MTB-Amputee - Resources for Amputee Mountain Bike Riders

Victor G. Walther has created a site for amputees who ride mountain bikes. He includes tips for riding, photos, links, and events

MTB-Amputee is currently working on establishing a week long clinic for amputee mountain bikers to be held on Mount Washington in July 2008.

From the web site:

The purpose of the Clinic is to provide instruction and guidance for beginner and novice amputee mountain bikers, as well as develop advanced MTB skills, technique, and prosthetic devices for expert and competitive riders. Additionally, MTB-Amputee is working on establishing a Ride & Race program that would provide support for competitive riders as well as guidance and instruction for those that wish to compete. Please note that as of yet, MTB-Amputee has not secured the necessary funding in order to cover the cost of hosting the Clinic or Race program. If you would like information on becoming a sponsor, please contact Victor. If you would like to participate or would like more information, please contact Victor at: mtb-amputee@mtb-amputee.com
