2
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,583
Day of finals.

3
00:01:32,667 --> 00:01:35,500
Here we are,
it's 7:30 in the morning,

4
00:01:35,583 --> 00:01:38,166
just getting our last touches.

5
00:01:39,041 --> 00:01:42,083
Gonna hit the can gap,
make my way down,

6
00:01:42,166 --> 00:01:44,083
and, uh, see...

7
00:01:44,166 --> 00:01:45,834
see how I feel this morning.
It's pretty early,

8
00:01:45,917 --> 00:01:48,250
but I feel pretty confident.

9
00:01:48,333 --> 00:01:50,166
Think of all
the Rampages I've done,

10
00:01:50,250 --> 00:01:53,542
I feel more comfortable
this year than I ever have.

11
00:02:07,291 --> 00:02:09,709
Annette:
I was very much in love.

12
00:02:12,542 --> 00:02:14,625
We had Natalie.
She was almost two.

13
00:02:14,709 --> 00:02:16,917
She was beautiful and healthy,

14
00:02:18,041 --> 00:02:19,792
and I was pregnant again.

15
00:02:23,709 --> 00:02:27,625
Mike: I was so excited.
I had such a great summer
playing basketball.

16
00:02:27,709 --> 00:02:30,542
I felt like I was
at the top of my game.

17
00:02:30,625 --> 00:02:33,667
Cynthia:
I was just another
girl living life in LA

18
00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:35,917
with my daughter,
trying to make ends meet,

19
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,208
going from school,
picking her up.

20
00:02:43,291 --> 00:02:44,834
Tobias:
I had graduated school

21
00:02:44,917 --> 00:02:48,333
and was getting ready to do
music and jewelry and ski,

22
00:02:48,417 --> 00:02:51,041
and I thought, well,
I'll take one last trip.

23
00:02:52,750 --> 00:02:55,667
Annette:
My doctor happened
to be out of town.

24
00:02:55,750 --> 00:02:58,083
I had other things
happen at the hospital,

25
00:02:58,166 --> 00:03:00,250
but basically,
I went in to have Anna.

26
00:03:08,709 --> 00:03:12,417
Jesse:
Usually, I surf alone,
but that day, I told my friends

27
00:03:12,500 --> 00:03:14,291
to come meet me at the beach.

28
00:03:18,125 --> 00:03:22,000
Samantha:
We ordered pizza,
had dinner.

29
00:03:23,875 --> 00:03:27,542
Paul: I just wanna warm it up
to this drop in right here,
you know?

30
00:03:27,625 --> 00:03:30,709
Vanessa:
I was in the car with...

31
00:03:30,792 --> 00:03:32,000
the love of my life.

32
00:03:32,083 --> 00:03:34,417
Wish me luck.

33
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:36,792
Morgan:
There was scaffolding
up in front of the house.

34
00:03:36,875 --> 00:03:39,291
They were like, we go
up on the scaffolding.

35
00:03:39,375 --> 00:03:41,583
It's a really pretty view.

36
00:03:44,583 --> 00:03:46,000
Paul:
Bike good?

37
00:03:46,083 --> 00:03:48,208
Who wouldn't want to go to look
at the pretty city lights?

38
00:03:50,500 --> 00:03:54,083
Xander: One o'clock
in the afternoon, bright,
sunny day, big intersection.

39
00:03:54,166 --> 00:03:55,667
I wasn't going very fast.

40
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:04,458
Paul: Whoa!

41
00:04:04,542 --> 00:04:06,333
Russel:
We were playing horseshoes
up on the beach,

42
00:04:06,417 --> 00:04:09,125
and it got hot, so I was like...

43
00:04:09,208 --> 00:04:11,375
I wanna jump off the boat
and jump in the water.

44
00:04:11,458 --> 00:04:13,333
Oh yeah, people
dive off that rock!

45
00:04:16,250 --> 00:04:18,125
-Yeah!
-Jump!

46
00:04:18,208 --> 00:04:19,917
Mike:
A defender came in front of me.

47
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
My legs got taken out
from underneath me.

48
00:04:22,083 --> 00:04:24,125
I laid the ball up,
fell on my back,

49
00:04:24,208 --> 00:04:25,875
and made the layup,
which was great

50
00:04:25,959 --> 00:04:27,959
'cause that would've
made my story kinda lame.

51
00:04:28,041 --> 00:04:30,250
Announcer:
This is 29-year-old
Paul Basagoitia.

52
00:04:30,333 --> 00:04:31,834
Announcer 2:
This guy is such
a legend in the sport.

53
00:04:31,917 --> 00:04:33,750
He's done so much
in the slopestyle world.

54
00:04:33,834 --> 00:04:37,250
The first guy
to ever win back-to-back
Crankworx Slopestyle titles,

55
00:04:37,333 --> 00:04:38,917
and he's got
a very unique line.

56
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,917
Nobody's riding
this far rider's right
except for Paul Bas.

57
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,667
Man:
Three, two, one...

58
00:04:48,208 --> 00:04:50,959
Jesse:
Pulled inside of the barrel,
when I came out,

59
00:04:51,041 --> 00:04:53,291
the wave hit me
in my back, and...

60
00:04:53,375 --> 00:04:54,959
I thought it was
deeper than it was.

61
00:04:55,041 --> 00:04:56,458
Vanessa:
I remember taking off
my seat belt,

62
00:04:56,542 --> 00:04:58,250
turning around to get
something from the trunk,

63
00:04:58,333 --> 00:05:00,458
when I saw him
cutting the wheel
back and forth.

64
00:05:00,542 --> 00:05:02,500
Sam:
Hit a lip too far back
and it flipped me

65
00:05:02,583 --> 00:05:04,333
into almost like a backflip.

66
00:05:07,208 --> 00:05:09,834
Sarah:
I was walking and a tree
just fell on me.

67
00:05:09,917 --> 00:05:11,375
Patrick:
I was holding onto
my mom's hand,

68
00:05:11,458 --> 00:05:12,750
but the force knocked me down.

69
00:05:12,834 --> 00:05:14,709
The tire went
completely over me.

70
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,792
She put the wrong
chemical in the epidural.

71
00:05:19,875 --> 00:05:22,291
-It burned my spinal cord.
-And that's when we launched
off the overpass.

72
00:05:22,375 --> 00:05:24,500
I dove off the back of the boat
and hit the bottom of the river.

73
00:05:24,583 --> 00:05:27,667
I fell out the window
and hit the ground 30 feet.

74
00:05:29,583 --> 00:05:32,166
Paul:
Shit!

75
00:05:36,041 --> 00:05:38,375
Paul:
Aah, fuck!

76
00:05:38,458 --> 00:05:42,500
Announcer: Holy smokes!
Paul, just inches
off of his line,

77
00:05:42,583 --> 00:05:45,125
causing him to come
down into the bushes.

78
00:05:45,208 --> 00:05:46,959
Paul:
I can't move feet--
move my feet!

79
00:05:47,041 --> 00:05:48,875
Medic:
Hang on, we got
medical here, hold on.

80
00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:50,792
Hold on. Breathe.

81
00:05:50,875 --> 00:05:52,250
Medic:
Okay, talk to me.

82
00:05:52,333 --> 00:05:54,333
-Paul: I can't move my feet!
-Medic: Hold on, hold on.

83
00:05:54,417 --> 00:05:57,500
Don't move, don't move.
Watch that...

84
00:05:57,583 --> 00:05:58,750
Watch that right arm.

85
00:05:58,834 --> 00:06:00,792
Nichole:
I'm here, baby.

86
00:06:00,875 --> 00:06:03,542
Man:
Okay. We're gonna
roll you over, Paul.

87
00:06:03,625 --> 00:06:05,792
Nichole: Be strong, babe.

88
00:06:05,875 --> 00:06:07,625
-You got it.
-Medic: We got you, Paul.

89
00:06:07,709 --> 00:06:09,917
-Nichole:
Should we strap his neck?
-Medic: Ready? On three.

90
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,083
-Ready? One, two, three.
-Paul: Oh, that hurts.

91
00:06:14,709 --> 00:06:17,250
-Medic: Take him out.
Take him out. Take him out.
-Nichole: You're okay, babe.

92
00:06:17,333 --> 00:06:20,417
Medic:
Nice and easy, nice and easy,
nice and easy, good.

93
00:07:13,208 --> 00:07:15,458
Doctor 1:
We've got this nasty
burst fracture,

94
00:07:15,542 --> 00:07:19,125
obliterated T12 with a large
fragment back into his canal.

95
00:07:19,208 --> 00:07:20,417
His cord is just trapped,

96
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:23,417
and all the ligaments
back here are all torn.

97
00:07:23,500 --> 00:07:24,667
Doctor 2:
Is he moving anything?

98
00:07:24,750 --> 00:07:26,083
Doctor 1:
It's an incomplete injury,

99
00:07:26,166 --> 00:07:28,750
so he's got some movement
in his proximal legs.

100
00:07:28,834 --> 00:07:30,792
The distal legs,
he doesn't have any movement.

101
00:07:30,875 --> 00:07:32,083
He's got some sensation.

102
00:07:32,166 --> 00:07:34,667
Wanna take this bone out
and just do a corpectomy?

103
00:07:34,750 --> 00:07:36,041
We could take
that down,

104
00:07:36,125 --> 00:07:38,375
evacuate the blood,
get you to where you need to be,

105
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:39,792
leave a drain
in afterwards.

106
00:07:39,875 --> 00:07:41,291
I'll just put
a cage in there,

107
00:07:41,375 --> 00:07:44,583
and lock him in
posteriorly as well.

108
00:07:44,667 --> 00:07:46,959
Morgan:
I guess I knew that
I couldn't move, but...

109
00:07:47,041 --> 00:07:49,208
I didn't know...

110
00:07:50,041 --> 00:07:52,792
that I had a spinal cord injury.
I had no idea what...

111
00:07:53,375 --> 00:07:56,583
a spinal cord injury
entailed or the...

112
00:07:56,667 --> 00:07:58,917
things that would come
with my life after that.

113
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,709
They had told my family
and my boyfriend at the time

114
00:08:02,792 --> 00:08:05,959
that I was never
gonna walk again,
but no one had told me yet.

115
00:08:06,041 --> 00:08:07,625
I don't know why no one
told me. I don't know.

116
00:08:07,709 --> 00:08:09,875
I guess it's really hard
to tell someone that.

117
00:08:10,458 --> 00:08:12,125
First thing that you hear
when you open your eyes

118
00:08:12,208 --> 00:08:14,166
after a spinal
cord injury is,

119
00:08:14,250 --> 00:08:16,500
"You're never
gonna walk again."

120
00:08:17,333 --> 00:08:19,500
And I was just like, fuck you.

121
00:08:20,166 --> 00:08:21,792
What do you mean
I'm never gonna walk again?

122
00:08:21,875 --> 00:08:23,834
Like, "Well, we're not
gonna say never,

123
00:08:23,917 --> 00:08:26,500
"but your five percent chance
is pretty slim,

124
00:08:26,583 --> 00:08:29,709
"and at the five percent chance,
it's not going to be

125
00:08:29,792 --> 00:08:32,250
the same way that
you walked before."

126
00:08:32,333 --> 00:08:34,917
I just kind of woke up and...

127
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,583
was in my new body.

128
00:08:39,917 --> 00:08:42,500
Doctor:
Nichole, so we just
finished up the surgery.

129
00:08:42,583 --> 00:08:45,250
From here on out,
it's gonna be a rough road.

130
00:08:45,333 --> 00:08:49,291
He'll have some problems with
bowel and bladder function,

131
00:08:49,375 --> 00:08:50,750
sexual function.

132
00:08:50,834 --> 00:08:55,041
There is a solid chance that
he's not gonna walk again.

133
00:09:19,250 --> 00:09:20,875
Paul:
Day four.

134
00:09:20,959 --> 00:09:22,959
Really tough.

135
00:09:23,709 --> 00:09:26,750
Never in a million years
thought I'd be here, but...

136
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:29,625
if it wasn't for you guys,

137
00:09:29,709 --> 00:09:31,583
I wouldn't be...

138
00:09:31,667 --> 00:09:33,166
trying how I am right now.

139
00:09:33,250 --> 00:09:35,125
You guys have been
a huge support.

140
00:09:35,208 --> 00:09:37,375
-Use your legs
as best you can.
-Nichole: Just stand, baby,

141
00:09:37,458 --> 00:09:39,041
-you got it.
-One, two, three.

142
00:09:39,125 --> 00:09:42,291
Nichole:
Stand, stand, stand.
Push, push, push.

143
00:09:42,375 --> 00:09:44,500
Paul:
Want to see if I'm stable?

144
00:09:44,583 --> 00:09:47,750
-Nichole: Yeah, it's okay.
-Man: I've got his left
side here, Mike.

145
00:09:47,834 --> 00:09:50,500
Nichole:
You're okay, babe. Push.

146
00:10:01,667 --> 00:10:04,166
Physical Therapist:
Okay, nice. Now, we're sitting.

147
00:10:08,417 --> 00:10:09,792
Perfect.

148
00:10:10,709 --> 00:10:13,125
And here we go.

149
00:10:13,208 --> 00:10:16,792
Samantha:
Breaking my back I thought was
similar to breaking your arm,

150
00:10:16,875 --> 00:10:17,959
spraining an ankle.

151
00:10:18,041 --> 00:10:20,083
You put a cast on it,
you get better.

152
00:10:20,166 --> 00:10:23,125
I didn't understand that
neck meant quadriplegic.

153
00:10:23,208 --> 00:10:25,750
I didn't understand that
back meant paraplegic.

154
00:10:25,834 --> 00:10:28,792
I thought the people
that were in wheelchairs

155
00:10:28,875 --> 00:10:30,000
were born like that.

156
00:10:30,083 --> 00:10:33,208
I had no idea that you
could become paralyzed.

157
00:10:33,291 --> 00:10:35,667
I had gotten an iPad,
and I remember looking it up

158
00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:39,959
and just pulling up a chart
where it literally tells you
your whole entire spine

159
00:10:40,041 --> 00:10:42,834
and then seeing paraplegia,
this is what it is.

160
00:10:42,917 --> 00:10:45,542
This is the spinal cord chart,
and that's about it.

161
00:10:54,041 --> 00:10:56,333
Nichole:
It's gonna get better, babe.

162
00:10:57,792 --> 00:11:00,917
Paul:
Just wanna lock bands, get
these legs moving, and just...

163
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,875
help people in the future
with, you know,

164
00:11:03,959 --> 00:11:06,875
the same situation,
and hopefully I can...

165
00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:09,750
be the guidance
for someone else.

166
00:11:15,542 --> 00:11:18,041
When you see somebody
in a wheelchair in public,

167
00:11:18,125 --> 00:11:23,291
you just see them struggle
getting from point A
to point B.

168
00:11:26,417 --> 00:11:27,709
The real struggle is

169
00:11:27,792 --> 00:11:30,583
what goes on behind
closed doors.

170
00:11:31,583 --> 00:11:33,583
When they started
telling me more about

171
00:11:33,667 --> 00:11:35,625
the injury
and what it really meant

172
00:11:35,709 --> 00:11:39,792
to be paralyzed,
and not to be able to feel
your body,

173
00:11:39,875 --> 00:11:42,250
not being able to use
the restroom by yourself,

174
00:11:42,625 --> 00:11:44,208
it's everybody's
worst nightmare.

175
00:11:44,291 --> 00:11:45,583
It's 3:00 in the morning,

176
00:11:45,667 --> 00:11:48,542
and, uh, this is what
I have to go through.

177
00:11:48,625 --> 00:11:50,792
Ten o'clock at night,
12 o'clock at night,

178
00:11:50,875 --> 00:11:54,250
three o'clock in the morning,
six o'clock in the morning.

179
00:12:34,750 --> 00:12:36,709
Not a good time.

180
00:12:47,208 --> 00:12:49,667
Sam:
I hated my fiancée seeing me.

181
00:12:49,750 --> 00:12:51,208
I think the first
thing I said to her--

182
00:12:51,291 --> 00:12:53,542
'cause we were due
to get married in April,

183
00:12:53,625 --> 00:12:55,583
and I was hurt in September,

184
00:12:55,667 --> 00:12:57,875
and I remember when
she got to the hospital,

185
00:12:57,959 --> 00:13:00,458
I remember just laying
there. I couldn't...

186
00:13:00,542 --> 00:13:02,959
really grab her hand
or anything, and...

187
00:13:03,625 --> 00:13:06,000
I remember saying to her,
"You're not marrying me."

188
00:13:06,083 --> 00:13:08,125
Like, "You're not
marrying a vegetable."

189
00:13:09,625 --> 00:13:12,208
Paul:
My girlfriend's been
sleeping in that corner

190
00:13:12,291 --> 00:13:15,041
on that bed for
the last two weeks.

191
00:13:17,250 --> 00:13:19,083
It kills me.

192
00:13:31,125 --> 00:13:33,000
Ron:
I went from being
a hotshot tank commander

193
00:13:33,083 --> 00:13:35,917
to being like
an overgrown baby.

194
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,709
I had to get my ass wiped
for me. I had to get bathed.

195
00:13:38,792 --> 00:13:40,375
I had to get clothed.

196
00:13:41,125 --> 00:13:43,333
I can't even--
Humbling isn't even a word.

197
00:13:43,417 --> 00:13:46,041
It was, it was, uh...

198
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,542
I wanted to die.
I had-- I felt like,
why am I living?

199
00:13:50,625 --> 00:13:54,917
If I can't be the same
person that I was before,
why am I still here?

200
00:13:55,041 --> 00:13:58,625
I wanted them to like do
something to just...
end my life.

201
00:13:58,709 --> 00:14:02,667
I just couldn't--
I didn't see how I could
continue living like that,

202
00:14:02,750 --> 00:14:04,750
or like this.

203
00:14:08,542 --> 00:14:11,792
Today felt like it was
the very first day that...

204
00:14:12,917 --> 00:14:14,709
reality actually set in.

205
00:14:14,792 --> 00:14:18,417
I'll never be back
on my bike or walking.

206
00:14:46,041 --> 00:14:48,208
Aaron:
There were a lot of little

207
00:14:48,291 --> 00:14:50,291
boxes that they put us in.

208
00:14:50,375 --> 00:14:52,333
Time frames,
what to expect when.

209
00:14:52,417 --> 00:14:54,083
Six months, really great.

210
00:14:54,166 --> 00:14:56,917
Twelve months, definitely
getting some stuff back.

211
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,500
Eighteen months to two years,
you're maxing out.

212
00:14:59,583 --> 00:15:01,000
They told me that I would make

213
00:15:01,083 --> 00:15:02,875
my most progress
within two years.

214
00:15:02,959 --> 00:15:07,792
Right away, it was in this gym,
was working towards being...

215
00:15:08,333 --> 00:15:11,917
not necessarily out of
the wheelchair, just being...

216
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,166
the best I could be
in this situation.

217
00:15:15,792 --> 00:15:18,709
-Want some music?
-Maybe.

218
00:15:18,792 --> 00:15:22,083
- Nichole: Use all the power
have, babe. You can do it.

219
00:15:22,166 --> 00:15:25,083
And then just
as you come up,
just keep bringing

220
00:15:25,166 --> 00:15:27,542
your hips forward
and your chest up.

221
00:15:27,625 --> 00:15:29,750
And the hips kind of
follow the chest.

222
00:15:29,834 --> 00:15:32,166
Just up
and forward.

223
00:15:34,166 --> 00:15:37,041
Nichole:
You got it, you got.
Use those legs.

224
00:15:39,083 --> 00:15:43,458
Physical therapist:
As you feel, start walking,
hands forward.

225
00:15:44,583 --> 00:15:46,333
This is him.

226
00:15:46,417 --> 00:15:48,959
-He's got it.
-Nichole: Nice job, babe.

227
00:15:50,083 --> 00:15:52,041
Good. Good!

228
00:15:55,667 --> 00:15:57,458
Paul:
Two wheels was my life.

229
00:16:06,667 --> 00:16:10,291
Started riding a bike
without training wheels
when I was two years old.

230
00:16:10,375 --> 00:16:12,083
My dad would just
give me one good push,

231
00:16:12,166 --> 00:16:15,917
and I was able
to maintain that speed.

232
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,667
I remember going
into the bike shop

233
00:16:17,750 --> 00:16:22,375
with my mom and purchasing
my first BMX racing bike.

234
00:16:22,458 --> 00:16:24,625
Getting out of school,
the first thing I would do

235
00:16:24,709 --> 00:16:26,542
is go to this vacant lot.

236
00:16:26,625 --> 00:16:29,709
All the teenagers would go
out there and build jumps.

237
00:16:31,542 --> 00:16:32,875
That's all I wanted to do.

238
00:16:32,959 --> 00:16:35,792
I wanted to compete,
and I wanted to race.

239
00:16:35,875 --> 00:16:37,583
Announcer:
Basagoitia moving to the front!

240
00:16:37,667 --> 00:16:41,625
The Flash dropping
one in the first turn!
Hasslegrave going down!

241
00:16:41,709 --> 00:16:43,667
Paul:
I loved training,

242
00:16:43,750 --> 00:16:47,375
working hard,
and getting the results.

243
00:16:47,458 --> 00:16:51,959
I was the best in my age group
in the world, at 10 years old.

244
00:16:53,917 --> 00:16:56,709
Today was a huge
accomplishment for me.

245
00:16:56,792 --> 00:16:58,750
It was the first day

246
00:16:58,834 --> 00:17:01,000
that I got out of bed by myself.

247
00:17:01,083 --> 00:17:03,166
Super emotional about it because

248
00:17:03,250 --> 00:17:06,750
every morning, that's like
the hardest thing for me is to,

249
00:17:06,834 --> 00:17:09,166
you know,
get out of bed because,

250
00:17:09,250 --> 00:17:11,000
you know, the night before,
you're always dreaming

251
00:17:11,083 --> 00:17:13,625
about riding and hanging out
with your friends,

252
00:17:13,709 --> 00:17:16,625
living a normal life,
and then you wake up.

253
00:17:17,208 --> 00:17:19,375
Reality sets in.

254
00:17:20,166 --> 00:17:22,166
I get choked up
even thinking about it, so...

255
00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:25,583
I'm gonna keep
plugging away and do my best.

256
00:17:33,458 --> 00:17:35,208
Woman:
You wanna keep your elbows in.

257
00:17:35,291 --> 00:17:36,959
Man:
We're gonna take you
in backwards here,

258
00:17:37,041 --> 00:17:39,000
so in the first row.

259
00:17:41,166 --> 00:17:42,542
Whoa!

260
00:17:42,625 --> 00:17:44,125
-Man: Don't be alarmed.
-Okay.

261
00:17:44,208 --> 00:17:45,709
Woman:
Yeah, you're good.

262
00:17:45,792 --> 00:17:47,667
Jesse:
If I could've gone home

263
00:17:47,750 --> 00:17:49,625
right away, I would, but...

264
00:17:49,709 --> 00:17:52,792
you have to do
certain things to be able
to get ready for that.

265
00:17:53,417 --> 00:17:55,375
Steph:
It blew my mind.

266
00:17:55,458 --> 00:17:58,875
I went from being so independent

267
00:17:58,959 --> 00:18:01,375
to just starting all over again,

268
00:18:01,458 --> 00:18:04,250
to the days that I don't
even remember, as an infant.

269
00:18:05,125 --> 00:18:08,333
- Woman: Grab your...
and meet you on the other side.
- Okay.

270
00:18:08,917 --> 00:18:11,125
Man: Coming down.

271
00:18:11,709 --> 00:18:14,667
I went to my rehab
hospital and I said,

272
00:18:14,750 --> 00:18:18,667
how many people
have walked out
of your hospital?

273
00:18:18,750 --> 00:18:21,125
He said not many. And I said,
well, add me to that list

274
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:23,458
'cause I'm not leaving
here till I walk again.

275
00:18:26,875 --> 00:18:28,208
Paul:
First day at Craig.

276
00:18:28,291 --> 00:18:29,875
-Are you excited?
-Yeah.

277
00:18:29,959 --> 00:18:31,750
-Are you?
-Paul: I'm, um...

278
00:18:31,834 --> 00:18:34,083
I'm a little nervous,
but I'm excited.

279
00:18:34,166 --> 00:18:36,208
I'm hoping to see some progress

280
00:18:36,291 --> 00:18:38,417
and maybe walk
out of this place.

281
00:18:44,125 --> 00:18:46,750
All right, let me see what
you can do with this foot.

282
00:18:46,834 --> 00:18:48,083
Okay.

283
00:18:55,208 --> 00:18:57,875
Where do you feel that?
Okay.

284
00:18:59,333 --> 00:19:02,709
Steph:
The team that was
working with me told me

285
00:19:02,792 --> 00:19:05,333
they can't tell me what
my life is gonna be like

286
00:19:05,417 --> 00:19:08,208
because every spinal cord
injury is so different.

287
00:19:09,583 --> 00:19:12,959
Some people
do have some movement.
Some people don't have movement.

288
00:19:13,041 --> 00:19:15,750
Some people have sensation,
some people don't.

