susieSA Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 I am not sure how many of you have heard of the blade runner....He is amazing to watch....

Hemidakota Posted September 16, 2008 Report Posted September 16, 2008 "Known as the "Blade Runner" and "the fastest man on no legs","That is amazing...the man has great talents and abilities in overcoming physical impairments. Quote
susieSA Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Posted September 17, 2008 What I found really interesting when I read his history is that he lost his legs at the age of 11 months... So he has never really had legs... He was introduced to running only 4 years ago.... Kinda the same with Usain Bolt who was a cricket player & then introduced to running because someone saw how fast he would run up to bowl... Quote
wokie Posted September 17, 2008 Report Posted September 17, 2008 When I saw Blade Runner I thought it was the movie! Saw him on tv here tonight he sure can run! Quote
Elphaba Posted September 17, 2008 Report Posted September 17, 2008 When I saw Blade Runner I thought it was the movie!Same here. I never knew anyone, other than Harrison, could be a blade runner. Hubba hubba!That story was amazing! It sounds like he is even going to qualify for the regular Olympics--he almost did in this race. Elphie Quote
susieSA Posted September 17, 2008 Author Report Posted September 17, 2008 One of his dreams or should I say goals is to participate in the Olympics... He was very close to going to Bejing for the Olympics but got messed around on a few things so he was too late.... But defenitly 2012 in London... Quote
