up
I'm in full agreement with Jim! Transferring a Quad, is not always an easy
task.
For most, it requires plenty of training and testing. There is only one way
to
achieve that. The right way!
First, the body must be strong enough to effect a transfer. Brittle bones
will
snap under

Wow, that is impressive to transfer without a board. I'm paraplegic and
cannot in anyway do that. I have to have my board and I'm
paraplegic. My torso is way too long to get shoulder depression b/c I am
way strong enough. My tone doesn't work with me like yours does with you

I'm like you John as well as I live alone so if I have to stay in bed,
nothing gets done around here. I have to get upto eat, do laundry,
pay bills, etc. It takes longer to do stuff so by the time I'm done, it's
time to eat or take a shower. Its always something. I do stay down as much
