Thread: Murderball

dougie -the psare tyre goes on the chair ya dont need to lug it round behind ya old dear!

Looks ruthless

Tell you mate to careful with those shoulders, you only have 1 set. and trust me once you f#@k them, its hard.

Wheelchair rugby is fun, but you have to be a Quad to compete, para's aren't allowed, (really not fair, might be a little biased) unless they have changed the rules...

go easy on them, even thought your sitting down, you can still use your gut muscles to keep balanced.

Are you a para?

Internationally, all players have to be quads but nationally, you can be AB...hence why I play! I am a 3.5pointer. No need for me to 'go-easy' on anyone, I work very hard and still get my ass kicked! I have yet to come out of my chair, but it;'s happened to a para mate at practice and to pretty much everyone else during the last couple rounds in the south island.

I use more muscles than you would imagine. I come home with sore triceps for sure but use my hips, legs and ankles quite a lot, judging by the sore muscles after! I have one lap belt and one foot strap. I'm on a mission to get a better lap belt as that energy that is used with me slopping in the chair could be forward energy to sprint faster if I was held in really well like my mates are.

Yup im a para, have been for almost 13 years now

I didn't know about the National able bodied rule, interesting.... I'm used to the Australian rules as i've only just moved back, but then again there are a lot more Quads, due to the bigger population in aus

It's quite hard on the body, as i use to fill a spot when the guys were training, it's an odd feeling when your all strapped into a bash chair and your stuck upside down. like a turtle on his back, can't get back up, lol

You can get a wetsuit material strap made up, i got a pre made one from Sportaid in the states, i use it when i go clay target shooting and also when i take my boat out to target kingfish (snapper are no problem) , as it gives some lowerbody support

Thanks Gibo,

most things are achievable, stairs suck and thats the most limiting factor as i'm a stubborn bastard and won't allow any help.

I've backpacked though the UK by myself for 3 months in 06, wasn't easy but do able, Camped in a tent around Aussie in 07 for 3 months in my Hilux with my partner.

Even scuba dived. although i prefer to be on top of the water, i should have watched Jaws so much when i was younger, lol

and Dougie, i'm based up in the Coromandel, not much up here but bloody snapper and some good buggers.
