There is a new track in N. California and we have a open division quad racer who is just amazing - not only does he catch 6-10ft of air off the jumps, not only does he do no handers and heel clicks - He only has one usable arm. Talk about people who have overcome physical handicaps to excel in sporting events - this guy is an inspiration to everyone who sees him ride.

imagine the mechanics of trying to do a no-hand double and only being able to steady and land that big quad with only one hand.

if anyone is interested in photos or video of this driver, let me know.

Are there other tracks where people with handicaps compete?

Jimmy "lefty" Osborne lost his left arm a long time ago before hestarted riding quads. He jumps metal ramps set at 60 +ft gaps. He also is the owner of Big Sac Ramps, he builds and sells metal freestyle ramps. I will post some pictures of him when I get home.
