Aaron Baker is proving doctors wrong every day of his life. Never tell a motocrosser he will never walk again! Right after his injury 8 years ago, his mom and family refused to believe the doctors that said there was no hope for him walking again. They stayed with him and massaged his arms and legs 24 hrs, and he can walk with a cane.
The highlight of the day for WW was sitting with the upbeat and thankful James Marshall (right), and listening in on a conversation with him and Aaron Baker (center), given no hope to use his arms and legs again, and he proved everyone wrong, and a friend of his that was injured in AX 10 years ago (left). Baker told Marshall don't listen to negative doctors and you will always improve if you keep working.
Baker's SCI injury was vertebrae 4-5-6 eight year's ago. He comes to the Road 2 Recovery Golf Tournament every May and is a real inspiration. He's planning a 3,000 mile bicycle ride across the US in a few months too!
Look for a "5 Min With" Interview with Marshall, on line soon.
So Ellie Reed goes up to young X-Games star Ryan Sheckler thinking "I'm gonna hook this kid up."
So she does, and Sheckler says just as she leaves "Oh wow, I hope that wasn't anyone's wife!"
"Hey Ryan, 'ppsssssst.' "
"WHAT! That was Chad Reed's wife?! "I'm dead. I AM dead."
(This kid is in Vegas and has a stack of 100s already? Life is good."