289
00:19:18,041 --> 00:19:19,291
Vanessa:
Once I heard that there was

290
00:19:19,375 --> 00:19:21,750
no two spinal cord
injuries alike,

291
00:19:21,834 --> 00:19:23,875
and that you shouldn't
compare yourself...

292
00:19:27,500 --> 00:19:29,583
Tobias:
Everybody's a snowflake.

293
00:19:30,250 --> 00:19:33,792
Every individual
and their injury

294
00:19:33,875 --> 00:19:38,125
is different and acts
and reacts differently.

295
00:19:38,208 --> 00:19:40,667
So, there's no way
for any one person to understand

296
00:19:40,750 --> 00:19:45,208
how another person
is experiencing this injury.

297
00:19:47,041 --> 00:19:52,041
There's not one person here
at the hospital that's not
in a wheelchair, and, uh...

298
00:19:52,125 --> 00:19:56,417
matter of fact,
there's people here
a lot worse than I am.

299
00:19:56,500 --> 00:19:59,500
And it's, um, quite scary,
you know?

300
00:19:59,583 --> 00:20:02,750
Everybody is literally here...

301
00:20:04,333 --> 00:20:06,375
for the same reason, and...

302
00:20:07,333 --> 00:20:09,834
and in this case, it's...

303
00:20:09,917 --> 00:20:12,166
you know,
because you're paralyzed.

304
00:20:22,959 --> 00:20:24,709
Annette:
They were having me
do a lot of things

305
00:20:24,792 --> 00:20:26,583
to work in the wheelchair.

306
00:20:26,667 --> 00:20:28,250
And I was like, no,
I just wanna walk.

307
00:20:28,333 --> 00:20:30,208
I only want to be doing
therapy for my legs.

308
00:20:30,291 --> 00:20:31,542
I don't want to transfer.

309
00:20:31,625 --> 00:20:33,083
I don't want you to tell me
in a wheelchair.

310
00:20:33,166 --> 00:20:35,875
I have to go to the refrigerator
and take out a dozen eggs.

311
00:20:35,959 --> 00:20:39,667
I was getting so...
frustrated by them, like,

312
00:20:39,750 --> 00:20:43,166
we want to teach you
how to diaper your baby
at the wheelchair--

313
00:20:43,250 --> 00:20:45,166
like, it was always
the wheelchair level.

314
00:20:53,291 --> 00:20:56,500
Samantha: They would tell me
to get out of my chair
and get on the floor,

315
00:20:56,583 --> 00:20:57,917
and then get back into my chair.

316
00:20:58,000 --> 00:20:59,583
This is how you're
gonna put on your pants.

317
00:20:59,667 --> 00:21:01,166
This is how you're
gonna get in the shower.

318
00:21:01,250 --> 00:21:04,875
And I feel like I still needed
time to process things...

319
00:21:06,583 --> 00:21:08,834
...and grieve a little bit.

320
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:36,291
Woman: Paul, it's your mom.
I'm just calling

321
00:21:36,375 --> 00:21:38,959
'cause I heard the bad news.

322
00:21:39,041 --> 00:21:40,875
Have Nichole give me a call,

323
00:21:40,959 --> 00:21:44,083
and let me know how
you're doing, please.

324
00:21:44,166 --> 00:21:45,834
Bye.

325
00:21:45,917 --> 00:21:47,917
Paul:
I haven't spoken
to my mom in years.

326
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:49,458
We don't see
eye to eye on things,

327
00:21:49,542 --> 00:21:52,291
and when I get back home,
we can try to fix things,

328
00:21:52,375 --> 00:21:54,875
but right now,
it's not the time.

329
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,792
Growing up wasn't easy.

330
00:21:58,875 --> 00:22:01,500
In 1995, my parents
bought this motel.

331
00:22:01,583 --> 00:22:04,792
Pretty beat up, the roof
was about to fall off,

332
00:22:04,875 --> 00:22:06,625
but it was their dream.

333
00:22:06,709 --> 00:22:09,375
My mom would take me
all around the US

334
00:22:09,458 --> 00:22:11,625
while my dad was
at home working,

335
00:22:11,709 --> 00:22:14,709
and raising enough money
for us to do these races.

336
00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:17,417
My mom pushed me to the max.

337
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:20,875
I would do four to five races
every week.

338
00:22:20,959 --> 00:22:22,500
The days I wasn't
doing so well,

339
00:22:22,583 --> 00:22:24,625
she would yell at me,
scream at me.

340
00:22:24,709 --> 00:22:27,709
As a child,
you don't want to hear
that from your own mother.

341
00:22:27,792 --> 00:22:31,750
But she always wanted me
to be the best.

342
00:22:31,834 --> 00:22:33,875
Every time we would come back
from the races,

343
00:22:33,959 --> 00:22:37,375
my dad was drunk,
my mom was upset.

344
00:22:37,458 --> 00:22:39,750
Once my parents got divorced,

345
00:22:39,834 --> 00:22:41,917
everything just stopped.

346
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,667
My mom ended up
taking over the hotel.

347
00:22:44,750 --> 00:22:47,083
My dad was like,
all I want is one room

348
00:22:47,166 --> 00:22:49,917
until I'm able to figure out
my shit again.

349
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,333
He worked so hard
to get that hotel

350
00:22:53,417 --> 00:22:55,917
and help me with my BMX career.

351
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,500
Told my dad, I'm like, hey,
I'm gonna be next to you

352
00:22:58,583 --> 00:23:01,125
whether the situation
is good or bad.

353
00:23:01,875 --> 00:23:04,166
We lived together in room 120

354
00:23:04,250 --> 00:23:06,458
for a good three years.

355
00:23:09,458 --> 00:23:12,166
Hi, brother!

356
00:23:22,750 --> 00:23:24,792
Paul:
Just make sure
the brakes are on.

357
00:23:24,875 --> 00:23:26,208
-Got your brakes on?
-Paul: Yeah.

358
00:23:26,291 --> 00:23:28,083
Okay.

359
00:23:28,166 --> 00:23:30,458
-Thanks for dinner,
it was good.
-All right.

360
00:23:33,625 --> 00:23:35,458
Paul:
Yeah, I'll see you
tomorrow, buddy.

361
00:23:35,542 --> 00:23:37,083
Watch it out,
it's ice.

362
00:23:37,166 --> 00:23:38,500
Okay.

363
00:23:41,333 --> 00:23:44,583
Dude, I've never,
ever seen my dad cry.

364
00:23:44,667 --> 00:23:46,166
Never once in my life.

365
00:23:46,250 --> 00:23:48,917
Nichole:
My mom says he's been
crying all week for you.

366
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,750
Yeah.
That was tough.

367
00:23:51,834 --> 00:23:55,000
-Nichole: You're okay.
-I know. I'm just
saying it was tough.

368
00:23:57,333 --> 00:23:59,375
Like, 'cause you know, like...

369
00:24:01,041 --> 00:24:04,542
I don't know.
You just know it's serious
when he's crying, you know?

370
00:24:05,333 --> 00:24:07,125
My dad's been through
a lot of shit--

371
00:24:07,208 --> 00:24:10,083
Nichole: I know, but this is
the first time he's seen
anything for you.

372
00:24:10,166 --> 00:24:13,792
I know. I just know right
when he saw me the first time
in the wheelchair,

373
00:24:13,875 --> 00:24:16,750
-he was devastated--
For sure. He was...
-Cried a little.

374
00:24:17,208 --> 00:24:19,417
And that's why it took him
so long to come visit me

375
00:24:19,500 --> 00:24:22,250
because he didn't wanna see
me in a wheelchair, you know?

376
00:24:22,333 --> 00:24:23,959
Or in this situation.

377
00:24:24,041 --> 00:24:25,667
Nichole: Baby...

378
00:24:26,458 --> 00:24:29,083
-Toughen up.
-I know. I'm just saying...

379
00:24:29,583 --> 00:24:32,333
-I'm tough-- No, I'm tough.
-Nichole: You're gonna prove--

380
00:24:32,709 --> 00:24:34,834
Told you I was gonna be
emotional when I saw my dad.

381
00:24:34,917 --> 00:24:37,291
-Nichole: But your dad--
-And I was good.
I was good all day.

382
00:24:37,375 --> 00:24:39,458
I was fine, until he...

383
00:24:39,542 --> 00:24:41,709
"No, no, no. Oh..."
I don't know.

384
00:24:43,333 --> 00:24:45,583
-Nichole: Love you so much.
-I love you, babe.

385
00:24:48,208 --> 00:24:50,625
Why is it everybody
other than me

386
00:24:50,709 --> 00:24:52,875
loves being in my wheelchair.

387
00:24:56,166 --> 00:24:57,500
Watch this.

388
00:24:57,583 --> 00:24:59,458
Nichole:
It's obviously
easy for me to say,

389
00:24:59,542 --> 00:25:01,917
"Hey, let's move on," but...

390
00:25:02,041 --> 00:25:05,291
the reason I do act like
that is to encourage him.

391
00:25:05,375 --> 00:25:07,166
Paul:
I wanna see what you got.

392
00:25:07,250 --> 00:25:09,000
Nichole:
If he sees that I'm happy,

393
00:25:09,083 --> 00:25:12,250
I'm hoping
he will try to be happy.

394
00:25:12,333 --> 00:25:13,792
I have to be the rock.

395
00:25:13,875 --> 00:25:16,083
Paul: Gosh.

396
00:25:17,375 --> 00:25:18,834
When you become injured

397
00:25:18,917 --> 00:25:21,959
or your life
changes drastically,

398
00:25:22,041 --> 00:25:23,917
it doesn't only
stop your life,

399
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,917
but it stops
everyone else's around you.

400
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:30,041
You realize that these people
like my fiancée Elise

401
00:25:30,125 --> 00:25:32,667
and friends and...

402
00:25:32,750 --> 00:25:34,417
um, family,

403
00:25:34,500 --> 00:25:36,750
they do it without even...

404
00:25:37,417 --> 00:25:39,166
you know, blinking an eye.

405
00:25:39,250 --> 00:25:42,000
This young kid from
the neighborhood came by,

406
00:25:42,083 --> 00:25:45,041
and he looks into the car,
he's like, you're paralyzed?

407
00:25:45,125 --> 00:25:48,709
I said yes, and I showed him
my handicap sign, my plaque.

408
00:25:48,792 --> 00:25:50,625
He's like wow,
you don't look paralyzed.

409
00:25:50,709 --> 00:25:53,583
So, once this young kid leaves,

410
00:25:53,667 --> 00:25:56,500
she's like, "Mom,
you're not paralyzed."

411
00:25:56,583 --> 00:25:58,542
And I was like, I don't
know where you've been,

412
00:25:58,625 --> 00:26:00,709
but I'm paralyzed Brianna.

413
00:26:00,792 --> 00:26:02,041
She's like, no, Mom.
She's like,

414
00:26:02,125 --> 00:26:04,291
you can move
your legs a little bit.

415
00:26:04,375 --> 00:26:07,250
She's like, someone who's
paralyzed can't move at all.

416
00:26:07,333 --> 00:26:10,375
She's like,
so I don't see you as paralyzed.

417
00:26:10,458 --> 00:26:12,125
So, when she said that to me,

418
00:26:12,208 --> 00:26:16,375
something just shifted
in my mind where no matter what

419
00:26:16,458 --> 00:26:19,208
I'm going through physically,
emotionally,

420
00:26:19,291 --> 00:26:21,083
she just sees me as Mom,

421
00:26:21,166 --> 00:26:23,125
as a complete person,

422
00:26:23,208 --> 00:26:24,583
and her love is unconditional,

423
00:26:24,667 --> 00:26:27,542
and that just gives me strength
to keep on moving forward.

424
00:26:27,959 --> 00:26:30,166
Nothing will ever
change how I feel.

425
00:26:33,333 --> 00:26:35,000
You're my life,

426
00:26:35,083 --> 00:26:36,667
and...

427
00:26:36,750 --> 00:26:38,792
nothing will ever change.

428
00:26:39,959 --> 00:26:43,333
You're my one and only,
my end all be all.

429
00:26:44,166 --> 00:26:46,250
This is nothing for me.

430
00:26:46,333 --> 00:26:49,166
This makes me love you
even more because I know
how much you...

431
00:26:50,166 --> 00:26:54,500
the strong person
that you are, and I love it.

432
00:26:55,500 --> 00:26:56,834
So thankful for you.

433
00:26:56,917 --> 00:26:59,000
Annette:
Nothing had changed for him.

434
00:26:59,083 --> 00:27:01,917
I would've felt it. I would
feel other people's eyes on me

435
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:03,417
differently than they were.

436
00:27:03,500 --> 00:27:06,166
You can sense it.
You know...

437
00:27:06,625 --> 00:27:09,041
this person loves me.

438
00:27:10,041 --> 00:27:12,333
Paul: My babe's leaving
me tomorrow!

