“I can’t believe the difference they’re making”
I use Loopwheels Urban.
“I borrowed a pair of Loopwheels Urban on trial but I just couldn’t wait to get my own pair! I immediately noticed the difference as soon as I put them on my chair, and I would have happily bought them there and then. Just over a week later, I know for sure that they are right for me. I have been in a wheelchair for 32 years and in that time I have tried different kit, so I know when something is working for me.
I feel I am sitting better – before Loopwheels I was getting back ache and shifting in my chair to cope with it, now I’m not feeling it. Coming back after a match the other day, I was rolling along chatting away pain free. I suddenly realised that I haven’t felt like that for a while, and it must be the Loopwheels. I would never have travelled that long distance without pain before. I can’t believe the difference they are making to me!
I have been using them with my Batec bike and also just to push manually. They’re great with both, especially with the Gekko hand rims which are helping me to grip better. I already liked this shape and size for comfort, but with the added grip strip I am finding I have much better propulsion in all conditions, especially in the rain. Really comfortable, and a great design.”
Jason was paralysed due to an avoidable incident on a construction site in 1993. Many years on, Jason now works to help avoid others repeating his experience. In live talks and videos, he tells the story of his life before the incident, the day of the incident, and the time spent in hospital and rehab after his initial release from hospital.
