ride tv? ride share? free stuff
 

A while back someone posted a legit site that gave you points for watching vids and you could buy real stuff with the points acquired. Anybody remember it? I tried the search and got nothing. While I'm on bedrest I might as well earn points!

what???
 

YOUR ON BEDREST?:gasp: Are you ok P? We sure hope that you recover quickly:yes:. What will lincpimp do without your quick witt if you are out of wack for a while?:surprised: Someone has to kick him in the rear at least once a day to keep him in his cage:na:. Anyway hope you are ok, and sorry I cannot help with your quest. I slightly remember something like that, but not enough to do you any good in your search. Get well old man.:angel::lol:

eh, life of a quadriplegic, I'm okay, just gotta stay off me bum for awhile, which for me means bedrest. thanks for the kind words. back to the thread- was it go ridetv? I'll go back to googling for awhile

I didn't know u were in a wheelchair, I'm also permanently in a wheelchair from a muscle disease that i have. I too am trying to figure a brushless wheelchair.

is this the site you are looking for?

nieles- you are the *$#@ing man! thats it, thank you

Lincpimp will play with his butler monkey :lol:.

Unfortunately, I'm in this club too. It sucks!!

I'm in the process of buying my 2 year old son's first wheelchair. I had no idea they cost this much. I might actually have to sell a bunch of my R/C collection to pay for it. I, too, have thought about making it brushless eventually.

So, paralyzed, if you don't mind me asking, how do you go about controlling and building your R/C stuff as a quadriplegic? I thought that quadriplegic meant you have no control of your arms and legs. Were you able to figure out another way to do it somehow? I'm really interested, but don't feel like you need to answer if it's too personal.

Thanks.

alot of people think that. The body is divided into four quadrants splitting at the waist and down the middle of the body. I have no control from my nipples down, so the upper quadrants have been affected, making me a quadriplegic. a para is waist down. I'm very fortunate to have good use of my arms and hands. I was paralyzed neck down for 3 months after my accident. I've had to relearn how to use my arms, and I can't feel them. I can feel hot and cold, but not touch, it's weird. I can't eat chips froma bag because I can't see them or feel them . As long as I pour them out and can see them I'm fine.

It's very cool that you were able to learn to re-use your arms. You appear to be in good spirits too. You are a good example to many.

My son will probably never have control over his body, but his condition is a brain malformation. Fortunately for him, he's never known any different so he's the happiest kid you'll ever hope to meet, regardless of whatever typical things he can't do.

I'm pretty fond of him. :love:

I'm a para and have no sensation or movement from my nipples down (except for spasms I can't control).

I love you all, this is the best website ever!

When I played wheelchair rugby they formed teams by having basically equal disabilities all around. A bunch of quads against a bunch of paras would be a sad game. So they split us up equally, and that was their criteria, waist down was a para, and since your upper quadrants were affected, you'd be a quad. It's also classified by where your spinal injury is. I'm considered a c5-6 quad, if you are paralyzed nipples down that means your injury was in the "c" vertabrae. Correct? What is your injury level? I may be way off, but this is what I've learned. Please respond if you know something I don't as I love to learn and hate to spout incorrect info. L8R.

Your nipples is the t4 level. Your belly button is the t10 level. I broke my t6 vertebrae, but for some reason my spinal cord is damaged at the t5 level. This makes my last normal level a t4. A quadriplegic simply means that you have some sort of impariment in all 4 limbs hence the term "quad". With all that said I can tell you for sure that ALL levels suck.

atleast we have r/c! I miss crotchrockets, quads, dirtbikes, snowmobiles, snowboards, etc. etc. The thing is miss most is my ability, I use to do my own custom car audio installs outta my dads shop, I could fabricate anything. In '00 I did an install in an '00 camaro ss convertible, I fit 3 jl audio 12w6s in that tiny trunk! I had to build the box in place, and had about 20 hours into the box alone. Custom kick panels, mid bass, it was my finest install. It sucks, but attitude is everything. I also suffer from depression, and it is a daily battle. I have to tell myself to focus on the positive, not the negative, and when things are real bad I force myself to go out and do something, anything, to progress my life and move forward. It takes hard work for me to remain positive as a quadriplegic with depression, but I take my anti-depressant every morning and remind myself of the power of the human mind, whether you think of something as positive or negative, for you thats what it is.

That's really inspiring paralyzed, and I mean it. Thanks for sharing your story with us. I gives me hope now. :smile:
