Electric Wheelchair Power What would be some new ideas for paralympic sports?
Would some of these be interesting idea to add to 2012 paralympic?
- Electric wheelchair synchronised swimming
- Wheelchair platform diving
- electric wheelchair ski jump (winter paralympic of course)
What are some of your ideas?
And before you hit the report button, some of these ideas were made up by my friends who themselves have severe disabilities and they are all power wheelchair users. They can laugh at themselves and make light of their disabilities. So please don't get too politically correct and get offended.
@Jewel: Fencing exists in Paralympic. I have seen it at the 2000 Sydney Paralympics. There are different categories. I have seen fencing in wheelchairs. Participants are clamped to the floor so the wheelchairs don't move. I believe there is fncing for the visually impaired as well.
I use a manual Wheelchair, a Powerchair and a 4-wheel Handicapped Scooter.
Here are some fun ideals.
Powerchair Boblsed --- (You use the Powerchair as a sled and would be done on a boblsed ice track)
Powerchair Ice Hocky --- (You play Hockey on ice in Powerchairs)
Wheelchair Ski Jump Backward Flips --- (Jump using wheelchair --- Have actually seen backward flips done with PWDs using lightweight sporting wheelchairs)
***I would love to do Powerchair Bob Sledding! It would be the ride of my life! ***
