Whatever it Takes: Paralyzed Motocross Rider - Darius Glover

- Inspiring and motivational best describe Darius Glover. Darius has been riding dirt bikes since he was 7 years old. At 15, everything changed when he suffered a life changing injury during a race; paralysis from the waist down. Undeterred by those telling him he'd never ride again, Darius has found a way not only to ride dirt bikes, but to compete at the highest level of motocross. Recent stints at the X Games and qualifications at Loretta Lynns show that no matter the situation, it's possible to do anything you want.

Darius Glover is awesome! He is a testament that you can do anything you put your mind and soul into. He is an inspiration to everybody!
Yes sir!
He is a legend and I hope he wins a championship
This young man is truly inspirational. I have had the pleasure of meeting this young man and shaking his hand. He is a very humble young man and has a lot of heart!
I watch this everyday.! Such a inspiration ! For sure a idol in my life !
Darius Glover, My most favorite human for the week and most inspirational for the month.............Every one else needs to man up, Even you ladies...and quit complaining and start enjoying life.
God bless you, Mr. Glover.
I wish I could ride again :( I loved racing, it was amazing. Best feeling in the world
This is the most inspirational movies I have seen in my life practically. If this doesn't make you understand any obstacle can but accomplished when putting forth the right mind. Thank you for sharing this
To me, you truly are an inspiration! Not because of your paralysis, but because of your attitude! You're so right! Everyone has obstacles in life & I think it's fabulous that you are embracing life & persevering toward meeting your goals. A disability does not define who you are and what you can do in life. It is only part of who you are. Too many people use a disadvantage they're faced with, as an excuse & just give up! Giving up is never an option. I love your attitude! I love that you're sharing your personal experiences to help motivate & educate others & I'm grateful to you for sharing your message, that a handicap is only a handicap if you allow it to be! GOD BLESS YOU!!
This was the greatest thing ive ever watched, It truly shows that hard work and believing in yourself that anything can be acomplished, God Bless Darius
A pure bad ass God bless you man
This was one of THE BEST VIDEOS I've ever seen !!! Total respect ! Love you man, just made my day a whole lot better !
RESPECT FOR THIS MAN!!
2 weeks ago i was in an accident riding my 4wheeler. The bike landed on my back and Im now paralyzed from my hips down. My husband told me he'd figure out a way for us to ride together again, but i can barley get myself dressed. Then he sent me your video and it was exactly what i needed to push myself harder here in rehab. Thankyou. I will keep you video with me in my head everytime i start to get discouraged.
The ability to walk doesn't make you happy and the inability to walk doesn't have to bring you down. This man is an inspiration to everyone who feels they can't do something because something is holding them back. Don't LET it hold you back...just go for it.
Darius was paralyzed well before Young and Reckless decided to be an advocate for him. They are not promoting individuals to go out and injure themselves, yet applauding the individuals who are "young and reckless" enough to go back to what they love despite their setbacks, circumstances, or injuries. Thank you for watching and posting!
Dude, you are one piece of work my friend. A true inspiration to anyone who has lost the use of any limbs. Keep riding mate, keep beating the odds and keep living the dream. I would fly to the states just to cheer you on. Once a biker, always a biker, its in the DNA. Never let anyone say you cant do something. Im gonna post this on FB and let the biking community here in the UK see this (if they havent seen it already)
Keep giving it stick Darius
i have so much respect for this kid. he's an inspiration and has the attitude and drive it takes to make it to the top. best of luck man ill be keepin an eye out for ya

The essence of Ride or Die! Much Respect!!
You are my inspiration. Youv tought me in that little 4 minute video to keep pushing harder to be a moto crosser.

If you can dirt bike and win the nationals, if you can swim with using legs it shows how much legs don't matter much in those areas.
he is a real motocross hero. proud about u dude.
your amazing respect to u and your riding
Why would anyone dislike this? I'm a paraplegic setting up my bike to ride again and this is true inspiration. If not for this kid, I would just sit on the couch and mope all day.
Mad respect for him I support him all the way.
Unbelievable story and inspiration to all if us, he can get it done better then most people with working legs. Just incredible.
What a guy. Someone for many to be inspired by!

He not only gets back on the bike, but still absolutely hauls ass. He could beat the shit out of me in the corners (and probably everywhere else for that matter) and he can't even put a foot down. Dude has balance for days. Much respect.

Now that is one cool, strong-hearted kid. I'd love to shake that young man's hand.
wow man, I use to race mama series and now im out here in cali, keep it up your an inspiration to everyone!
@1:26 impulse graphx keepin Darius lookin fresh on the bike, mad props for Darius hope he wins a title that would be sick!
Your a legend. A great inspiration to all.
to him hes just riding but to me hes an inspiration because all the odds are against him. whats so inspirational about him is that hes doing it despite his disadvantage.
Darius is amazing. I understand management at Loretta's wanting to protect you, and themselves from you getting hurt worse, but their position is very dangerous, and they know it. So, go racing, Darius, and be the man you want to be. Respect. TTFT.
Up most respect to the kid.This is a fine example of what can be done if u want it enough..
Such an inspiration, that is amazing! You deserve the title Darius!! Good luck!
immediate like!! great video... totally inspirational. if you love something as much as this guy loves motocross, then do whatever it takes to get there. Even if it means being a little reckless getting there. YOUNG & RECKLESS FOR LIFE!!!!!
Wish my dad could ride with me, he's been unable to ride since the 80's due to a motorcycle accident. Darius has inspired me to get my dad riding again.
Bikers NEVER give up!...Respect from NZ
Great story and Great spirit. That's how people should live, being thankful for what you have not bitter for what you don't, do what you love and have fun. Forget your problems because there are people in worst situations. People get so caught up in everyday life that they forget the reason for living. Praise God and THANK HIM because without him nothing is possible
This is so inspiring to me. Must Respect to you man. Follow you passion.
Your doing something very special! Keep up the great work...
wow that just inspired me. i broke my right leg 2 times in 1 year racing 1st time i broke tib and fib 2nd shatterd hole leg just got outta cast yesterday. im begging my dad. thank you your the bravest man ever. god bless!!!!
this dude inspires me to ride no matter what happens keep riding and i hope to see you go pro!:)
You are an inspiration, I wish I could meet you.
You remind me so much of myself! I was in a bad crash in 2010 and broke my spine in 2 places, shattered my shoulder blade, shattered my left elbow which was reconstructed with titanium, a broken pelvic bone, some broken ribs and a punctured lung! When i was going in for surgery to repair my spine, spinal cord and elbow, the doctor told me that he would do the best to help me, but that i probably was never going to walk again, let alone ride,! 3 yrs later i just got a new bike! Keep strong!
You're an inspiration my friend and I hope to see you win the nationals some day soon !!!
Darius you inspire me I have a lot of respect for you.
Respect for you, everybody should learn of you
This Is dedication at its fullest potential
You are a pure inspiration man ,keep it up !!!
