hey buddy im bob im 49 and live in columbus ohio.i was diagnosed with buegers desease four years ago..like you i was told so many things before i was accurately diagnosed.i am fortunate i stopped smoking immediately and still have all my limbs but am in pain every day .a quarter mile walk is about all i can do before i have to rest.i admire you for being able to do what you do .i guess someone needs to understand the pain that exists with this desease.
i talk to him on facebook. good guy. this is the first time i heard his story though. i just quit smoking because of fear of losing my legs and now im 100% sure it was the best decision.
bro this is awesome. im a pogo as well, i can't stand fake legs im trying to get back into aggressive inline dude. i was going to put it off for awhile now this just puts me right back into wanting to go for it sooner.
That ollie in the end was amazing ...so inspirational man...i struggle just as much and more even to get tricks..All your fears and doubts are in your head...and we can all overcome them...even in such adversary conditions as Buddy...sommuch respect dude...much love and good vibes from chile
This is really sad... I'm glad he's doing this to TEACH PEOPLE about the choices he made, and how it reflects on his life. There's a good lesson to learn here.
So happy to see this Ride above story goes to show you what our minds can do a Doctors extended touch and getting your self to being enabled..meaning purpose and to plant a seed.. always pay things forward..love ya Buddyxo
if your ever lost or you don't know what to do just remember keep fighting and I know you hear this from every one but the words aren't what make it happen it's your mind set my bestfriend in the whole world is Gary Elias buddy Elias's son and Gary had leukemia and I know how much of a fighter Gary is and I've been to his house and seen first hand the struggles both him and his dad go through and trust me they are fighters they don't give up because they can't give up so I look up to them and idolize them so thank you buddy and you Gary for being such inspiration to me and many other people that feel lost and just want to give up
Yeah!!!! Buddy aka B1L...very inspiring...keep it up....you can do anything....all of us can....we just have to put our minds and heart into it! Skateboarding teaches us a lot.
Beautiful story, Beautiful Crutching, Beautiful skateboarding, Beautiful feeling, Beautiful enjoying. True tears on a nice Face. Hold Up Your head, can be pride Yourself and never don't cry again, because life's beautiful & You're a great talent skateboarder! And You with Your only one leg & dancing Stump much more Better guy, Than 1 M others with 2 legs! All Respect & best wishes.
@Cheer4Life15 Thank you for this inspirational story! Makes me want to skate more. Sorry about what happened to your leg, but glad you have found something to live for and have fun doing. Keep on rolling!
Ok so this dude shows that you can do any thing in the world if you be positive work hard an don't give up I'm 12 years old just learned a kickflip and working for a treflip mabey one day I'll be good but after this video I'll never give up
Your story means a lot to all of us. My and my sister in law just sat down and decided they we both are going to quit smoking because of your story. I've been actively skating for 12 yrs and I've been smoking for 4. It something I know I shouldn't do but like you I just kinda blew it off but now that I see the reproductions Im going to make n effort to stop.
Just because I can say it. " I edited the First Generation of Buddy "1 leg" Elias Videos" but I digress. I'm digging the edit and I like it. What can I say my brother is great, this doesn't shock or surprise me, I expect nothing less than top calibre. Now where did I put my burrito?
"In my heart, I'm no different than you, and you're no different than me. I guarantee if you lost your leg you'd be figuring out how you're gonna do your thing. Whatever you enjoy in your life, I guarantee you're gonna try to figure it out." ~B1L
I think he meant not to quit sports. It took many yearz of denial before I quit smoking. Trust me when I say denial is an ugly place to be. I'm healthy now and doing everything I love. Thnx for taking the time to watch my story. "There are no limitations other than those you put on yourself and those you allow others to place upon you" ~B1L (BUDDY1 LEG)
Probably because he brought this upon himself. I feel no remorse to feel sorry for him. He and everyone should know that smoking is bad for them and can cause great harm to your body. I do feel sad that it took him losing his leg for him to realize how much harm smoking can do to you, but he will never have my sorrow. It is good to see that he recovered and that he continues to fight.
Glad you're still here man keep the PMA and keep skating
