Jim was injured in January 2001 while filming stunt-style activities with friends. During one attempt, he jumped off a roof into a snow drift and briefly lost consciousness. The impact caused a burst fracture of his T12 vertebra, resulting in complete paralysis.

“The ability to ride with my friends who mountain bike, and join adaptive cycling groups will help rebuild social connections, improve my health, and expand my access to the surrounding SCI community. The Mako will help to share meaningful, active experiences with a new cohort of adaptive athletes.“
