Help put Jason back on wheels

Jason says it best
"21 years ago, I had an accident on my BMX bike doing what I loved, flowing through trails hearing the wind as I blasted big airs.  I crashed my bike and broke my C5/C6 vertebrae.  What a game changer!!  From a guy who was very active, flowing, kick flipping, bunny-hopping, and blasting big air to BAM!! - a guy in a wheelchair."
 
Another Game Changer
"November 14, 2021, is a day that changed my life once again.  With the help of family & many friends I was able to hit the trails again on an adaptive mountain bike excursion that allowed me to feel the wind flowing by as I smiled so big!"
 
"I felt like I was back"
 
How You Can Support Jason !
Let's make that feeling a daily occurrence - not a once in a lifetime excursion.  We are raising money to gift Jason an adaptive mountain hand trike.  These full suspension machines are incredible with every component customized and fitted to Jason's body and needs. Unfortunately, custom adaptive mountain bikes come with hefty price tags.  

We need your help to make this possible!

The Perfect Day
"On a nice Friday August 4th, my cousin Israel Davis and I were going to have some fun on our BMX bikes and debated on what we wanted to ride that day. We chose the dirt trails, and everything was going well as we enjoyed jumping through the trails. There was this one line called death row that I really wanted to get down that afternoon. I was getting a little discouraged that I couldn't get a run down that certain trail. I was game to blast through that trail, so I said "1 more time"."
 
"Sometimes that 1 more time can be a bad omen man"


We've raised $5,082.5  to date toward Jason's bike through this  Go-Fund-Me and the comedy night and silent Auction.  We are almost 30% there
 
How it Happened
"As I went blasting through, everything was going well up to one point where I didn't think I was going to make it, so I was stopping. I tried to pull my bike down and my feet slipped throwing me upside down and landing on my neck fracturing my C5/C6 vertebrae."
 
"I am now a mid-chest quadriplegic with use of my arms and limited use of my hands."


"As a youngster I enjoyed pushing my limits, learning new stunts and expanding the sport. My accident changed all that. Everything became a challenge learning to live with my new limitations as many years passed. "
 
 
"As a C5/ C6 quadriplegic I’ve been trying to find the best activity to enjoy, provide purpose, and inspire others. On November 14th, I discovered that my passion for biking never left me."
 
"Now my goals have changed to building arm strength and stamina to ride an adaptive mountain bike so that I can get back on the trails and push myself a little harder on a regular basis."
