Sam Jarmer became paralyzed while working as a lifeguard on a New Jersey beach in the summer of 2019. Since that day, Sam has been working as hard as he possibly can to get back on his feet and get himself closer to a normal life. I got to sit down with Sam and have him share his story with everyone.
To the 1% reading this god bless, stay safe and have a wonderful day ❤️

🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Perry M thanks

Your an amazing person stay safe and have a good day
I paralyzed myself 2015 in a DH bike crash.. And I can't imagine being in water going through it.... Holy crap. Thank you for being such an awesome ambassador Scotty. Sam, if you read this, keep positive brotha and I wish you the most recovery possible!
@James de Buy Wenniger im blessed brotha! my Leatt neck brace saved my life.. happy to still be breathing :)

@OG PSYCHO FAGGOT lol what's BS?
@OG PSYCHO FAGGOT Bruh maybe check his channel before you accuse someone of such a thing! 🤦♂️
@@QRXFHU also scope out landings and have exit strategies if you overshoot/under shoot landings.. Most importantly do epic skids haha
Getting paralyzed by something so seemingly minor. Really puts life in perspective.
Sure does kid. I've been through it and continue to battle it daily. It's no easy task.
The human body is amazing, yet so fragile
For real
Yeah it does and I'm not worried about my refrigerator getting ready to go out now I'll just go get another one... I've been stressed out over it for Days now and all of a sudden it really no big deal
same i didnt even know you could get paralyzed like that
I was paralyzed one year after Scotty and I remember watching his video of him riding his bike for the first time after his accident while I was in the hospital.
sending love from canada
Shouts to you bro,much luv!!
Keep going and don't look back man. I wish you well.
Tell us more! Everyones story should be heard
SMITTY? HOW
Man scotty your doing good bro. And if your ever feeling down. Just know you hit any of us up and you've got a life long friend.
Yes Definitely
Have a good day man
💯!!! He's such a top bloke
Scoteeth brainmer
Yea
I had a stroke that paralyzed me on my left side during brain surgery for a Brain tumor when I was 12. I’m 21 and I’m doing a lot better. Scotty has has inspired me To keep working on my self all these years later and I am Grateful to gain as much strength as I have so far. #cantslowdown
SHOULDN'T OF TAKEN THE CLOT SHOT BRO
@@leelunk8235
Pretty sure that didn't exist back then. If you're referring to the covid shot that is. Not sure what else you could be talking about though.
They were 12 when they had the stroke, they are about 23 now.
@@ladyscarfaceangel4616 I TROLLED YOU AND IT WORKED CUS YOU RESPONDED, HAHA
Hope you ok love that’s so young I was 24 my vertebrae in my spine , do you have help from your family
As someone else who has suffered a spinal cord injury and also broken my neck I totally get everything you've both gone through. Be thankful for the help you received as someone like myself faced it 100% alone and to this day 20yrs later I have yet to get help of any kind.
Scotty's brand should be aimed at helping people like yourself...
.. Rather than using people's struggles to tug at the heart strings and profiting solely for himself.
If you ever need anything man hit me up on here and I will help you out any way I possibly can. I have been paralyzed for 10 years so I understand.
@@user-xb7tb9rz4j hmm.. gotta look out for #1 I supose. The crew are growing up and cant just make vidoes all day anymore. I think hes just a smart guy and sees the changes and is just evovling.
I’m sorry bro
@@supraanimal I’m sorry!
My little brother had a motorcycle accident the left him paralysed from about the middle of the back down. He was and still is a pastor of a small church and was riding a bike he was planing on getting when a car forced him off the road. I've been watching your videos for years but any time you talk about you accident or anyone's I make sure to point them out to my brother. He has taken them as inspiration and our relationship has changed for the better since then. Keep up the progression, both of you!
Is UR Little Brother Able Walk After Being Left Paralyzed After His Motorcycle Accident 5:35
@tameikabrown no he is not.
@@gregbrandhorst3725 Damn My OH MY GOODNESS My Heart Goes Out To U UR Little Brother & The Rest Of The Family ❤️🔥🥰
Whoever gave this a thumbs down needs to re-evaluate their lives.
Just little pricks that are mad because the channel not always give what they want.
The world could just make that choice for them....
D W wtf is wrong with you?
@@jonahauff6288 There you go....always is one with the example...just little pricks...
