Cameron Jackson don’t recommend. Especially since “OTC” chairs are not good for manual means compared to custom chairs since ur honestly not supposed to push yourself in a chair that’s not custom to your height and weight cuz shoulders and back and leg and foot issues it causes
As a wheelchair in NYC this was fascinating to see another New Yorker and a visitor's views on the city. I agree on the garbage, It is a pain in the butt.
I'm currently in London. I was shocked how unaccessable it is. The traffic lights don't make a sound and there are no lifts in the tubes (i just moved to uk so had a 30kg bag with me). Can't imagine how tough it would be for a wheelchair user. Australia is definately more accessible
Dont get me wrong. I love this guy. Hes a huge inspiration to me but the constant spinning and flying is really pulling attention away from the actual video
'We need to go out' SO TRUE!! So often people park in handicapped spots without tags and then tell me 'well I never see a wheelchair user here so it's ok' and I'm sitting there in my wheelchair! It's infuriating
Thanks for taking us along on your tour It was fun. Love the editing. I always get so disappointed and irritated when I see businesses that aren't wheelchair accessible. Come on people/businesses!!!!
You should take a trip to japan. My wife and I went there last year. Shes in a wheelchair and I was amaze on how wheelchair accessible the transportation system is. I personnally loved Osaka. Tokyo is also accessible with some looking for elevators at some times. Toyoko Inns are the way to go for wheelchair users. Cheap and they should have at least 1 accessible room per locations
I’m a land surveyor and the ADA laws are set to accommodate disabled people. Like maximum 2% pitch in handicap parking spaces so your wheelchair doesn’t roll away and it’s easy to ride up the slope. And there (by law) should be ramps to at least one door of the building accessible to the public. Things like that
My experience is that IF I can get in a place (I live in NYC) - there is an immediate reaction of: "What are we going to do with HER" ?'Where is she going to fit with that chair', etc. I have a good sense of self, an RN (retired), and don't react externally to that treatment - I remain respectful. However, it DOES affect where I go and how often. My favorite spot locally is a coffee shop. It is small, so when I enter it is a seemingly major production when I enter. If it is crowded I back right out of the shop - no problem for someone who ambulates, but for someone in a wheelchair there is more NO in our lives then Yes...........It's affected my quality of life tremendously. Local restaurants have to find a guy in the back to pull out a ramp (to them a major production) - I thank them and enter - only to be greeted by another production of moving tables, chairs etc - while others are dining - in order to get to an appropriate space/table. Repeat the process on leaving. Staff acts 'put out' but speaks nicely. I've been encouraged NOT to bring 2 friends in wheelchairs with me at most places locally as it would be a major issue for a local shop, restaurant, meeting, etc. Still I get out - just sometimes looking IN a window instead of participating in what is on the other side - plays with your mind.
Loved the editing of this video. I’m abled bodied, but my dad is in a wheelchair for outings. He’s elderly. But it still hard to find accessible places to take him or it’s very sketchy. Thank you for doing these videos
Wow, this was a really cool one to watch! Unfortunately I'm one of those disabled people who doesn't get out of the house much, but I'd really like to. It's nice to see disabled people in public because even though there's still lots of barriers, it gives me hope. Thanks to both of you for the vid!
I caught you getting a tow from the smart drive! I've only ever been through the city driving a semi. My wife and I want to go and see something on Broadway and the New York city ballet.
I love the point: If I keep going up the stairs, they don't need to think about it. (Not a quote.) Real pleasure to meet you virtually, Garrison, - hope to someday bump your elbow 😉😆❤️
I love watching these videos. When I was growing up one of my cousins was a T-7 complete paraplegic and he never went anywhere on his own. Seeing you travel is great. I wish my cousin, Bob, was still alive but he died about ten years ago from cancer. (He smoked like a chimney.) Self reliance isn't a gift, it is a destination.
I love this so much! I have autoimmune disease. I'm a part time user like 80 percent or so of the time. I traveled all over before my mobility was affected I really want to be able to do so again at some point. I would love to see you go to Denver, I grew up there. There's tons of touristy places to go. Downtown is lit too. Thank you for sharing your story its helped me to have a much more positive outlook. Definitely subbing Garrison's Channel.
Guys; check out "Natural Fit" hand rims. They are much nicer than your skinny little handrims. Much easier on the hands and you have much more power. Without wrapping your hands around the dirty tires. Great vid though guys! Very interesting!
Love it! It's should not be comparison, NY and my city Antwerp (Belgium) but the metro stations were so recognizable. I now whichs ones have elevators (whit or without the piss🙄), but then I get there and the elevator is out of order. Man o man. I learned myself how to use the escalator, but I still feel unsure to use them. So if I can avoid them, I do. And when I'm in my power chair, which is most of the time when I go to the city alone, the escalator is no option of course. It's seems like a problem all around the word. Making basis needs acecible for everyone. I even had hospital rooms that were not wheelchair accessible 🤦🏼♀️, like on the floor of neurology. I mean, we have a long way to go, but as a community we do have to go out there and let people see us en make them aware.
It seems that when I am in my wheelchair you become invisible to others. I once got yelled at by a lady in Tesco's as I was sat on my walker queuing at the tills because she had to go around me. It was horrid and really upsetting. People always stare when they see me using my walker until they see my aircast boot I wear.
so i came from israel to nyc for a few weeks and it was awesome. loved the place. especially madison square garden. all the recommendations helpd. so thanks
Awesome video bro the camera angles were really cool and you need to bring you butt to Orlando let me show you the theme parks we can do Disney , SeaWorld and Busch gardens and I can show how to transfer on to a roller coaster
Richard, you should "do" Philadelphia! I live in a suburb of Philadelphia on the New Jersey side and it's an awesome City oh, so many things to see and do. I have MS and I'm only recently using my wheelchair 4 into a distance and I'm ashamed to admit I wasn't paying too much attention to accessibility before. Given that it has Colonial roots I'm thinking at least a lot of downtown center city is not very accessible, but I could be wrong.
OMG, thank you for making this video! I know I'm 2 years late, lol. Abled bodied people can't connect until it effects them in some way. I speak from experience because my some has become disabled and I am now learning so much. How can I help share this information? I am sure there are many people like me who are unaware, sadly!
Thank you this was a great vid! And thank you very much for all the great info and educating the public it can be really hard for us wc users 😐. I appreciate what you are doing all the emotions and hardship is real and more power to you you have overcome it 💪🏼🤙🏼✊🏼 for me it’s a work in progress but I’m getting there 🙂
its crazy to see how different country's are as here in England every public place has to be accessible (obviously with few exceptions old building and that) put like you said if its not is discrimination and if you find somewhere thats not accessible you and report them to the local council and will got told the outcome as well (the shop/anywhere can be fined and even closed down). my mum has to use a walker and its crazy to see how much farther you have to go to get to places.
Good video man, drone in nyc? don’t know how you didn’t get caught or ticketed. It’s prohibited in all Nyc unless your launching from a boat but even then you have to stay within limits. Good job bro eitherway.
I understand trying to make everything accessible, but to be fair you also got to understand for some older buildings it's ether way too expensive or impossible
I see Garrison uses a SmartDrive. Did you talk to him, or have you talked to other users of it? Do you think it'd work for you? I saw you did a quick checkout of it in your video where you were at a conference. With electronic assist bicycles becoming quite popular - the rider peddles and does some work, but the electric motor shares some fraction of the work - I was wondering if electric assist could be/has been added to wheelchairs, especially with you mentioning in another video that wheelchair users often bust their shoulders after a couple of decades. Some recent studies suggest that instead of assist bikes meaning people get less exercise - as some might assume - on average, people just go further and use their bikes more often (i.e. instead of using cars/buses).
I know I’m watching and commenting 2 months later. But in UK there is the 2010 equality act which meant every building for the public use must be made accessible if it can. If it was old building it was assessed. And all entry’s must have a disabled button door for ease of access. But it changed the game massively. Also in Scotland where I’m from you can give a portion of you social income to a carer as allowance and concert tickets are free for this person and disabled tickets are reduced in many theatres as a example. in the trains station a conductor must come out to help you on. Scotland pretty ahead as its a socialist leaning country.
I went to New York in March, first flight in a wheelchair, from the UK. I wanted to push myself, no pun intended, so I booked the trip and had a great time. Those sidewalk funnels though, I forgot to wheelie at the bottom of one, my footrest hit the road and tipped me out of the chair. Luckily I can walk a bit and I stopped myself hitting the floor. Wasn't brave enough for the subway. This is a great video.
As a able person with spinal and other medical problems i use a cane and walker and even a couple stairs can be a problem if i use either aid cause i dont know when my back will decide to give out on me
Most of these shops with stairs should get a wireless doorbell and a sign and a wood ramp they cans store so You can ring the bell for the wheel chair ramp to be brought out
It was definitely dope rolling with you
*rolling*
I have a question for you do you like sports
Just sub’d to your channel man!!
yo, that smart drive... how you get it with that body? They denied me because i was in to good of shape and did not need one they said?
@@agresivemartinformerlyagre1850 rollin', rollin', rollinnnn....
Did you know the artist formely known as Prince? Who then again reclaimed prince?
Just kidding around
I love these vids as a non wheelchair user just to see what it is like
it can actually be fun and child like
If you really want to see what it's like, get yourself a chair and try not to use your legs AT ALL for a day or seven!
Seems like a waste of money ^

