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.

    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!!

    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.

  • @tpayton13
    @tpayton13 12 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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!

  • @andyhuggett8833
    @andyhuggett8833 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    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

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

    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!