I’m thinking bots just downvote because these are the most wholesome videos ever
I love how nice scotty is to everyone
Damn, scotty is the best, i cant get over the fact he is out there and impacting so many people. It really takes a special person to impact so many. Truly the goat
are you related to chris benoit
I agree completely Patrick!!!🤘🤘
SCOTTY IS AMAZING, I DIDN'T KNOW THE GUY BEFORE THE ACCIDENT, I LEARNED ABOUT HIM THROUGH TH-cam, WATCHING HIS STORY UNRAVEL , AMAZING BMX RIDER AND JUST SO MENTALLY STRONG AND PHYSICALLY STRONG, I DRAW INSPIRATION FROM THIS MAN, GOD BLESS YOU SCOTTY
To everyone in the comment section who has suffered injury..and to Scotty and Sam - I wish you all peace and happiness.
Copium
Dr’s always says never dive into any body of water. Period. Thank god he lived.
Hey scotty, , I just wanted to say thank you for your positive outlook for life. I lost my oldest daughter in 2018 , my son showed me that he was watching your u tube show, , it's helped my son and I out of the deep grief of loosing a loved one, he's a bike person too, I'm so glad you are there, thank you. 😊
I can’t compare my injury to a neck or spinal cord injury but i suffered a severe arm injury on Memorial Day this year. Shattered my elbow to the point I nearly lost my arm. Your videos are a huge reason why I have pushed my PT and recovery so hard. Thank you for doing what you do Scotty
Wow how did you do that?
One of my biggest fears has always been getting paralyzed. I always thought I would rather just give up and die.
You changed my mind Scotty :)
Me too and now that I have kids I feel if it ever happened to me I would have keep trying I’ve been watching Scotty since the first video and it’s changed my view on a lot of stuff
I feel like I would just want to die tbh
@@Gabe_diesel same. Everyone is different. i am a very active person and move to take away stress.

As a health care worker for a few decades, it breaks my heart how the disabled are still not given the recognition they've deserved, and earned. Thanks so much for this update on Sam. I first saw him on 'George To The Rescue' and the whole family seems remarkable.
I had a whole lot of Luck when i technically broke my neck (c2) a few years ago but only had to spend one week in Hospital. At that age i dont think i could have handled a spinal core injury mentally and i dont know if i could now.
What i actually want to say is that it is absolutely amazing and inspiring to see you two pushing towards their Goals and handling the situation so well. Thx for your work Scotty, im hyped to see riding videos from you again!
Wow, you really did get very lucky as a cord injury that high up is not good. Were you then then fused? I was hit 3yrs ago at the side of my head above my fused. My neck snapped to the side. It looked like my c3 broke but flew outward and away from the cord so no new injury.
I’m a paraplegic too. Y’all should like this to see if Scotty will do a game of Bike against me👀😂
All of of disabled Scotty fans need to get on a discord with Scotty to try and spread the word of sci even more
@@brandonhickman4099 facts
@@coreysteady do you have discord
@@brandonhickman4099 im just saying that would be awesome to see . im just here to spread good vibes
That's a brilliant idea! Maybe it would pave the way for a full resi skate park and a "special x-games" sponsored by red bull of course.
So awesome that you let these people suffering with these injuries know that they aren’t alone. Really makes people appreciate what they do have and not to take it for granted 👌
a pal was in a rehab facility & friended a guy who lived the kind of life that allowed him to have a 52’ Hatteras sport fishing boat. he was over 50 miles offshore & dove into the Atlantic to cool down. he dove directly into a Sea Turtle & that impact caused him to become a Quad. He’s now able to walk with assistance, but is a long way from where Scott currently is. I’m sharing this, because fate smiles on us all: Extreme Athletes, Sedentary Gamers, Rich, Poor, Young & Old. the Way to Live is to Live with Love & Compassion for All & to not Sweat the Small BS in our Lives. Eliminate Those that Cause Strife & Disrespect from Your Life, even if it Hurts. Be Excellent to Everyone & Love and Respect One Another. We Damn-Sure Need It
Wish these young men best of luck moving forward beautiful men 🙏🙏well done your doing amazing
I POPPED MY C6-C7 DISC IN 2015, A NECK INJURY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NEVER HAD ONE, IS A VERY UNFORGIVING INJURY, IT TOOK ME 3 YEARS TO START TO FEEL BETTER AGAIN, IMAGINE WALKING AROUND FOR 3 YEARS WITH WHAT FEELS LIKE CONCRETE POURED DIRECTLY INTO YOUR NECK EVERY MORNING. TIL THIS DAY I STILL HAVE DISCOMFORT THERE, LAST NIGHT I HAD NECK DISCOMFORT AT THE BAR, BUT I'M SO GRATEFUL TO BE ABLE TO STILL DO THE THINGS I LOVE, LIKE WEIGHT LIFTING, FISHING, ETC
Sending love Scotty & Sam
Massive respect for these guys
What a story. Keep at it, Sam!
