Sam - Life on Wheels

Hello and a very warm welcome to my channel!

My name is Sam, I'm 33 and I'm from the UK near London, England. I was injured in Feb 2017 from a near-fatal motorcycle accident on a racetrack in Spain whilst doing a track Day, which was a huge hobby of mine.

So, why have i started this channel?

I used to lay in my hospital bed watching YouTube videos of others going about their daily life as paraplegics and learned a lot from watching their videos, but struggled to find good quality instructional 'how-to' videos. I decided I could create my own instructional videos to help others in a similar situation, but concentrate on teaching the skills I've learned through my relatively short paraplegic life. My goal is to create a channel that covers everything I do on a daily basis, and turn it into the ultimate guide for those with spinal cord injuries, their families and even physio looking for further information.

I hope you enjoy my channel, and be sure to subscribe for future videos
