@dmb1 Awesome to hear you are interested in AMTB. Check the Active Project Map to find local organizations that offer AMTB or local AMTB riders who might be able to assist you. If you qualify, you can always apply for a KBF Path2Active Scholarship to help get you started.

@snicholst89 Check out Adaptive Sports & Recreation Association. I think they have basketball in the San Diego area.

@bivanco3722 I don’t see many basketball options close to you. BORP is the closest but it’s still a pretty far drive. Central California Adaptive Sports Center has some other sport/recreational options you might enjoy.

@kjore612 Kayaking is one of those recreational opportunities that you don’t necessarily need an adaptive sports org depending on your comfort and ability. Adaptive sports organizations that offer kayaking are a great way to start because they have it dialed in. Depending on your ability they have specific equipment that can help make the experience more fun and efficient.

If you want to go the other route you can too. I reached out to my local kayak rental shops. I let them know of my disability/needs and they made sure folks were around to help transfer and launch me into the water. They usually don’t know exactly how to help so you have to direct them in the best way to assist. I always recommend using a PFD for safety. It’s also nice to go with friends/family to help you get back into the kayak in case you tip over. It happens sometimes. I usually take my seat cushion with me to help prevent pressure sores.

I’ve kayaked in Puerto Rico, San Francisco Bay, and many lakes all over the US. You can do it!

We see you with those trick shots on The Active Projects’ Social media.

Matt aint joking! I nervously went to one of Rolling Raptors’ clinics not knowing what to expect. I was greeted by Matt and many other players. I’ve played wheelchair basketball and wheelchair rugby but never wheelchair lacrosse. It’s fast-paced and fun. I’m stoked to join in on more of the Raptors’ monthly clinics. Check out their Program Page on The Active Project here for more info and clinic dates. If you want to learn more about Wheelchair Lacrosse in general check out the Active Projects Lacrosse Sports Page.

Hey @wheels30 I’ve been waterskiing/wakeboarding for over a decade but have never had an idea like this. Show skiing seems much bigger in the Midwest. This sounds like an awesome wild idea. Love it. Where are you located or where would this take place? Can’t wait to see where this conversation goes.

WOW @annas that Heli-skiing video was epic. I like how big your dreams are. I grew up snowboarding and picked up mono skiing in 2008 a year after my SCI. I took a break for a few years but after moving to Utah 3 years ago I got back on the ski. KBF hooked me up with an Active Fund Grant so I have my own ski set up now.

Have y’all checked out KBF Active Project Ski Page yet. There’s tons of cool information for newbies and OG’s.

Utah just got it’s first snow last week and this week. I can’t wait to be jamming around Snow Bird with @wasatchadaptivesports Wasatch Adaptive Sports soon.
