Re: One-armed Snowmobiling
Thanks for the comments. Tom, that's a great idea when trail riding, but when riding in the mountains, you're feet are rarely in the same place for too long. You're moving all over the machine.

I haven't mountain biked since my accident and now my son is getting to an age where he wants to mountain bike. I reall...
