What a great podcast and so inspiring to listen to George's view on how life is for the living. Highly recommend a watch - i feel very tempted with a long train journey now!
This looks awesome; I'm motivated by just the clips in the trailer! Nice work all at BackUp. Look forward to listening
Great demo
A fantastic video that superbly showcases Back Up's raison d'etre
What was the one on his cheek
Thank you very much!
Wind is absorbing all your words.
So sad
Hi Rich! Could you tell me where I can get the “step” that you are using to practice on?
what kind of curb is that bro? Is that what you guys call curbs in England or wherever you’re from 🤔👍
Thanks
I'm getting my mobility scooter tomorrow and already worried about kerbs, your video has given my a bit of confidence. Thanks for posting your video. Amy.
Hi Rich! Thanks for this videos. I'm a paraplegic and I'm working myself on some tips to improve people's life. I'm now researching the tecnique you're showing in this video, but I have difficulties finding out the, or at least one of the people ho first invented this method. Can you help me with this? Even just a tip would be very usefull.

Thanks for sharing ollie
I didn't have to disclose my hydrocephalus to my now Walmart manager back in 2008 because they already had an employee that had hydrocephalus as well. So they pretty much knew and were comfortable with that aspect of the neurological disability.
Cool video
I can't download the app because I live in Germany. What can I do?
This is great! Thank you… You made it look so easy. I liked the arm on the leg idea. Very helpful.
My wife grabs the steering wheel and pulls herself in.
What SCI level do you have?
Some great tips there. Thank you from a new wheelchair user
Thank you so much for sharing the above. I am using a motorized wheelchair. Please guide me how to both get in and out of the chair. Reason being i am short and face balance issues as well
I Don’t think there are many Able Bods who could do this so smoothly. Respect for the shape you maintain. Top man.
Thank you guys too. The community we have is incredible!!!
Levi be like
Oh wow I am famous! My claim to fame is being on the thumbnail! 😉😂
Thank you for your help
We are so glad you found the video helpful Heather!
Thanks so much for this video. I have been in a chair for 30 years and have never tried to clean my own casters. I have had them start to seize up on me and I wonder why it is so difficult wheeling before I realize the cause. At that point then the bearings have to be replaced too. I would have appreciated if your video had included that as well. I must start this routine of cleaning. It would save money and hassle going to the vendor every time. I live in Canada and the snow and salt in the winter does a number on the bearings big time.
Thanks Christine, we'll take that on board - we're so glad you found this video helpful though!
thanks chris... YES the #1 thing is being aware...keep roll'n ok👍👍
I love mentoring 4 backup trust xx
