corbin 621 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Nicely done. I'd think everyone should be practiced with manipulating their weapon with only one arm (practice with each). Congrats on the new baby, by the way. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fitty% 808 Posted May 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 If you dont mind me being nosey.. how did you lose your righty? Everyone assumes that it is combat related and it does bother me that it isn't because I feel as if I don't deserve the respect I get from strangers...you know? I came back from my last Iraq deployment, Ive been deployed 8 times between Iraq & Afghanistan. We had to work one weekend and my squad got off early on Sunday and my squad all road dirt bikes together so we decided to hit the wooded trails up. We went out and did 3 loops of the trails and we were going to go home but we all decided to do one more loop. The last part of the loop is a nice wide gravel road. As I did every time I opened my bike up. I had a KTM 300XCW two stroke that has a wide range gearbox for Baja racing and has 6 gears. I opened her up and left everyone in my roost and when it cleared they saw my bike on the ground and me on the other side of the road. I had hit a tree going 60-65mph and my bike was in 2-3 pieces. I had gone over the handle bars, that snapped my femur in half, went over a hit the tree with my right collar bone/shoulder area. That pulled the nerves that work my right arm out of my spinal cord. They tried to "re-wire" my nerves to get it to work but it didnt work. Thats why my earlier videos I still have the arm but its in a sling. I made the choice to get it snipped off and I wish I would've done that to start but I was in a coma and my dad couldnt let them take my arm if there was a chance to get it working again.

sweetcostarica 18 Posted May 18, 2013 Report Share Posted May 18, 2013 Great Saiga 12 techniques you share here. It makes my rifle more flexible in different situations. You Army guys are smart. I was in the US Navy so don't tell anyone I said that to you Army. BLK-HWK-VET you inspire me with the telling of how you lost your arm. You bounced back and overcame serious injury with the love of your Dad and family. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dam man that sucks, dirt biking is my other hobby along with guns/shooting. I hit a tree on my CRF 450 two years ago and luckily I just dislocated my shoulder, my buddy wasn't so lucky two years ago when we were in Colorado riding Grand Junction last year. He wiped out and shattered BOTH of his wrists, we packed up and drove home to MN for surgery. He hasn't been able to ride since and he missed 4 deer since the accident, he just doesn't hold the gun the same as he used to. Anyway, props to you for overcoming the challenge you face, a lot of guys would just give up. I admire your strength to keep going and make cool vids. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
