If you guys get a chance check out this small clip about one of our local kids, Darius Glover who was paralyzed while racing a couple years back. I have known this kid for a few years now and he is one incredible person. Its so cool to see him riding again!!

Yea he is a great kid and loves to ride more than anyone i know. He absolutely loves James Stewart. It sure would be awsome to arrange a way for the two to meet. Anyone have any connections? LoL!

Good stuff, all the video's with Ricky James were great - but they didn't show the challenges of getting used to riding without your lower end like this video does. Great stuff.

The thing I like about his situation and the same with Ricky James, is how there friends and family still support them to the fullest. I know a lot of parents wouldn't ever allow there kids to get back on a bike after an injury like that. Its refreshing to see kids with determination, like his and Ricky's, makes you really cherish how lucky we really are. Keep on fighting buddy!

The kid that made this video is Daniel Obrien. He was part owner of No Bull Films. He has since started his own gig called Interlaced Films. I think his site will be up soon. They are in the works of making a documentary on Darius. It should be awsome when they are finished. Daniel is a talented kid behind the camera.
Daniel and Darius are best friends. Daniel and his family have helped Darius more than anyone can ask. They are all great people.

This is the only thing I hate about our sport...
But big hats off to the kid, still has a huge smile on his face and is showing people he can still get out and do things.
People like this should be the ones who win the sports man awards at the end of the year.