439
00:27:12,417 --> 00:27:14,083
I don't want to, babe.

440
00:27:15,542 --> 00:27:17,583
Paul:
Going to be very sad.

441
00:27:17,667 --> 00:27:20,875
No, don't talk about it.
I'm sad, too.

442
00:27:22,625 --> 00:27:25,417
Paul: Reality:
gotta go back to work.

443
00:27:25,500 --> 00:27:27,583
Talk about last night.

444
00:27:27,667 --> 00:27:29,166
What? No.

445
00:27:30,750 --> 00:27:32,375
Paul:
What do you mean?

446
00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:34,959
What part of last night?

447
00:27:35,041 --> 00:27:36,583
What happened last night?

448
00:27:36,667 --> 00:27:38,750
Hmm...

449
00:27:39,709 --> 00:27:41,166
Can you give me...?

450
00:27:41,250 --> 00:27:43,333
No.
What happened last night?

451
00:27:43,417 --> 00:27:46,166
- I'm not talking about that.
- What?

452
00:27:46,250 --> 00:27:47,500
Okay, hand me that...

453
00:27:47,583 --> 00:27:50,333
-Okay, you tell me
what happened...
-No.

454
00:27:50,417 --> 00:27:53,458
...and then we'll discuss
about the Starbursts.

455
00:27:53,542 --> 00:27:54,500
Uh-uh.

456
00:27:54,583 --> 00:27:56,834
Nichole:
Take that towel off.

457
00:27:59,834 --> 00:28:01,208
If...?

458
00:28:02,500 --> 00:28:04,709
Nichole:
If what?

459
00:28:05,250 --> 00:28:08,250
-Two for two?
-Oh my God.

460
00:28:08,834 --> 00:28:13,000
Here's the three questions
people wanna ask when
you're in a wheelchair:

461
00:28:13,083 --> 00:28:14,875
How did you get hurt?

462
00:28:14,959 --> 00:28:16,667
Will you ever walk again?

463
00:28:16,750 --> 00:28:18,208
Can you have sex?

464
00:28:18,291 --> 00:28:21,083
Not as easy
as it once was or as...

465
00:28:21,959 --> 00:28:23,834
normal or romantic

466
00:28:23,917 --> 00:28:26,166
or that kind of thing, you know.

467
00:28:26,250 --> 00:28:29,834
Being with someone
and being intimate
with someone involves so much,

468
00:28:29,917 --> 00:28:31,834
it involves so much more
than just, you know, sex.

469
00:28:31,917 --> 00:28:34,500
When people say that,
sounds like, "Oh, so
then you can't have sex."

470
00:28:34,583 --> 00:28:35,834
No!

471
00:28:35,917 --> 00:28:37,959
That is the only part
of my life I would say is

472
00:28:38,041 --> 00:28:41,000
better than everything,
than it ever was before.

473
00:28:41,083 --> 00:28:43,709
It made me more-- less...

474
00:28:43,792 --> 00:28:45,709
inhibited, I guess,
less afraid,

475
00:28:45,792 --> 00:28:47,583
and made me understand
my body more.

476
00:28:47,667 --> 00:28:50,667
And so, for me, that was
the only plus I got.

477
00:28:51,583 --> 00:28:53,500
Sorry to put it that way.

478
00:29:03,125 --> 00:29:04,375
Nichole:
Hi, babe.

479
00:29:04,458 --> 00:29:06,542
You won't believe
what just happened to me.

480
00:29:06,625 --> 00:29:07,959
Nichole : Why?

481
00:29:08,417 --> 00:29:09,792
Come on.

482
00:29:23,166 --> 00:29:24,667
Yes!

483
00:29:28,166 --> 00:29:30,500
Yeah. Yeah.

484
00:29:32,041 --> 00:29:33,667
- Woo!
- Nichole : Ah!

485
00:29:34,709 --> 00:29:38,750
- I'm about to cry.
- Oh my God.

486
00:29:38,834 --> 00:29:41,250
Paul:
It was the best piss
I ever had in my life.

487
00:29:41,333 --> 00:29:43,166
Nichole:
I'm so happy, baby.

488
00:29:43,250 --> 00:29:45,333
-Love you.
-Okay, love you, too.

489
00:29:45,417 --> 00:29:46,834
-Bye.
-Bye.

490
00:29:48,458 --> 00:29:49,250
Yeah!

491
00:30:01,500 --> 00:30:03,542
Steph:
I'll never forget
that moment.

492
00:30:03,625 --> 00:30:06,875
Picking up a French fry,
slowly bringing it to my mouth,
and when it made it to my mouth,

493
00:30:06,959 --> 00:30:10,750
I cried. I was like, wow,
like, I could beat this.
I can do something.

494
00:30:10,834 --> 00:30:13,291
♪ You're feeling tired,
I know three's a crowd ♪

495
00:30:13,375 --> 00:30:15,125
♪ But if I bring
along a friend ♪

496
00:30:15,208 --> 00:30:17,208
♪ It'll be fine for now... ♪

497
00:30:17,291 --> 00:30:19,041
Aaron:
I stacked those
gains like LEGOs.

498
00:30:19,125 --> 00:30:23,000
I was able to stand in water,
with full bracing.

499
00:30:23,083 --> 00:30:24,959
I was able to regulate
blood pressure.

500
00:30:25,041 --> 00:30:27,667
I was able to give my dad
a hug on Father's Day.

501
00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:30,208
I just started
to really break it down

502
00:30:30,291 --> 00:30:32,458
into those tiny, incremental

503
00:30:32,542 --> 00:30:35,166
improvements,
which were huge.

505
00:30:41,917 --> 00:30:46,166
Vanessa: I got a lot more
shoulder movement, bicep,

506
00:30:46,250 --> 00:30:48,542
and also wrists,
so that was a huge thing.

507
00:30:48,625 --> 00:30:50,083
Had I not done the E-stim,

508
00:30:50,166 --> 00:30:53,458
I do not think I would've
gotten the wrist function back.

509
00:30:54,625 --> 00:30:58,333
I first started out just
being propped up to stand
in a standing frame.

510
00:31:00,750 --> 00:31:03,291
And then I went
to the parallel bars,

511
00:31:03,375 --> 00:31:06,166
and I was moving
one leg, another leg.

514
00:31:13,417 --> 00:31:15,792
Then, I had a walker.

515
00:31:15,875 --> 00:31:19,125
After the walker,
I went to my forearm crutches.

516
00:31:19,208 --> 00:31:21,834
From forearm crutches,
I walked out of the hospital,

517
00:31:21,917 --> 00:31:23,875
had my wheelchair
for long distances.

Physical Therapist:
So, you're picking up your
trailing limbs a little early.

522
00:31:41,125 --> 00:31:42,500
Paul:
Last day at Craig.

523
00:31:42,583 --> 00:31:44,875
I was hoping to walk
out of this place,

524
00:31:44,959 --> 00:31:47,291
but, uh, obviously,
that's not gonna happen.

525
00:31:47,375 --> 00:31:49,291
Keep plugging away
and try my best,

526
00:31:49,375 --> 00:31:52,542
and, hopefully, get back
on my feet here soon.

Paul:
I'll take some,
thank you very much.

532
00:32:15,834 --> 00:32:17,542
I love every single
one of you guys.

533
00:32:21,500 --> 00:32:25,917
Tobias:
The major thing that happens
with a spinal cord injury is

534
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,291
a metamorphosis.

535
00:32:28,375 --> 00:32:31,417
You change,
there's no choice.

536
00:32:31,500 --> 00:32:35,750
You're not the person
that could do all the things
that you could do before.

537
00:32:35,834 --> 00:32:40,709
And when you're in a hospital,
there's a bubble of hope.

538
00:32:40,792 --> 00:32:43,792
There's a bubble
of possibilities that...

539
00:32:43,875 --> 00:32:47,458
that you'll walk again, that
you'll rehabilitate yourself,

540
00:32:47,542 --> 00:32:52,208
and you also are
surrounded by people
whose common goal it is

541
00:32:52,291 --> 00:32:56,917
to get you
as better as possible,
as quickly as possible.

542
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,041
And then when you
leave that environment,

543
00:32:59,125 --> 00:33:01,709
and you go back to the world...

544
00:33:03,041 --> 00:33:05,709
well, the bubble bursts.

545
00:33:26,083 --> 00:33:29,750
Nichole:
Leaving Paul is
really hard for me.

546
00:33:31,083 --> 00:33:32,917
I mean, I still have
to go to work every day

547
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:36,333
and live my life, too.

548
00:33:36,417 --> 00:33:40,917
It's stressful leaving him
in such a delicate state.

549
00:33:45,291 --> 00:33:48,709
A bunch of friends stepped up
and helped modify my house
a little bit.

550
00:33:50,709 --> 00:33:53,875
We had to put a ramp
in the front to get
in the front door.

551
00:33:54,291 --> 00:33:56,000
Where do you want
this guy, Paul?

552
00:33:56,083 --> 00:33:59,208
Uh, you can put
it right here.

553
00:33:59,625 --> 00:34:00,834
-Right here?
-Yeah.

554
00:34:00,917 --> 00:34:02,500
We had to cut a hole
in the wall so I can get

555
00:34:02,583 --> 00:34:04,834
from the front door
to my room in the back.

556
00:34:10,750 --> 00:34:13,041
They redecorated my entire room.

557
00:34:13,125 --> 00:34:15,917
They switched my mom's
side of the house,

558
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,458
and it was now
my side of the house
'cause it was bigger.

559
00:34:19,917 --> 00:34:24,875
But when no one's around
is like when reality
really sets in.

560
00:34:32,291 --> 00:34:34,667
Steph:
It was my first time
looking at my bedroom

561
00:34:34,750 --> 00:34:36,750
from a totally different level.

562
00:34:36,834 --> 00:34:38,875
And I looked around,
and I was like,

563
00:34:38,959 --> 00:34:40,792
whoa, this is my life.

564
00:34:40,875 --> 00:34:42,834
This is what it is right now.

565
00:34:42,917 --> 00:34:44,875
And I remember
bending over my chair,

566
00:34:44,959 --> 00:34:46,709
and I couldn't even
pick myself back up

567
00:34:46,792 --> 00:34:48,333
'cause I didn't have
the arm strength.

568
00:34:48,417 --> 00:34:50,208
And I just bawled my eyes out

569
00:34:50,291 --> 00:34:52,583
in the corner of my room
'cause I didn't wanna
look at it,

570
00:34:52,667 --> 00:34:54,667
I didn't wanna go
further into the room.

571
00:34:58,500 --> 00:35:01,291
Tobias:
It becomes a lonely place.

572
00:35:04,333 --> 00:35:07,417
I would go to the window

573
00:35:07,500 --> 00:35:11,375
because I knew that was
the time of day

574
00:35:11,458 --> 00:35:15,667
when I could get sunlight
through the window.

575
00:35:53,917 --> 00:35:56,041
Cynthia:
It was hard to see my house

576
00:35:56,125 --> 00:35:59,125
the way that I left it
the day of my accident.

577
00:35:59,208 --> 00:36:01,750
All my things were
still in place,

578
00:36:01,834 --> 00:36:04,250
but I knew that this is
where I needed to be.

579
00:36:04,333 --> 00:36:06,458
I couldn't stay in the hospital.
I needed to move on.

580
00:36:06,542 --> 00:36:08,875
I need to start moving
on with my life.

581
00:36:22,125 --> 00:36:23,750
Paul:
The things I miss the most,

582
00:36:23,834 --> 00:36:27,834
the day to day things that
we do that we don't realize--

583
00:36:27,917 --> 00:36:31,333
especially around the house,
you know, like mowing
the lawn, um...

584
00:36:32,083 --> 00:36:36,125
doing house repairs,
cleaning around the house.

585
00:36:36,875 --> 00:36:39,250
And then, of course,
like, you know...

586
00:36:40,166 --> 00:36:42,000
going out and building jumps.

587
00:36:42,083 --> 00:36:45,959
And I used to love going out
and scouting new lines...

588
00:36:46,041 --> 00:36:49,542
It was literally just Cam and I
enjoying that great time,

589
00:36:49,625 --> 00:36:52,750
and it sucks because
we don't do that anymore.

590
00:36:55,291 --> 00:36:57,625
Paul: Let's see you go from
one end to the other, Cameron.

591
00:36:57,709 --> 00:36:59,125
Cameron:
Peter Pan?

592
00:37:04,458 --> 00:37:07,417
Highlight of my day,
Cameron, always.

593
00:37:10,959 --> 00:37:13,375
Good!

594
00:37:13,458 --> 00:37:16,458
I met Cameron when
I was 15 years old.

