BWTV inspiring story of Josh Dueck paraplegic lands backflip skiing
Wednesday, February 29, 2012 at 9:33PM An inspiring story of John Dueck a Canadian alphine skier. Josh Dueck's life changed dramastically in 2004, when he broke his back and left him as a T11 — full paraplegic from a skiing accident. He wanted to come back in the mountains to ski. For the past 8 years one of his dreams has been to do a flip on snow again. Josh was able to sit ski in 2007 and won a champaionship. Then in 2009 won world championships parapglic gins and won a silver medal in 2011.
When most people would give up and resolve to sedentary life, Josh Dueck looked at his accident as an opportunity to pursue his dreams in an entirely different way. Josh true passion is skiing and wouldn't let an accident stop him. After a lot of practice and courage earlier this month on Feb 3, Josh Dueck became the first person to land a back flip in a sit-ski.
Josh motto is: The only difference between the impossible and the possible is one's attitude.
