Wow. I can’t imagine living like that. He must have incredible strength of character to do what he does.
that guy is a hero.
this guy reminds me of my gf’s cousin LL, he was born with a deformity that made his left leg and arm completely normal, but his right arm and leg are shriveled and weak. his right leg is a few inches shorter than his left one, and he has to wear spacers in his shoes. his arm is the same way, a few inches shorter. the kid is an amazing basketball and tennis player, he broke his high school all-time points record as a senior. drainin 3’s son, all day long
he lives in AZ but we all get together in vermont at their family’s summer house a few times a summer. i brought can jam last year and we had a blast playing it.
super nice kid but he is super timid about his hand, which is understandable. he’ll always have it in his pocket or under his shirt, unless he’s thowing up a tennis ball for a rocket serve haha
he’s told me before that he’s naturally right handed, so not only does he have to deal with this deformity but he had to learn how to do everything left handed. the kid is unbelievable
My dad has had an artificial leg since he was 6. He is missing his toes on the other foot and one of his thumbs. He has golfed, bowled and fished up until 10 years ago. He is 74 now. He couldn’t run or anything but it didn’t stop him from doing some things.
Damn. Impressive.
Thats amazing. Makes you appreciate everything you have even more.
good vid.

Great vid, thanks for sharing! We take so much for granted…
ROFL
what a freak
Great vid, great post
Lumpkin sure knows how to take care of business, good post.
I flew with a kid in the Dunkirk area that has the same condition. For his first flight he did pretty dam good. It makes you wonder how you can ever think life is difficult when that kid can’t even reach his face to scratch an itch.
I know a guy with a similar birth defect, He Can out ride me on his custom 09 MXZ 800