595
00:37:16,542 --> 00:37:18,667
The first time
riding with Cameron,

596
00:37:18,750 --> 00:37:21,625
I was so blown away,
what he was doing
on a mountain bike.

597
00:37:22,458 --> 00:37:24,709
He was doing all the tricks

598
00:37:24,792 --> 00:37:27,917
on a mountain bike that
I was doing on a BMX bike.

599
00:37:31,417 --> 00:37:34,083
So Cam and I, we became more
than just riding buddies.

600
00:37:34,166 --> 00:37:37,083
You know, we just started
becoming best friends.

601
00:37:37,166 --> 00:37:38,500
I got on his bike, was like,

602
00:37:38,583 --> 00:37:41,166
wow, this actually
feels kind of good,
you know?

603
00:37:43,166 --> 00:37:45,125
Cameron:
Yeah, PB.

604
00:37:45,208 --> 00:37:47,166
Paul:
He was like,
how do you feel about

605
00:37:47,250 --> 00:37:48,750
entering a mountain
bike contest?

606
00:37:48,834 --> 00:37:52,959
Had zero money,
so I ended up
working as a plumber,

607
00:37:53,041 --> 00:37:56,792
and I saved enough to buy
a plane ticket to Whistler.

608
00:37:56,875 --> 00:38:00,625
I had never, ever hit jumps
that big in my entire life.

609
00:38:00,709 --> 00:38:02,917
Must've been at least
10,000 people that year.

610
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:05,083
I was like, holy shit,
this the real deal for sure.

611
00:38:05,166 --> 00:38:07,834
Announcer:
Put your hands together
for Paul Basagoitia!

612
00:38:09,458 --> 00:38:13,041
Paul:
I was there on Cameron's bike,
it wasn't even my bike.

613
00:38:15,834 --> 00:38:18,792
I'm talking to myself.
I'm like, man, Paul,
this is the time to shine.

614
00:38:18,875 --> 00:38:20,625
At the very last obstacle,

615
00:38:20,709 --> 00:38:23,625
I had no idea that I was
gonna backflip onto it

616
00:38:23,709 --> 00:38:25,291
and then tail whip off it.

617
00:38:27,625 --> 00:38:29,917
I was so shocked that
I just did something

618
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,125
that I had no idea
was gonna work.

619
00:38:32,208 --> 00:38:33,834
I don't even own
a mountain bike yet!

620
00:38:33,917 --> 00:38:36,792
I remember Cameron
running to me, gave me
the biggest hug.

621
00:38:36,875 --> 00:38:39,625
That's when I knew
it was a big deal.

622
00:38:41,333 --> 00:38:45,500
I would thank my sponsor,
but I don't have
any sponsor, really.

623
00:38:45,583 --> 00:38:47,291
Going to Crankworx
the second year,

624
00:38:47,375 --> 00:38:49,375
I didn't want it to be a fluke.

625
00:38:57,917 --> 00:39:00,333
Paul:
I'm so stoked! I mean,
last year I came out here,

626
00:39:00,417 --> 00:39:01,709
no sponsors nothing,

627
00:39:01,792 --> 00:39:03,792
and then I won, and then
I did the same thing.

628
00:39:03,875 --> 00:39:06,583
I can't believe I repeated it.
I just can't believe it.

629
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:15,417
To defend my title was
one of the best feelings I had
in my mountain bike career.

630
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:18,250
I was not a fluke.

631
00:39:21,917 --> 00:39:24,083
Before he got hurt,
we started riding a lot more

632
00:39:24,166 --> 00:39:26,583
and I had my riding buddy back
and like, I was like,

633
00:39:26,667 --> 00:39:28,667
man, dude, we're gonna
load up bikes before we know it,

634
00:39:28,750 --> 00:39:31,417
and just like it
never happened and...

635
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:34,250
Trust me, I think about
that every day.

636
00:39:34,959 --> 00:39:36,041
I can only
imagine, bud.

637
00:39:36,125 --> 00:39:38,166
Never in a million
years I thought

638
00:39:38,250 --> 00:39:39,458
I would be
paralyzed, you know?

639
00:39:39,542 --> 00:39:41,500
We've all taken
crashes and...

640
00:39:41,583 --> 00:39:43,375
what do we do? We hit
the ground, we get back up,

641
00:39:43,458 --> 00:39:45,875
you know, and this time,
it was definitely different.

642
00:39:45,959 --> 00:39:47,458
I'll devote any
amount of days

643
00:39:47,542 --> 00:39:49,875
that you want
to go and ride,
and just, uh...

644
00:39:49,959 --> 00:39:51,250
I know that it's...

645
00:39:51,333 --> 00:39:54,625
it's tough, but
whenever you're ready.

646
00:39:56,166 --> 00:39:58,583
That day will come, man.

647
00:40:00,375 --> 00:40:01,750
Yeah.

648
00:40:02,458 --> 00:40:04,125
Be good though.

649
00:40:08,583 --> 00:40:11,917
- I'm here any time you need me, bud.
-  -Thanks, man.

650
00:40:18,458 --> 00:40:20,667
I lost a lot more than...

651
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,375
just my ability to walk.

652
00:40:23,458 --> 00:40:26,834
Like, I lost my friends
and my whole life that I had.

653
00:40:29,709 --> 00:40:31,709
I lost everything.

654
00:40:32,625 --> 00:40:35,291
Everything.

655
00:40:35,375 --> 00:40:39,291
Patrick:
Most people injure themselves
when they're older.

656
00:40:39,375 --> 00:40:41,709
There's this
transition period

657
00:40:41,792 --> 00:40:44,667
that you go through,

658
00:40:44,750 --> 00:40:47,875
and I can't say that I've ever

659
00:40:47,959 --> 00:40:51,500
felt a... sense
of transitioning, you know?

660
00:40:51,583 --> 00:40:54,000
Like, this is
all I've ever known.

661
00:40:54,083 --> 00:40:57,917
I do definitely
get bouts of frustration

662
00:40:58,000 --> 00:40:59,709
and bouts of depression.

663
00:41:00,750 --> 00:41:03,458
Ron:
I was so depressed...

664
00:41:04,041 --> 00:41:06,709
so lost that
I wouldn't even put...

665
00:41:07,125 --> 00:41:11,250
There was no reason
to even get dressed
in the morning.

666
00:41:11,333 --> 00:41:13,875
You know, why'd you
choose me, to happen to me?

667
00:41:13,959 --> 00:41:16,834
I got two kids
and... all that stuff.

668
00:41:16,917 --> 00:41:18,792
You know, I was coaching
their soccer teams

669
00:41:18,875 --> 00:41:21,291
and having fun with them,
and I was like...

670
00:41:21,375 --> 00:41:25,041
I was like thinking,
man, life's over, dude.
I can't do nothing, you know?

671
00:41:25,709 --> 00:41:28,041
I sat there and laid
in my bed in my room,

672
00:41:28,125 --> 00:41:30,625
day up, day night, you know?

673
00:41:30,709 --> 00:41:32,625
Wouldn't get up, wouldn't
get in my wheelchair.

674
00:41:32,709 --> 00:41:35,375
Just laid there,
you know, pissed off.

675
00:41:35,875 --> 00:41:38,542
I didn't even know if
I could finish high school.

676
00:41:38,625 --> 00:41:39,959
Just to go back

677
00:41:40,041 --> 00:41:42,375
and be amongst all my friends.

678
00:41:42,458 --> 00:41:44,333
You know, they're out
there surfing and skating

679
00:41:44,417 --> 00:41:46,250
and partying
and having a good time.

680
00:41:46,333 --> 00:41:50,500
What am I gonna be able to do
that even will allow me
to have fun?

681
00:41:50,583 --> 00:41:53,458
Your friends are telling you
to get out and go do something,

682
00:41:53,542 --> 00:41:56,333
and you're laying there
and you physically

683
00:41:56,417 --> 00:41:58,291
can't get out of bed.

684
00:41:58,375 --> 00:42:01,792
And then they don't understand
why you just lay there.

685
00:42:01,875 --> 00:42:06,375
Mentally, you're just drained
and it just drains your
whole entire body.

686
00:42:06,458 --> 00:42:09,542
I mean, depression,
it is the worst thing.

687
00:42:11,583 --> 00:42:13,375
Woman:
All right, here we go.

688
00:42:13,458 --> 00:42:15,750
Annette: You can't imagine
the different world
you live in,

689
00:42:15,834 --> 00:42:17,250
walking and not walking.

690
00:42:17,333 --> 00:42:18,709
Oh, Annette, we have all
these different groups,

691
00:42:18,792 --> 00:42:20,542
and you can still do
the things you wanna do.

692
00:42:20,625 --> 00:42:23,750
No! I can't even get
to the soccer field
the way I wanna get there

693
00:42:23,834 --> 00:42:26,375
because someone blocked
the gate last week.

694
00:42:26,458 --> 00:42:29,625
I mean, literally,
some guy just blocked
the one entranceway.

695
00:42:29,709 --> 00:42:31,583
Nobody could find him.
No one knew where his car was.

696
00:42:31,667 --> 00:42:34,041
That stuff happens
to me all the time.

697
00:42:34,125 --> 00:42:36,166
I just wanna live
my regular life,

698
00:42:36,250 --> 00:42:39,542
and not have it be a drama
for all the people around me.

699
00:42:39,625 --> 00:42:41,375
Where's the guy?
Who has the key?
Where did he go?

700
00:42:41,458 --> 00:42:42,667
Oh no, how are
we gonna get her in?

701
00:42:42,750 --> 00:42:44,208
We gonna throw her
over the fence?

702
00:42:44,291 --> 00:42:46,125
Does someone have to carry her?
Then my husband's frustrated.

703
00:42:46,208 --> 00:42:48,500
Then my kids are like,
they gotta go to the game.
You know, I just...

704
00:42:48,583 --> 00:42:52,208
That's the kind of thing
that makes me feel bad.

705
00:42:52,291 --> 00:42:56,417
As a human being,
I'm in the way, I'm a problem.

706
00:43:20,834 --> 00:43:22,542
-Paul: How's it going?
-Man: Nice to meet you.

707
00:43:22,625 --> 00:43:24,333
Paul:
Thanks for coming out,
appreciate it.

708
00:43:30,250 --> 00:43:32,041
Auctioneer:
Three hundred bucks!

709
00:43:32,125 --> 00:43:33,750
Auctioneer:
300! 320!

710
00:43:33,834 --> 00:43:36,542
-Man: Got 600 for it!
-600! Yeah!

711
00:43:36,625 --> 00:43:38,333
Whoo!

712
00:43:38,709 --> 00:43:40,875
Man: 800!

713
00:43:43,750 --> 00:43:46,250
-900!
-A thousand bucks!

714
00:43:50,750 --> 00:43:52,291
-Yeah, baby!
-Yeah!

715
00:43:52,375 --> 00:43:53,750
-My turn!
-Paul: Yes!

716
00:43:53,834 --> 00:43:57,208
- A great big hug, man.
- A big hug, man.

717
00:43:57,291 --> 00:44:00,750
Dude!

718
00:44:00,834 --> 00:44:03,000
Paul:
Thanks, buddy.

719
00:44:03,375 --> 00:44:04,709
Cameron:
Dude, you're an animal.

720
00:44:04,792 --> 00:44:06,417
-You're an animal, dude.
-Thanks, man.

721
00:44:06,500 --> 00:44:08,125
-You All right?
-I'm good. I just can't balance.

722
00:44:08,208 --> 00:44:11,000
I just can't balance.
But thanks, buddy,
I appreciate it.

723
00:44:12,709 --> 00:44:14,959
Man:
Everybody come out
to...

724
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:20,250
Man:
Yeah, buddy!

725
00:44:25,083 --> 00:44:26,667
Love you guys!

726
00:44:26,750 --> 00:44:30,500
Once again,
there's no way I'd be able
to do this without you guys.

727
00:44:30,583 --> 00:44:32,709
This fucking injury sucks,
I'm not gonna lie.

728
00:44:32,792 --> 00:44:36,000
Hate it. Everyday, I cry.
I wake up, I'm devastated,

729
00:44:36,083 --> 00:44:39,125
but you guys keep me
plugging away

730
00:44:39,208 --> 00:44:42,083
and trying my hardest to get
back on my feet, and I will.

731
00:44:42,166 --> 00:44:44,709
So, I'll see you guys,
and thank you.

732
00:45:36,041 --> 00:45:37,417
-Howdy!
-How you doing?

733
00:45:37,500 --> 00:45:38,542
What happened?

734
00:45:38,625 --> 00:45:40,750
-Broke my back.
-Oh!

735
00:45:40,834 --> 00:45:42,542
Mountain biking.

736
00:45:42,625 --> 00:45:45,542

Paul Basagoitia,
out here from Reno, Nevada!

