Help Orchid Get A New WCMX Chair!
Donation protected
Hello everyone I am a disabled skater who does wcmx (wheelchair motorcross) from Portland, Oregon. If you are interested in seeing videos of me skating check out @limpwristshredz. I am asking for community support to get funds for a new wcmx chair as I do not qualify for new equipment through a grant for awhile. My current chair no longer fits my needs as a wcmx skater as my measurements have not only changed but I keep breaking parts due to chair being unfit for my skill level. I am now competing in the pro/open category in adaptive skating competitions so I desperately need a new chair to advance myself as a skater. I have now competed in two different international adaptive skating competitions one was at the infamous Berrics in LA (where i placed 4th) in October of 2023, and the World WCMX Competition(where I placed 9th while having an injury) in La Quinta, California in December of 2023. Adaptive sports equipment is never cheap, but I was able to get a quote that is very reasonable for a WCMX chair from a fabricator which I will attach below. The good news is once I am able to get a new wcmx chair my current wcmx chair will be used as a community chair, and will give me the opportunity to provide the Portland metro area with lessons for any disabled person who is interested in wcmx! I appreciate any help I can get so I can take myself to the next level and provide the Portland disabled community with a wcmx chair.
