Adaptive Rider Shows That Physical Limitations Aren't Slowing Him Down
THROUGH THE GNAR: JEREMY MCGHEE RIDES MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN
Episode 8 features an interview with Hive athlete Jeremy McGhee, a multi-sport para-athlete who excels in surfing, skiing, swimming and mountain biking.
Jeremy McGhee is a trail runner at heart but says he missed his calling.
When Jeremy was 25 years old, a motorcycle accident left him paralyzed from his tenth thoracic vertebra (mid-abdomen) down. He can’t walk or run, but he can mountain bike.
“If I wasn’t in a wheelchair, I’d probably be one of those ultra marathon runners,” Jeremy says. “But the cool thing about this bike is it’s how I do that. It’s how I get out on the trail and go for a run.”
