (which is honestly not even true, many of them NEED to lose weight). If he’s going to make a living as a motivational speaker, he should at least have a better message. Basically I think you all are giving him points just for being disabled.

Guy, eat a dick. How does that work for you?

Bitch, you’re talking to a disabled person. I’m not impressed with the moral posturing of most other handicaps, nor the confused idiots who pretend to find the sight of an invalid “inspirational” just because they’re conditioned to think they’re supposed to. Fuck off.

What is your disability? TT amputation? Nerve damage? Unless it’s late stage ALS, polio or being quadrapelegic I’m willing to bet this guy trumps you several times over. He has no arms and no legs. He doesn’t even have the benefit of highly functional residuums. Any action most take for granted, such as brushing our teeth, wiping our ass or unlocking a door has been an epic challenge for him to overcome.
By virtue of him still maintaining a positive outlook on life (and encouraging others to do the same), I find more inspiration than the story of some CEO who started from humble beginnings or a minority struggling to get into medical school. Inspirational talks often have the theme of “triumph over adversity” and this guy typifies that.