Not surprising. The United States is stupid. And I live there.
Give your cameraman a raise.
Like Simba from the Lion King?
It makes me so dizzy.
How did you get all those cool camera shots!?😍
360 camera and some drone shots
I actually find them really annoying. I hope he doesnt use them again
@@plebbiebiceps2636 I have to disagree they were really cool
PlebbieBiceps kinda agree. they were cool but it might’ve been a little much
Dont get me wrong. I love this guy. Hes a huge inspiration to me but the constant spinning and flying is really pulling attention away from the actual video
Washington DC’s accessibility is really good!
Yes agreed
The filming is amazing
Props to who ever did that
Try how wheelchair accessible Las Vegas is. I had trouble getting my mom's wheelchair in clothing stores to take her shopping.
Ya same
'We need to go out' SO TRUE!! So often people park in handicapped spots without tags and then tell me 'well I never see a wheelchair user here so it's ok' and I'm sitting there in my wheelchair! It's infuriating
DUDE!! your channel is so underrated
👍 if u agree
yes it is
This is so interesting to see and as a non-wheelchair user it's so useful. Also to tell people to make spots more accessible
Thanks for taking us along on your tour It was fun. Love the editing. I always get so disappointed and irritated when I see businesses that aren't wheelchair accessible. Come on people/businesses!!!!
This is definitely one of my fave vids.
You should take a trip to japan. My wife and I went there last year. Shes in a wheelchair and I was amaze on how wheelchair accessible the transportation system is. I personnally loved Osaka. Tokyo is also accessible with some looking for elevators at some times. Toyoko Inns are the way to go for wheelchair users. Cheap and they should have at least 1 accessible room per locations
"you like stand-up comedy" I can't I'm still laughing
i keep saying to people "i'd give you a standing ovation... .but...... i can't stand up..." ..i've had people snort....
Loved Garrisons energy and personality!

