EXTREMITY GAMES 4

If you thought X-Games athletes were tough, try competing in extreme sports without and arm or a leg! Extremity Games 4 took place last weekend from the ninth through the eleventh in Michigan. The Games include competitions, instructional clinics and exhibitions. The competitions include BMX Biking, Kayaking, Moto-X, Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, Sit Boarding, Skateboarding, and Wakeboarding.

The first Extremity Games were held in 2006, as extreme sporting competitions for individuals living with limb loss or limb difference. Due to success of the first event, the Extremity Events Network non-profit corporation was founded the following year to ensure the future of the event by getting sponsorship and involvement from the orthotic and prosthetic manufacturers and professionals, and outside industry sponsors.

Mike Schultz, who finished second in Moto-X Premier event at Extremity Games 4, used to race professional snowcross and lost his lower leg. Now he uses a prosthetic leg equipped with a FOX Air bicycle shock. Coincidentally, he equips his Yamaha with the FOX Podium RC3 shock too.