Prayers for Sam and his fam🤍🙏🏻
Two badasses I'm this video. Truly inspirational. I'm going to the gym today in honor of you guys
Keep pushing Sam! Another great story Scotty.
I love these types of videos where you meet up with your fans and tell there stories👍🏼♥️
20 yrs ago I broke my back slightly mtn biking and basically walked it off only to be plagued by random weakness and motor function dysfunction years down the road. My injury isnt even close to what these heroes are going through but I say heroes because the toughest battle we as humans will ever fight is against the ego check we receive when we are reminded just how delicate we really are. There is so much more to dealing with injuries like this than just the physical parts. Stay strong guys and Thanks!
What an inspiration Sam and Scotty are!
So awesome to see Scotty sharing his experience face to face with someone who’s new to this. Giving them hope showing it is possible to improve. Stay strong Sam! Sending positive vibes from Australia :)
All the best to you Sammy!
Love you man you do so much greatness! Thanks for bringing his story to light.
I want to see Sam more often on the channel, knowing his progress vs yours. I know everything can heal differently and at different rates for each person, I wonder the variances.
Scotty you should keep him on the channel he's a great motivator like you man hope everything works out for both of yall
It's so crazy how their stories are different yet so similar. Both doing something they'd done the majority of their life. Both jumping over what was just another fun obstacle to them only to have it go wrong on the other side. Huge props to your guys' positive attitudes!
How inspiring despite the obstacles good luck to you all😊
Y'all rock! I love the energy! God bless you two & everything you do!
You are a great human Scott!
So proud of you both! Never stop believing in yourselves and what you can do. God bless!
Thank you so much for sharing your story! I am not paralyzed, but I have lived with limitations and chronic pain for decades. You motivate me to keep living the best that I can. I appreciate you‼️
You are such an inspiration Scotty I was in a dirt bike accident about a year and a half ago where I broke my back In two places my pelvis in three shattered my ankle my foot and all or my toes on my right side along with third degree burns on my right leg I was in a wheelchair for a year and still have problems with my legs often if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be able to be motivated to get up again thank you Scotty
what an inspirational n dare i say it, exceptionally HANDSOME, young man!!! never stop setting goals n moving forward...so much ahead to be excited for!
Sam keep pushing bro. Scotty thanks for sharing. Your channel has inspired so many to do better.
Really love the direction of the channel recently! The stories you tell put a smile on our faces! Thank you Scotty!
You are both inspirations keep pushing and dont stop
Every single day woah! What positivity,u r 1 of a kind ,God bless u
What an amazing vid Scotty keep it up
i thought u were on like a skype call your backgrounds looked so different, good video scott
Yeah me too, thought it was split screen until they started looking over at each other🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️
I love you scotty! Sharing your story and helping others to share your an amazing person.
motivation man it gets you anywhere
I restore vintage audio gear and a few years back had a customer contact me about wanting to buy a restored radiogram. I happened to have one that i could sell him. He had a complete spinal injury which meant he could not move at all. When i delivered it to his house i found it quite confronting to see him just lying in bed unable to move. He could only just manage to talk and his room had to be freezing as he could not maintain his body temperature. I found it very confronting and of course felt great sympathy. I will never forget that day and the courage that this guy showed in wanting to keep his hobbies going. Respect to everyone with a disability no matter what kind.
What brave young men! Keep forging on!
prayers to Sam and his family hope Sam gets well and Scott is doing a great thing
Scotty is a true inspiration. Praying that this young man makes a full recovery soon.
Awesome, I'm so excited to see what you do next!
I watched Extreme Make Over go fix his house so he could go home. Praying for you both 💕
I broke my sacrum in 5 pieces in a skydiving accident. Broke many other bones too. I really admire you guys.
Very inspiring
Both of you dudes are amazing!
Wish u guys the very best continued recovery I realise this is still long journey back
Scotty, you should sponsor Matt under Can’t Slow Down.
As well as others in a similar situation. That would be really sweet.
You two have inspired me to work harder. God bless you.
U guys are AWESOME!
Keep fighting your doing amazing you will get there
Good luck with your recovery guys!
On a side note... Am I the only one who thought this was a split video chat for the first minute... Or do I just pay that little attention... Haha.
I’m a C5/6 incomplete. However I have no faith my situation will ever change. I can feel everything below my injury my pinky and thumb both move freely but my fingers are curled. I have full bowel/bladder control. I can basically feel and move everything but I can’t walk. Success in my life is accepting that a physical disability isn’t the end. You can accept your disability and still have a wonderful life CO’s that’s what I’m doing. Newsflash is you can’t work a nerve like you can strengthen a muscle. This isn’t a muscular or a bone injury. The spinal chord is a series of nerves. That’s why our specialists are known as neurologists. Nerves can’t be strengthened or fused back together and that’s why we remain paralyzed. You can’t exercise your way to fixing a spinal chord injury. It doesn’t work that way. Ask Superman. Oh yeah. He died of his spinal chord injury.
