Podcast 605: Getting Disabled Riders Riding and Racing Again


Listen Later

We are joined by three special guests this week: Michael Petrosini of TBEXUSA, Joseph Ford of Ride Again, and one armed racer extraordinaire Jason Griffin. They all have different stories, but they all found each other through one common thing; their disabilities.
Michael discovered the The Bike Experience while in the UK, and as someone who recently found out that he had MS, he offered to volunteer and see what differently abled people could accomplish. Upon returning to the USA he started TBEXUSA to continue helping people find their way back onto two wheels.
Jason lost his right arm at a very young age, so he had to figure out how to do things different. With the help of family and friends, he was able to modify motorcycles and eventually get into flat track racing. And with the help of Michael, he was able to take his skills to the track where he shows everyone that his limits do not define him.
Joseph lost his leg in a devastating motorcycle accident, and made the decision while still in his hospital bed that he was going to figure out how to get back on two wheels. He share with us his journey overcoming not just the physical limitations brought on by the accident, but also the mental hurdle he had to overcome.
Please donate whatever you can to these groups. Every cent is well spent, and riding again is the best gift you can give a fallen rider.