758
00:47:45,792 --> 00:47:47,417
Bills.

759
00:47:49,041 --> 00:47:51,542
American Family
Insurance. Bills.

760
00:47:51,917 --> 00:47:53,542
They love me.

761
00:47:54,917 --> 00:47:56,875
Craig Hospital, big bill.

762
00:48:07,959 --> 00:48:10,917
Ron:
I just trained like crazy,
all the time, every day.

763
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,500
About eight to 10
hours a day of my life

764
00:48:13,583 --> 00:48:14,875
for about a year and a half

765
00:48:14,959 --> 00:48:17,709
went into improving my
condition, doing everything

766
00:48:17,792 --> 00:48:20,834
I can to defy anything that
any doctor ever told me.

767
00:48:55,208 --> 00:48:57,792
Paul:
Nichole and I, we actually
went to high school together.

768
00:48:57,875 --> 00:49:01,834
She was one of those, like,
girls that are like, oh man...

769
00:49:02,834 --> 00:49:05,125
What do you think
about Nichole Munk?

770
00:49:05,208 --> 00:49:08,041
Never really thought I had
a chance with her because

771
00:49:08,125 --> 00:49:09,917
she was all about
cheerleading, so...

772
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,834
she was always hanging
out with football players,

773
00:49:11,917 --> 00:49:13,875
basketball players
and stuff, and, uh,

774
00:49:13,959 --> 00:49:16,333
that definitely
wasn't really me.

775
00:49:19,709 --> 00:49:22,291
The first time
we actually hung out

776
00:49:22,375 --> 00:49:25,625
was five years after
we graduated from high school.

777
00:49:26,083 --> 00:49:28,375
Paul:
Good thing
I can do this, huh?

778
00:49:31,792 --> 00:49:33,625
Nichole:
Do you want me
to drive, babe?

779
00:49:33,709 --> 00:49:35,333
I got it.

780
00:49:38,917 --> 00:49:40,542
Paul:
When I got hurt,

781
00:49:40,625 --> 00:49:44,291
she made it very clear that
we're gonna do this together.

782
00:49:44,375 --> 00:49:47,542
I don't know how many
other girls would've
stuck around, you know?

783
00:49:48,875 --> 00:49:50,500
But she stayed.

784
00:49:54,417 --> 00:49:58,375
There's not a day that goes by
that I don't think about
that accident.

785
00:49:59,250 --> 00:50:02,291
At least you, like,
weren't concussed--

786
00:50:02,375 --> 00:50:04,917
I kind of wish I was.
I wish I was knocked out,

787
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:06,834
so I don't
remember any of it.

788
00:50:06,917 --> 00:50:09,333
-Nichole: No because--
-The problem is,
I know everything.

789
00:50:09,417 --> 00:50:12,166
I know, word by word,
I remember everything

790
00:50:12,250 --> 00:50:14,834
like it was yesterday.
That's the shitty part is...

791
00:50:14,917 --> 00:50:16,709
I deal with this
every single day

792
00:50:16,792 --> 00:50:18,875
because I remember
it so clearly.

793
00:50:30,667 --> 00:50:32,917
-There's the site.
-Nichole: Holy.

794
00:50:42,583 --> 00:50:44,125
Oh.

795
00:50:44,208 --> 00:50:46,166
Rampage Strait!
What up?

796
00:50:46,250 --> 00:50:48,166
-How you doing, dude?
-Cool. How you doing?

797
00:50:48,250 --> 00:50:50,041
-How's it out there?
-Pretty good, man.

798
00:50:50,125 --> 00:50:52,125
-Good to see you, man.
-Yeah, it's pretty good.

799
00:51:06,959 --> 00:51:08,875
Where I caught
my pedal, huh?

800
00:51:08,959 --> 00:51:10,125
Right here, yeah,

801
00:51:10,208 --> 00:51:12,333
and then you landed...

802
00:51:13,375 --> 00:51:14,333
there.

803
00:51:14,417 --> 00:51:16,250
Cliff's not
even that tall.

804
00:51:16,333 --> 00:51:17,917
-Nichole: Yeah.
-I guess going--

805
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,542
You were going
fast though.

806
00:51:19,625 --> 00:51:21,500
Going 50 miles per hour.

807
00:51:40,917 --> 00:51:42,875
Sam:
Even though it's
given me so much,

808
00:51:42,959 --> 00:51:46,792
I go through the emotions
weekly of...

809
00:51:46,875 --> 00:51:48,667
I hate that sport.
You know, I hate...

810
00:51:48,750 --> 00:51:52,125
that I dedicated my life
to it and it did this to me.

811
00:52:26,667 --> 00:52:28,625
For 10 years straight,

812
00:52:28,709 --> 00:52:32,875
I did everything
that I could to walk again.

813
00:52:32,959 --> 00:52:34,625
We put all of our
resources into it.

814
00:52:34,709 --> 00:52:37,208
I fought...

815
00:52:37,583 --> 00:52:39,875
as hard as I've ever
fought for anything.

816
00:52:43,041 --> 00:52:44,458
Man : Let go.

817
00:52:46,875 --> 00:52:48,875
Like a pump.

818
00:52:50,125 --> 00:52:54,667
Get rid of the CO2
effectively,

819
00:52:54,750 --> 00:52:57,333
influencing the chemistry
of the body.

820
00:53:03,125 --> 00:53:05,458
We do 30 breaths.

821
00:53:09,959 --> 00:53:11,583
Paul:
Jessy, what's up, buddy?

822
00:53:14,542 --> 00:53:17,125
If you have any sensation
below your injury,

823
00:53:17,208 --> 00:53:19,250
man, that's, that's huge.

824
00:53:22,500 --> 00:53:26,166
Paul:
I'm able to walk around with
two AFO braces, two canes,

825
00:53:26,250 --> 00:53:29,959
and I'm also able to pedal
a stationary bike as well.

826
00:53:33,083 --> 00:53:35,375
I have my core, I have my quads,

827
00:53:35,458 --> 00:53:37,458
so that's how I'm
able to get around.

828
00:53:37,542 --> 00:53:40,166
But what's holding me
back to walk is my glutes.

829
00:53:40,250 --> 00:53:43,208
So, if you take the canes
or the crutches away from me,

830
00:53:43,291 --> 00:53:45,625
I just fall down.

831
00:53:51,333 --> 00:53:52,709
Oh wow.

832
00:54:05,291 --> 00:54:06,625
Woman:
While some recipients

833
00:54:06,709 --> 00:54:09,250
claim to receive great
benefits from stem cells,

834
00:54:09,333 --> 00:54:13,458
these treatments are not
available past clinical trials
in the US.

835
00:54:13,542 --> 00:54:15,750
However, overseas...

836
00:54:15,834 --> 00:54:18,417
Xander: Summer of 2015,
I started a medical trial.

837
00:54:18,500 --> 00:54:20,208
I was patient zero.

838
00:54:20,291 --> 00:54:22,250
The science
that they were using on me

839
00:54:22,333 --> 00:54:24,875
had me standing up,
weight-bearing.

840
00:54:24,959 --> 00:54:27,667
I had regained movement
and control of my hips.

841
00:54:27,750 --> 00:54:30,166
I still have control
of my hips now.

842
00:54:30,250 --> 00:54:32,375
I used to be paralyzed
from the ribs down.

843
00:54:32,458 --> 00:54:35,750
My body is... way different
than it used to be

844
00:54:35,834 --> 00:54:39,083
because of this
trial specifically.

845
00:54:39,166 --> 00:54:43,083
But the trial unleashed
a whole new world

846
00:54:43,166 --> 00:54:47,000
of so much pain,
so much spasticity,
so much...

847
00:54:48,458 --> 00:54:50,667
so many symptoms that,

848
00:54:50,750 --> 00:54:53,542
for years, I was
lucky to never have.

849
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:57,291
Do I wanna be the first
guy in space? No.

850
00:54:57,375 --> 00:54:59,041
I'll wait until, like,

851
00:54:59,125 --> 00:55:00,750
space travel is...

852
00:55:00,834 --> 00:55:03,166
is pretty safe
and everyone's doing it.

853
00:55:03,250 --> 00:55:05,041
There's this website
where it shows

854
00:55:05,125 --> 00:55:06,917
every single trial
in the world,

855
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:08,917
and I went one day,
I spent four hours

856
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:11,583
going through 800
different trials,

857
00:55:11,667 --> 00:55:13,709
looking at them,
reading them,

858
00:55:13,792 --> 00:55:15,959
and I found two.
I found two that I was like,

859
00:55:16,041 --> 00:55:17,291
oh, this sounds good.

860
00:55:17,375 --> 00:55:19,166
And then I sent them
to my doctor, and he's like no.

861
00:55:31,333 --> 00:55:35,166
Bray:
Probably what you did was got
back nerves in the early phase

862
00:55:35,250 --> 00:55:37,667
that were injured
but not dead.

863
00:55:37,750 --> 00:55:41,083
The ones that were actually
damaged completely died off,

864
00:55:41,166 --> 00:55:43,667
and they're likely
in the process of

865
00:55:43,750 --> 00:55:45,917
re-enervating
or regrowth.

866
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:48,750
How do we speed
up that recovery?

867
00:55:50,250 --> 00:55:51,500
-You don't.
-You don't?

868
00:55:51,583 --> 00:55:54,083
You don't think stem cells
would help that out or--

869
00:55:54,166 --> 00:55:56,834
-Well... You know--
-What's your take on that?

870
00:55:56,917 --> 00:55:58,834
It's something that
could be considered.

871
00:55:58,917 --> 00:56:02,000
I'd kinda wanna know
where you really are at
before we did that,

872
00:56:02,083 --> 00:56:05,625
because you may be
in a phase of rapid
regrowth by yourself.

873
00:56:05,709 --> 00:56:07,917
You're finding out that one
of the big problems is that

874
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,166
there's a whole lack of
information out there.

875
00:56:10,250 --> 00:56:11,542
You kind of get
lost in this mix

876
00:56:11,625 --> 00:56:13,667
of who knows all
this stuff properly.

877
00:56:15,083 --> 00:56:17,000
Paul:
I'm finally hearing
about stem cells,

878
00:56:17,083 --> 00:56:19,208
and I still have to get
the right answers.

879
00:56:19,291 --> 00:56:21,709
I gotta know a little bit
more about embryonic

880
00:56:21,792 --> 00:56:23,208
and adult stem cells.

881
00:56:23,291 --> 00:56:25,709
So, I'm kind of just
going day by day

882
00:56:25,792 --> 00:56:27,792
and learning on my own.

883
00:56:35,375 --> 00:56:37,333
I'm lower level, I'm T12,

884
00:56:37,417 --> 00:56:38,917
and I don't have glutes.

885
00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:40,834
I got my quads,
I got some hamstrings.

886
00:56:40,917 --> 00:56:42,959
So I'm able to get around
with canes, you know,

887
00:56:43,041 --> 00:56:44,917
but if I go get
this treatment,

888
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:47,166
and it fires up
just my glutes?

889
00:56:47,250 --> 00:56:48,458
That's
life-changing for me.

890
00:56:48,542 --> 00:56:50,709
Everything got better
after my first treatment--

891
00:56:50,792 --> 00:56:53,625
like skin color,
like muscle tone.

892
00:57:02,750 --> 00:57:04,709
I'm considering
adult stem cells.

893
00:57:04,792 --> 00:57:07,750
It's coming out of your
bone marrow, it's all you.
It's natural.

894
00:57:07,834 --> 00:57:10,333
Adult stem cells
are not good enough

895
00:57:10,417 --> 00:57:13,417
for a treatment for
spinal cord injury.

896
00:57:13,500 --> 00:57:16,959
Embryonic stem cell treatment
is, by far, the way to go.

897
00:57:28,417 --> 00:57:30,750
Woman:
The chances
with embryonic are

898
00:57:30,834 --> 00:57:35,083
if that embryo has
a DNA pattern of cancer,

899
00:57:35,166 --> 00:57:37,458
you can be putting a disease
back into your body.

900
00:57:37,542 --> 00:57:40,500
I would by far tell you
that if you were gonna do it,

901
00:57:40,583 --> 00:57:42,000
-do it with your own cells.
-Right.

902
00:57:42,083 --> 00:57:44,458
At your age, you're still
making decent stem cells.

903
00:57:44,542 --> 00:57:46,125
Paul:
There's been so many
people that showed

904
00:57:46,208 --> 00:57:48,166
huge progress
getting stem cells,

905
00:57:48,250 --> 00:57:50,583
and then I watched
a documentary last week,

906
00:57:50,667 --> 00:57:53,000
and this dude goes
backwards, you know?

907
00:57:53,083 --> 00:57:56,125
He lost the function of
his bowels and bladder...

