Anyway, I planned on writing a little more smooth but I am sure you understand now.
I was at the best brain/spinal center in the country for almost a year and I saw many patients come through and get diagnosed as incomplete but then see no gain or return. It is a hurry up and wait game and when the swelling starts to go down in the cord, you will see the gain/return or lack of, the extent of the damage, and then if your situation was like mine, I started getting back some butt muscles and quadriceps so after therapy the PT gave me permission to get in the standing frame and that what I did for hours. I killed it, overcame the dizziness that comes with higher level injuries. My arms came back much quicker and my legs needed longer time to recover from exercises so I bought a racing wheelchair and started logging miles with my brother, I wasted no time.
Ok, so I just took a trip down memory lane I need to stop. But the take home message is that yes I am considered a quad because I broke my neck and I lost movement/sensation from my neck down, but I had some amazing surgeons putting me in traction, injecting steroids (at the time), performing surgery, and the Man above, and as the swelling went down I started regaining function and not too many stem cells were destroyed I guess.
Hope this helps,

Thats awsome ! good for you and like I said I will be there next year standing at the fence watching you kick some butt.
When you sit down all the time, the lower back takes all the force your ankles normally would, actually more without the knee suspension. So its more important that wearing boots and should be enforced as part of any adaptive class competition. Again theres brave and theres stupid, riding without riding boots is definitely on the stupid side
i feel like BobbyM on a Mike Alessi thread. haha
My hat's off to Shane Lusk, who chimed in with his take just in time to keep it from turning into one of those, "Yer a douchebag! No, you are!" threads that we see far too often in here. Honorable mention to Zacka and Darius, as well.
wait mine just did too

Your right about quads usually gaining leg muscles back before arm muscles, but as you'd know, a few muscles coming back still doesn't make it easy to walk.
But good work on getting back on the bike, hopefully i'll be able to this time next year
Pit Row
The rider must be large enough and mature enough
to control his/her machine at all times, and to ride it
safely. This includes stopping, starting, standing still,
mounting, dismounting and putting one or both feet
on the ground. The referee has the authority to
disqualify a rider that cannot safely control his/her
motorcycle/minicycle. If a rider’s physical stature is
such that they cannot reach the ground with both feet,
blocks may be used *at the starting line but must be
removed immediately after the start.
An attorney would kill you in a lawsuit with that passage. Is it fair, not by a mile, but it is a reality.
I think, according to the rulebook, the promoters/referees did the right thing.
What have we learned here? That moto instills some serious ass passion in people, and that's cool to see.
