KONA IRONMAN WORLD CHAMPION full time hell man and CO CAPTAIN of the Australian Invictus Team GOLD MEDALIST Matty Brumby is a MACHINE....
Matty Brumby qualified for the Ironman World Championships, despite their being only four hand cycle spots available worldwide. The gruelling format for the Ironman race is a 3.8km swim, 180km hand cycle through the city of Kona and out into the lava fields, returning to the city centre on a racing wheelchair for 42.2km.
At 22 Matty Brumby had an accident that changed his life. But from the moment he realised what his future held he absolutely went after it!!! If you ever need strength or focus in you life, this story will guide you, it will push you to make a choice on how you want to live and it will motivate you to not waste a single second.
His ability to continue to push the boundaries of what a paraplegic should be doing is nothing short of inspiring. The man still rides Jet Skis, Surfs, Trains like an animal and was the first paraplegic in the world to hit a freestyle motocross ramp. LET THAT SINK IN!!! legs strapped in engine on LETS HIT IT!!!
I can easily say I LOVE MATTY BRUMBY, I love the bloke he is 100% what it is to be human. The Ups and downs, moments of triumph, moments of failures and disappointments. But his willingness to try anything and put his heart and soul into his chosen path is nothing short of extraordinary.