Copium. Have you tried running ?
I do have C4-C6 incomplete SCI. Every single person's injury is DIFFERENT. I just know I am extremely blessed to have what I do compared to what I don't. What I learned was that pain IS my friend. As brutal as it sounds, pain means my nerves are fighting for a connection. It is HARD. Thankyou for your inspiration!
Scotty has been such a great ambassador to spinal cord injuries.
He has just made it more visible to other's
Both of you are true warriors keep your head up G
Awesomeness
Scotty, I hope you realize that you _are_ the positive influence in so many people's lives; both paralyzed and able-bodied. Your mindset is infectious and inspires so many people who are losing or have lost hope to Not Slow Down. Your willingness to forego your own sense of embarrassment in favor of educating the community and public at large is easily one of the greatest accomplishments of your life. Love ya, man.
Sam is a Amazing Kid! If you meet or have met Sam you'll know how great he is. Being a member of of Ocean Grove Fire and watching Sam grow up. Let me tell you can't meet a better person out there. He won't Stop! Cheers To Scott and Sam can't slow down
Couldn’t believe the news when this happened to you scotty was gutted for you but seeing your road to recovery and the steps your taking is incredible and the work you do to help other people and educate all of us is great I can’t wait for the backflip and more tricks to come 🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻 and to Sam keep fighting my dude and work hard you can see from scotty what is possible DONT GIVE UP AND DONT SLOW DOWN #cantslowdown
I pray for the negative mindsets that gave a thumbs down!
Scotty thank you for all that your doing!!! I believe that all the goals you set will happen and come to past!!! Backflip will happen!!!!
Damn, I feel that kids soul just by looking at him. Hope he staying pushing
Sam is from my town Ocean Grove NJ. He is such an inspiration to others! Samvincable!
You have got our support always love you guys too ❤❤❤
I have been a paraplegic now for 10 years now so I know what it's like to go through all the motions of being paralyzed. The best thing you can do as time goes on take one day at a time and always have a new goal to set for your exact injury/life.
Keep fighting Sam, DON'T SLOW DOWN. Stay positive and push yourself bro - Scotty is a shining example of what can be done above & beyond what the doctors tell you is possible. Eventually you'll get to a point where you CAN'T SLOW DOWN and you'll be in his seat helping and inspiring somebody else.
Appreciate life boys. Thank you scotty & sam for allowing us to see this perspective. i wish you both the best on your recovery
Can I play with your body on tex
Take your clothes off all the way and play with your body
Can I see you play with it
Do you want have a massage toy
That's why I ask you too play with your body because it help me to relax my body want you play with your body
My cousin dove in shallow water,, paralyzed from the neck down,, even his diaphragm,, like Christopher reeves,,, we thought he was joking around when he floated up face down ,,, his body was shaking like a seizure,, it was fathers day ,, and also his daughters birthday,, she was turning 18 that day ,,, he had to be airlifted ,, put inban induced coma ,, when he came to,,, he was told ,, he didn't take it well ,, that was back in 2015 ,, sadly he passed away last year due to complications,, I saw first hand how devastating that kind of injury truly is ... Its not easy at all!!! God bless 🙏 anyone who suffers a spinal injury ..
Every day you prove why you are one of gods greatest warriors Scotty. You have an absolute heart of gold and I’m so stoked that your still pushing. Keep going Scotty and Sam we’re praying for you too bud. Keep your head up.
god bless you both!
Good to see that your still doing good
omg it feels so cool having the same shirt as sam
I feel like my life is handicapped with noone around to give me positive energy. I have to make my own positive energy without anyone's help. Most days I can't do it. Thanks for sharing the video.
You guys are awesome!
Keep going Sam!! You and scotty are both incredible individuals that are showing the world a different and unstoppable recovery! Truly inspiring!
You are both awesome may you have fantastic happy lives. With love and happiness in bucket loads.
Your in God's hands same. Bless you and your family. I hope everything you want happens.
Thank you for your story
Scotty you are the best.
Yall are legends sending good thoughts
Hey Scotty, I Love watching you every time i do it puts a smile on my face and inspires me to push myself to do more tricks or try. Thanks!
You guys are very brave and determined. Thank you for this video and educating the rest of us. Take care and stay motivated!!!
This is the positive aspect of the internet.
Kudos to the two of you and to your awesome families/support people. Nothing in life is worthwhile that comes easily….
