      So…I don’t think the guy used prosthetics. I played a few video games online with him, and he did not use prosthetics to play. We played a racing game, which was kinda wild, cause he used controller. Would push it down into his thigh for gas/brake on the triggers, and use his nubs for the buttons/sticks. He was pretty well handy (lol) on his own, getting around and stuff. Idk what he did for driving specifically, but he also had a video of him shooting a gun without prosthetics as well.

      All that to say…I don’t think the man had prosthetics lol

        Wait is this the guy who played video games and there are some YouTube videos of him? (The guy in the story is that guy?)

          Yup! He played some CoD and 2k, I think, and I played a game with him called MX Bikes. He was actually pretty damn good at it, even without considering the amputations. He was also featured in a short ESPN doc after winning his regional cornhole championship or something to that effect.

        There’s videos of this guy shooting - he doesn’t use prosthetics.

        I think his arms were amputated just below the elbow and he has some use of that elbow joint now.
