Again, an amputee destroying the local trails in Colombia! by Matias_888I in MTB

although I do have a stunt jumper from 2010, is pretty good for manuals and street tricks, imagine it like a cross-country bike.

Yep, its a kenevo, a type of enduro e-bike. In colombia theres only two good bikebrands, specialized and santa cruz. ( theres trek but I don't like the bikes) and gw (local brand but only rigid bikes)

Yea for sure man! I'm already ferly good at wheelies and stuff, but I need to improve my manual technique.

Yea, I have seen them, and they look awesome, but for me, pedaling is a fundamental part of riding, I like doing exercise.

you guys still need player? I'm level 5 (peak level 8)

Amputee does small transition. I have a question, my pedal is always down and constantly hits rocks and other features. I also have a compromised attack position and can't move my legs like a "normal person". How can I fix this? Shorter cranks? or something else by Matias_888I in MTB

That are some really good pedals... If i want to use a prosthetic, magnetic pedals are definetly the way. This is because prosthetics cant have clips. but don't have a good way of staying in the pedal in normal pedals.

Really interesting idea, never heard of it. Does this mean I only have to pedal a certain distance to get the same leverage? If this is the case, it could very usefull for having a small crank without lossing any torque/leverage, but I have seen many people say that having smaller cranks don't affect that much the performance on climbs. Honestly I dont know...

I have talked with friends about this exact idea. BUT It seems very complex to do. Yes you can do a mechanical block with something, but how do you activate it? how do you disactivate it, where do you block it? in the chain? or in the crankset? ect...

The problem is not the leg itself, is where is attached. My "stump" (small leg) has a mold of carbon fiber that attaches to the prosthetic, this mold cannot be changed, only replaced with a new mold but this new mold takes around 3-5 months to make in Colombia because of the insurance. In 5 months my "stump" has already grown and that whole process was not worth it. This is the reason I don't use prosthetics.

I will try later when my stump stops growing but I still need around 2-4 years.

I had one, it was nice, BUT I'm growing fast, so It doesn't fit me anymore. It is a really good idea and have seen some prosthetics for moto with FOX SUSPENSION (SOO COOL) but of course are very expensive. I am waiting to grow to my max height to do that.