908
00:57:56,208 --> 00:57:57,500
It made him worse.

909
00:57:57,583 --> 00:58:00,458
Samantha:
I got a stem cell
treatment in Germany.

910
00:58:00,542 --> 00:58:02,125
I did get nerve pain,

911
00:58:02,208 --> 00:58:04,542
which doctors say
it's good,

912
00:58:04,625 --> 00:58:05,792
but...

913
00:58:05,875 --> 00:58:07,959
it's not an easy
thing to live with.

914
00:58:08,041 --> 00:58:10,041
Also, very expensive.

915
00:58:10,125 --> 00:58:11,458
On paper,

916
00:58:11,542 --> 00:58:13,667
there's nothing that
says that it works.

917
00:58:13,750 --> 00:58:15,208
When I first got injured,
they said that

918
00:58:15,291 --> 00:58:18,041
there would be
a cure in five years.

919
00:58:19,959 --> 00:58:22,125
And then when that
five years passed,

920
00:58:22,208 --> 00:58:24,375
they said there'd be
a cure in five years.

921
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:26,959
I've been injured for 21 years,

922
00:58:27,500 --> 00:58:29,792
and I've heard that
four different times.

923
00:58:30,125 --> 00:58:33,000
This is spinal cord injury,
the unknown.

924
00:58:33,083 --> 00:58:35,792
Being in that
unknown zone is...

925
00:58:35,875 --> 00:58:38,125
there's nothing scarier.

926
00:58:39,875 --> 00:58:42,000
Paul:
Dr. Hans Keirstead,
he's been

927
00:58:42,083 --> 00:58:44,834
part of the whole
stem cell research
from the beginning.

928
00:58:44,917 --> 00:58:48,333
In 2002,
he actually made
a paralyzed rat

929
00:58:48,417 --> 00:58:50,333
be able to walk
after injecting

930
00:58:50,417 --> 00:58:53,834
embryonic stem cells into
the spinal cord of the rat.

931
00:58:53,917 --> 00:58:55,250
That is
incredible.

932
00:58:55,333 --> 00:58:58,333
Paul:
If you were in my position,
what would you do?

933
00:58:58,417 --> 00:59:00,959
I'd be very
leery of...

934
00:59:01,041 --> 00:59:04,792
99.9% of
the overseas work.

935
00:59:04,875 --> 00:59:07,250
If you're down in Mexico,

936
00:59:07,333 --> 00:59:10,000
making a treatment
that's unregulated,

937
00:59:10,083 --> 00:59:12,709
who knows if its
actually safe

938
00:59:12,792 --> 00:59:14,125
or efficacious?

939
00:59:14,208 --> 00:59:17,750
Now, this treatment
that we developed,
is it ever gonna

940
00:59:17,834 --> 00:59:21,083
effect 100% a cure?
No, it won't.

941
00:59:21,834 --> 00:59:23,500
You gotta get
in there soon.

942
00:59:23,583 --> 00:59:25,041
The treatment,
I designed it

943
00:59:25,125 --> 00:59:28,041
to be used within
weeks, not years.

944
00:59:30,667 --> 00:59:32,458
Nichole:
Did you really think that...

945
00:59:33,375 --> 00:59:35,291
it would 100%?

946
00:59:35,959 --> 00:59:37,291
I mean...

947
00:59:38,458 --> 00:59:41,083
I worked my ass off
to get to that 100%,

948
00:59:41,166 --> 00:59:42,834
but, I mean...

949
00:59:42,917 --> 00:59:45,333
Nichole: Absolutely.
Yeah, that's never
in question.

950
00:59:45,417 --> 00:59:49,333
I'm not gonna change
my mindset, you know,
regardless.

951
00:59:51,834 --> 00:59:54,875
Nichole:
He wants to be walking
with no crutches.

952
00:59:56,083 --> 00:59:58,250
I want him to realize
he's come so far

953
00:59:58,333 --> 01:00:00,792
and he's upright
and he is walking.

954
01:00:01,291 --> 01:00:04,834
I don't care to run a mile
in under seven minutes.

955
01:00:04,917 --> 01:00:08,625
I just wanna take
a shower standing up,
just little simple things.

956
01:00:08,709 --> 01:00:12,000
End of the day, I just
wanna have independence.

957
01:00:13,041 --> 01:00:14,834
I don't think I ever thought

958
01:00:14,917 --> 01:00:17,166
that I could
possibly die this way

959
01:00:17,250 --> 01:00:19,333
without ever taking
another step.

960
01:00:21,041 --> 01:00:22,667
I mean, I just...

961
01:00:23,834 --> 01:00:25,000
I don't--

962
01:00:25,083 --> 01:00:26,542
I don't know,

963
01:00:26,625 --> 01:00:28,250
but I guess it's possible.

964
01:00:28,333 --> 01:00:31,333
I mean, it's possible
that could be it for me.

965
01:00:31,834 --> 01:00:34,291
I still think, in my dreams,

966
01:00:34,375 --> 01:00:36,041
I'm walking.

967
01:00:44,083 --> 01:00:45,542
Man:
For this journey,

968
01:00:45,625 --> 01:00:48,458
we focused on fetal stem cells,

969
01:00:48,542 --> 01:00:50,583
arguably the most contested

970
01:00:50,667 --> 01:00:52,333
and controversial form

971
01:00:52,417 --> 01:00:54,792
of stem cell therapy to date.

972
01:00:54,875 --> 01:00:57,291
I didn't even know that
even existed until basically

973
01:00:57,375 --> 01:00:59,041
you brought that
to my attention.

974
01:00:59,125 --> 01:01:00,709
Warren:
It's just crazy how...

975
01:01:03,333 --> 01:01:06,583
Man:
They use the stem cells
from an unborn fetus,

976
01:01:06,667 --> 01:01:08,917
the mother's going to have
an abortion anyway.

977
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:12,542
After the abortion, rather
than discard that fetus,

978
01:01:12,625 --> 01:01:15,417
they harvest the stem cells.

979
01:01:15,500 --> 01:01:17,166
Paul:
What we need is
the neuron cells,

980
01:01:17,250 --> 01:01:20,417
so fetal stems cells, you're
able to get that neuron cell.

981
01:01:20,500 --> 01:01:22,000
I know it's only
been a couple weeks,

982
01:01:22,083 --> 01:01:24,291
but have you seen any
gains from this treatment?

983
01:01:30,500 --> 01:01:32,250
Paul:
Man, that's amazing.

984
01:01:32,333 --> 01:01:34,709
If I can get my glutes
to fire back up,

985
01:01:34,792 --> 01:01:36,542
that would be
life-changing for me.

986
01:01:39,542 --> 01:01:41,750
Paul:
If you mention
the word stem cells,

987
01:01:41,834 --> 01:01:44,000
everyone's like,
oh, you're nuts.

988
01:01:44,083 --> 01:01:46,583
Second off, if you tell them
what kind of stem cells,

989
01:01:46,667 --> 01:01:48,834
fetal stem cells,
people are gonna be like...

990
01:01:48,917 --> 01:01:50,333
now, you're really crazy.

991
01:01:50,417 --> 01:01:52,000
And then to top it off,
to tell them

992
01:01:52,083 --> 01:01:54,709
you're gonna go
to Tijuana, Mexico, to get it?

993
01:01:54,792 --> 01:01:58,458
Oh man, I don't even wanna have
that conversation with people.

994
01:02:00,041 --> 01:02:01,917
Nichole:
I just can't watch it.
I don't wanna watch it.

995
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,583
-I really don't.
-Paul: Until you watch

996
01:02:03,667 --> 01:02:06,959
this documentary,
you should have
an open mind about it.

997
01:02:07,041 --> 01:02:09,500
But right now, you're
so one-sided because

998
01:02:09,583 --> 01:02:12,375
all you're
thinking of is,

999
01:02:12,458 --> 01:02:15,083
you're gonna go get stem
cells by aborted fetuses,

1000
01:02:15,166 --> 01:02:17,291
but it's not
like that.

1001
01:02:17,375 --> 01:02:19,125
I would've never
thought that--

1002
01:02:19,208 --> 01:02:21,542
and I'm sure you didn't either--
that we'd be in a position

1003
01:02:21,625 --> 01:02:23,500
where we actually have
to make a tough decision

1004
01:02:23,583 --> 01:02:26,291
based off of something
that's really fucked up.

1005
01:02:26,375 --> 01:02:28,792
-It's hard to explain--
-You know, but the thing is

1006
01:02:28,875 --> 01:02:31,041
here's what's
always gonna happen,

1007
01:02:31,125 --> 01:02:34,166
and this is always
what you're gonna say.

1008
01:02:34,250 --> 01:02:35,458
"Well, you're not
in my position,

1009
01:02:35,542 --> 01:02:37,166
so you don't
understand."

1010
01:02:37,542 --> 01:02:40,291
-And you know that's true.
-Absolutely.

1011
01:02:40,375 --> 01:02:42,417
Sam:
No one in your immediate corner

1012
01:02:42,500 --> 01:02:44,583
ever understands exactly.

1013
01:02:44,667 --> 01:02:46,417
They don't mean to not und--

1014
01:02:46,500 --> 01:02:48,542
but no one understands,
like, how...

1015
01:02:49,083 --> 01:02:51,208
difficult some
things are, or how...

1016
01:02:51,291 --> 01:02:54,291
what you go through every day,
as much as they try to.

1017
01:02:54,375 --> 01:02:56,583
Everybody thinks there's
no hope for this injury.

1018
01:02:56,667 --> 01:02:59,500
I truly believe
there is.

1019
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,625
Nichole:
I'm willing to try
whatever it is

1020
01:03:02,709 --> 01:03:04,750
to get out of where
we're at right now,

1021
01:03:04,834 --> 01:03:07,250
because it's been
terri-- it's...

1022
01:03:07,333 --> 01:03:09,625
mentally, like,
it's not fun.

1023
01:03:09,709 --> 01:03:11,959
You're not a pleasant
person to be around.

1024
01:03:12,041 --> 01:03:14,625
I'm pretty committed.
I already put the deposit in,

1025
01:03:14,709 --> 01:03:17,208
and I'm heading
down there for sure.

1026
01:03:18,166 --> 01:03:20,583
You're gonna go
to Tijuana with me?

1027
01:03:52,709 --> 01:03:55,125
Nichole:
We're literally
in a strip mall.

1028
01:03:55,208 --> 01:03:56,792
Fucking stem cells.

1029
01:03:56,875 --> 01:03:59,000
- At least that place looks nice.
- Really?

1030
01:03:59,083 --> 01:04:04,291
It looks like
Frankie's Spa in Reno.

1031
01:04:04,375 --> 01:04:06,542
Like we should be
getting pedicures,

1032
01:04:06,625 --> 01:04:08,667
not stem cells.

1033
01:04:46,917 --> 01:04:50,458
Paul:
It hasn't even been a week
since the stem cell treatment.

1034
01:04:50,542 --> 01:04:52,375
It's funny 'cause every
morning, I'm like, okay,

1035
01:04:52,458 --> 01:04:54,291
is there gonna be
a new muscle group
to fire back up?

1036
01:04:54,375 --> 01:04:57,166
And it's not like that.
It's gonna take months

1037
01:04:57,250 --> 01:04:58,625
to see any sort of gains,

1038
01:04:58,709 --> 01:05:01,875
and hopefully I see
some gains with muscle.

1039
01:05:01,959 --> 01:05:05,291
You know, I wanna see
my muscle groups
to start firing back up

1040
01:05:05,375 --> 01:05:07,667
and to get stronger
and hopefully start

1041
01:05:07,750 --> 01:05:09,959
wiggling some toes here soon.

1042
01:05:34,583 --> 01:05:36,291
I'm kind of heartbroken.

1043
01:05:38,166 --> 01:05:41,458
The only thing that
the whole procedure
really did to me

1044
01:05:41,542 --> 01:05:43,166
was drain my bank account.

1045
01:05:46,166 --> 01:05:47,709
Nichole:
You don't want two canes?

1046
01:05:47,792 --> 01:05:49,875
No, I want to look
like I'm doing better

1047
01:05:49,959 --> 01:05:51,417
when I go see
my sponsors.

1048
01:05:51,500 --> 01:05:54,208
Nichole: Good call.

1049
01:05:55,208 --> 01:05:56,667
Paul:
99.9% of people

1050
01:05:56,750 --> 01:05:59,750
told me don't do it,
but I think I'm better off

1051
01:05:59,834 --> 01:06:02,500
failing, opposed
to never trying.

1052
01:06:04,709 --> 01:06:06,166
Whoa!

1053
01:06:06,250 --> 01:06:07,417
Victor:
Paul!

1054
01:06:07,500 --> 01:06:09,000
-Paul: Victor.
-It's good to see you.

