#HighFivesAthlete Pablo Villareal accomplished his first goal in the High Fives X Arcade Goal Belt Program!
Pablo’s goal was to re-develop proper ski mechanics and technique following a 2012 motorcycle accident that led to the amputation of one of his legs. He did just that on February 2nd, 2018, skiing with close friends at Mammoth Mountain. An outdoor enthusiast, Pablo plans to not let this set back keep him from returning to the sports that he loves.
PABLO IS A THROUGH THE KNEE LEFT LEG AMPUTEE. HIS ACCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING HIS DUAL SPORT MOTORCYCLE IN BAJA. ACCORDING TO REPORTS, HE WAS HIT TO SOME DEGREE BY A SEMI TRUCK TRAILER. IT CAME OVER HIS LEG AND MOTORCYCLE.
PABLO’S GOAL IS TO CONTINUE TO ENJOY LIFE AND PROVE TO HIMSELF THAT HE CAN CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE IN LIFE TO THE FULLEST THROUGH ACTION SPORTS LIKE SKIING AND POTENTIALLY SNOW BOARDING.
THE BELT PROGRAM, WHICH IS SIMILAR TO A KARATE BELT SYSTEM, REWARDS HIGH FIVES ATHLETES WITH AN ARCADE BELT CONTAINING A NEW GOLD STAR FOR EACH MILESTONE ACHIEVED. THIS FRAMEWORK IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE CLARITY, SUPPORT, COMPETITION AND INSPIRATION FOR OTHERS AS THESE ATHLETES WORK TO REBUILD THEIR LIVES.
