THERE IS A STRONG CREW OF WHEEL CHAIR DOWNHILLERS IN WHISTLER, CANADA. VERY IMPRESIVE TO WATCH. I DONT KNOW HOW YOU COULD GET HOLD OF THEM BUT AM SURE IF YOU SURF THE NET IT WILL BE IN THERE SOMEWHERE. MAYBE LOOK UP WHISTLER BIKE PARK. TGHE COMPANY THAT RUNS THE MTN AND MOST OF THE TOWN IS CALLED INTRAWEST THEY MAY KNOW MORE THAN ME . ALL THE BEST BROTHER.

Wow! that looks like a cool project. if i had a few extra dollars i would be more than happy to sponser you and your mates with it, but i dont have any extra dollars :( ill tell you what, if i win the lotto, ill sponser you then. Try looking for some sponsership at a bike company like giant or specialised or even pedal pushers. i reckon if you go around and ask all the bike companies and stuff for sponsership youll come across one that would be happy to sponser you. most of them would be keen to get more publicity, and someone for the cover of their magazine even! :)

Also very sorry to hear of your injury! At least you have a good attitude about it.

Hope to see you out there on the hills with your finished project!

Hey Fabio, this is a short clip from the movie: New World Disorder 2 - Fat Tire Fury

Hope you get some good ideas from this!

Enjoy!

Good luck with the chair man. i cant begin to imagine what thats like even though i broke my back a couple of years ago, i was lucky and am still able to walk and am wanting to start riding again.

3 months in hospital damn 3 weeks was bad enough and 4 months in a back brace.

heya dude, cheers for the help and stuff its wicked to have poeplel willing to get me back out there. I've only seen the spyder chariot for sale pretty much and thats $5000 Canadian about $6400 NZ. Think it would be better to just buy one rather than make one it seems to be a whole lot people saying they'll help but aren't motivated enough or something. Ideally if I buy one I dont have to go through testing of the machines structurala bility lol!! The logistics of buying a factory made one seem far more appropriate. we'll see....