I've always been disabled. However, I admire y'all going from able bodied to not and adapt.
My experience is that IF I can get in a place (I live in NYC) - there is an immediate reaction of: "What are we going to do with HER" ?'Where is she going to fit with that chair', etc. I have a good sense of self, an RN (retired), and don't react externally to that treatment - I remain respectful.

Garrison is such a good dude! Met him a few years ago at a Navigator track and field practice with my son.
slightly ironic

What a character. Garrison Redd is awesome. Cheers!
Such a good video. I love your content! I love how you educate the world about disabilities.
I love the point: If I keep going up the stairs, they don't need to think about it. (Not a quote.)
Real pleasure to meet you virtually, Garrison, - hope to someday bump your elbow 😉😆❤️
Your editing and whoever does the videos are excellent. Great angles and quality.
Dude those shots are unbelievably amazing.
NYC is a dream, even with all those inconveniences, compared to Brazil!!
I agree. They should try Bangkok!!!
Fantastic video.
Thank you for sharing
I didn't know or think about elevators for people in wheel chairs in New York city.
Thanks for sharing about where to go to find elevators.
Real nice tour of NYC im so glad you have good time
As a fellow Wheelchair bro, this channel is pretty dope!
Im in love with the B-Roll!
Dude, those are some sick shots!! 👌👌
Great video, love your content. Love from Scotland
I'm subbed to over 180 channels but yours is the most memorable.

What a personable guy Garrison is!
I see that smart Drive 👀
Fun Ent They shouldn’t be but SmartDrives are a flex
Like I need one but can I afford it? No
His knowledge and passion is infectious. I’ve learned from this video 👏🏾👏🏾.
Great Video!!! Thanks for the info
One of my college classes we used an accessibility app and went around to different local businesses and tested and measured them.
I love this so much! I have autoimmune disease. I'm a part time user like 80 percent or so of the time.

Keep up the awesome work I am so proud of you for being strong
Some of that camera work was the most nauseating thing 😂😂
I know I didn't mind it at frost but I almost do to stop the video cause of it

especially madison square garden.
all the recommendations helpd.

great video but what is bugging me is trying to figure out how you got those amazing camera shots
