That's a great example of a couple of men who life kicked in the balls and they came up swinging. The world could use more people with this approach to life.

Rob is pretty inspiring.
He's also a damn good fabricator. He use to do a bunch of design work for the company I work for before we got our own design staff. I still use some of his enclosure designs.

Definitely inspiring to read and watch. I know Rob from a long time ago and use to work for the same company. I didn't find out about his accident till years later on facebook.

Yeah, Rob is awesome, didn't let the accident slow him down at all!

That global story sounds like he did it on a bmx... he was already "retired" from that... it was a dirt bike accident. Over shot the jump and his bmx instincts were to toss the bike... came down hard without the bike to soften the blow