1055
01:06:09,083 --> 01:06:11,250
-You, too, man, how you doing?
-I'm doing all right.

1056
01:06:11,333 --> 01:06:13,250
-How you doing?
-Not bad, man, not bad.

1057
01:06:14,208 --> 01:06:15,291
So stoked to
see you, man.

1058
01:06:15,375 --> 01:06:18,417
Paul:
I think what helped me
progress

1059
01:06:18,500 --> 01:06:20,625
to one cane was time.

1060
01:06:26,250 --> 01:06:27,667
Yeah, maybe
you progress the most

1061
01:06:27,750 --> 01:06:29,208
in the first two years,
but I don't think

1062
01:06:29,291 --> 01:06:30,417
it's over on
that second year.

1063
01:06:30,500 --> 01:06:33,041
I think there's still
time to get better.

1064
01:06:33,667 --> 01:06:35,500
I've seen it in other cases.

1065
01:06:35,583 --> 01:06:38,417
Took Christopher Reeves
five years to be able
to move a finger.

1066
01:06:38,500 --> 01:06:41,875
It took this one girl
I follow on social media,

1067
01:06:41,959 --> 01:06:45,208
and it took her
seven years to...

1068
01:06:45,291 --> 01:06:48,792
get out of a wheelchair
and start walking with crutches.

1069
01:06:48,875 --> 01:06:51,458
Well, it was three years in
that I got my bladder back,

1070
01:06:51,542 --> 01:06:53,375
and that was when I was
pregnant with Ingrid.

1071
01:06:53,458 --> 01:06:55,959
I'm three years out
and I'm still improving.

1072
01:06:56,041 --> 01:06:58,291
I just started
being able to move

1073
01:06:58,375 --> 01:07:00,625
my lower left
leg, my knee.

1074
01:07:00,709 --> 01:07:04,041
I went to physical therapy
and occupational therapy...

1075
01:07:04,917 --> 01:07:07,291
all growing up and...

1076
01:07:07,375 --> 01:07:08,959
I started this...

1077
01:07:09,041 --> 01:07:12,250
physical, intensive
physical therapy

1078
01:07:13,250 --> 01:07:15,375
at this place called
Project Walk...

1079
01:07:16,250 --> 01:07:17,458
when I was 10.

1080
01:07:17,750 --> 01:07:19,250
Fast-forward eight years,

1081
01:07:19,333 --> 01:07:20,625
when I was graduating
high school,

1082
01:07:20,709 --> 01:07:22,458
I walked across the stage

1083
01:07:22,542 --> 01:07:24,125
at my graduation.

1084
01:07:24,208 --> 01:07:26,291
The more I go through this
injury, the more I realize that

1085
01:07:26,375 --> 01:07:28,458
no one knows anything,
and I just...

1086
01:07:28,542 --> 01:07:30,709
I just chip away at
every day of trying to...

1087
01:07:30,792 --> 01:07:32,125
get a little bit better.

1088
01:07:32,208 --> 01:07:34,625
Just remove the concept of time

1089
01:07:34,709 --> 01:07:35,875
with this injury.

1090
01:07:35,959 --> 01:07:38,083
This isn't a broken
bone where 12 weeks,

1091
01:07:38,166 --> 01:07:41,709
I can cut a cast off and start
getting on with life.

1092
01:07:41,792 --> 01:07:43,792
This is a lifestyle.

1093
01:07:44,458 --> 01:07:47,375
This is a new way
of living and being.

1094
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,291
Woman:
Thank you so much
for answering my boys

1095
01:07:53,375 --> 01:07:55,041
when they sent
you messages.

1096
01:07:55,125 --> 01:07:56,917
All good. I love the support.

1097
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:58,792
-You guys are great.
-Woman: And they just...

1098
01:07:58,875 --> 01:08:01,125
-They're so happy that
you answered them.
-Yeah.

1099
01:08:01,208 --> 01:08:04,041
-Hey, it was finally
nice meeting you.
-He told his whole class...

1100
01:08:04,125 --> 01:08:06,250
And what a hero you were.
It was awesome to them.

1101
01:08:06,333 --> 01:08:07,500
Thank you, man,
I appreciate that.

1102
01:08:07,583 --> 01:08:08,917
And they saw you and
they were so nervous.

1103
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:10,542
They walked around
you a couple of times.

1104
01:08:10,625 --> 01:08:12,542
Aw.

1105
01:08:13,959 --> 01:08:16,000
Paul:
The last 14 years I've
been coming to Crankworx,

1106
01:08:16,083 --> 01:08:17,917
I've been competing
at some type of event,

1107
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:20,250
so it's kinda weird
coming here and...

1108
01:08:20,333 --> 01:08:22,083
kinda just watching.

1109
01:08:22,166 --> 01:08:24,917
-Good luck.
-It's like a kid
at a candy store

1110
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:26,917
and walking out with no candy.

1111
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:29,250
Good man. Gonna
win it this year?

1112
01:08:29,333 --> 01:08:31,417
Last time I did pump track,
it was you and me, man.

1113
01:08:31,500 --> 01:08:33,166
Annette:
The reality is that there's

1114
01:08:33,250 --> 01:08:34,625
human suffering.
That's the thing.

1115
01:08:34,709 --> 01:08:36,875
I was actually mad at myself

1116
01:08:36,959 --> 01:08:38,583
for knowing that reality

1117
01:08:38,667 --> 01:08:41,083
and not accepting my own.
Like not saying,

1118
01:08:41,166 --> 01:08:42,625
that I'm gonna be
subject to that, too.

1119
01:08:42,709 --> 01:08:45,250
I'm gonna be subject
to the laws of nature

1120
01:08:45,333 --> 01:08:46,458
and other people making errors.

1121
01:08:46,542 --> 01:08:48,417
I'm gonna be subject
to suffering.

1122
01:08:48,500 --> 01:08:50,750
This was my first
real suffering.

1123
01:08:50,834 --> 01:08:52,417
It was...

1124
01:08:53,208 --> 01:08:54,792
I can't say I handled
it brilliantly.

1125
01:08:54,875 --> 01:08:57,750
I think it was just more
shocking, and before,

1126
01:08:57,834 --> 01:09:00,750
suffering was always something
that I thought about...

1127
01:09:00,834 --> 01:09:02,625
maybe it'd happen
mostly to someone else,

1128
01:09:02,709 --> 01:09:04,375
or I think the things
I'd been through

1129
01:09:04,458 --> 01:09:05,834
really were more adversity,

1130
01:09:05,917 --> 01:09:07,792
and adversity is something
you can overcome.

1131
01:09:07,875 --> 01:09:10,875
You can pull up your bootstraps,
you can get through it.

1132
01:09:10,959 --> 01:09:13,166
But suffering is
something that you endure.

1133
01:09:22,333 --> 01:09:24,667
Paul:
Last week, a kid found
out that I was in Mexico

1134
01:09:24,750 --> 01:09:26,458
and got stem cells,
and he said,

1135
01:09:26,542 --> 01:09:29,458
"I'm on my way next
month to get it done.

1136
01:09:29,542 --> 01:09:31,250
What do you think?"

1137
01:09:31,333 --> 01:09:33,083
I told him, hey...

1138
01:09:33,583 --> 01:09:34,834
Don't do it.

1139
01:09:34,917 --> 01:09:36,333
I feel like I'm not

1140
01:09:36,417 --> 01:09:39,000
improving that much,
you know, or at all.

1141
01:09:39,083 --> 01:09:40,750
To a point that...

1142
01:09:42,166 --> 01:09:44,125
At least to a point that
I would be able to walk

1143
01:09:44,208 --> 01:09:46,333
without any
assistance, you know?

1144
01:09:46,417 --> 01:09:48,166
I think you're
improving. I mean,

1145
01:09:48,250 --> 01:09:51,208
and it's probably easier for
me to say you're improving

1146
01:09:51,291 --> 01:09:53,750
than it is for
you to, you know,

1147
01:09:53,834 --> 01:09:57,125
like you wanna
be improving

1148
01:09:57,208 --> 01:09:59,166
more and
faster, but--

1149
01:09:59,250 --> 01:10:00,166
To be honest with you,

1150
01:10:00,250 --> 01:10:02,667
I'm definitely
second guessing

1151
01:10:03,041 --> 01:10:05,875
the future and my outcome.

1152
01:10:06,417 --> 01:10:09,000
That makes me choke
up a little bit.

1153
01:10:09,083 --> 01:10:11,166
I've just never
heard you say...

1154
01:10:11,250 --> 01:10:13,083
maybe, this
is it for me.

1155
01:10:13,166 --> 01:10:15,333
-Like, that's...
-I know.

1156
01:10:19,834 --> 01:10:21,583
Paul:
We always want more.

1157
01:10:25,458 --> 01:10:28,792
As humans, we always want more,
no matter what the situation is.

1158
01:10:30,542 --> 01:10:33,125
I used to be the strongest
person to walk into the room.

1159
01:10:34,667 --> 01:10:37,333
I don't know, like
I'm... I'm weak.

1160
01:10:47,208 --> 01:10:48,792
Patrick:
You're definitely
allowed to be sad,

1161
01:10:48,875 --> 01:10:51,542
and you're definitely allowed
to get depressed and you're...

1162
01:10:51,625 --> 01:10:53,208
you don't have to
fight those feelings,

1163
01:10:53,291 --> 01:10:56,250
but you do have to be open to...

1164
01:10:56,333 --> 01:10:58,917
change, and you have
to be open to...

1165
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:00,625
figuring out how to move on.

1166
01:11:00,709 --> 01:11:03,625
If I had gotten frustrated
and resisted everything

1167
01:11:03,709 --> 01:11:05,000
that was a challenge,

1168
01:11:05,083 --> 01:11:07,917
it would be my entire life.
I would be frustrated

1169
01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,834
and annoyed and depressed and...

1170
01:11:10,917 --> 01:11:13,000
that's just no way
to live, you know?

1171
01:11:13,625 --> 01:11:16,750
If you sustained a spinal
cord injury and you survived,

1172
01:11:16,834 --> 01:11:18,542
you've got a second chance.

1173
01:11:18,625 --> 01:11:20,959
This is your second...

1174
01:11:21,041 --> 01:11:22,625
your second ticket...

1175
01:11:22,709 --> 01:11:25,291
on the same train
of life, right?

1176
01:11:25,375 --> 01:11:28,542
So, you shouldn't waste it.

1177
01:11:38,875 --> 01:11:40,834
Paul:
Before this injury,

1178
01:11:40,917 --> 01:11:43,458
I would always tell
myself I would...

1179
01:11:43,542 --> 01:11:46,875
probably take my life
if I was ever paralyzed.

1180
01:11:54,583 --> 01:11:56,375
I'm so glad that

1181
01:11:56,458 --> 01:11:58,667
I was able to overcome that.

1182
01:12:31,500 --> 01:12:33,875
-Nichole: Still taking photos?
-Paul: I'm a perfectionist.

1183
01:12:33,959 --> 01:12:36,834
-Nichole: We have tomorrow--
-Paul: I need to get
that right photo.

1184
01:12:36,917 --> 01:12:40,250
Nichole:
Monday, Tuesday,
and Wednesday to do that.

1185
01:12:40,333 --> 01:12:42,542
Paul: Life is not guaranteed.

1186
01:13:11,417 --> 01:13:15,250
Tobias:
Just because I accept my
situation, doesn't mean

1187
01:13:15,333 --> 01:13:17,333
this is it.

1188
01:13:17,417 --> 01:13:20,208
It doesn't mean that
I can't change it

1189
01:13:20,291 --> 01:13:21,792
or control it

1190
01:13:21,875 --> 01:13:23,917
or move past it.

1191
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:27,375
And so that's the beautiful
part about acceptance.

1192
01:13:27,458 --> 01:13:29,792
It's not admitting defeat.

1193
01:13:29,875 --> 01:13:33,583
It's empowering yourself
to move forward.

1194
01:13:37,250 --> 01:13:40,208
Aaron:
I've given all of
myself to this process,

1195
01:13:40,291 --> 01:13:43,417
and I respect my injury.
I know my body works

1196
01:13:43,500 --> 01:13:45,750
hard for me. I know I have
a spinal cord injury.

1197
01:13:45,834 --> 01:13:47,041
It's gnarly.

1198
01:13:47,125 --> 01:13:50,291
I'm surrounded by it every day.
I live it every day.

1199
01:13:50,750 --> 01:13:52,583
And my mantra is gratitude.

1200
01:13:52,667 --> 01:13:55,417
I really accept it
for what it is

1201
01:13:55,500 --> 01:13:58,834
and the limitations
that it has, and that's okay.

1202
01:13:58,917 --> 01:14:00,875
I actually feel I'm
still a whole person,

1203
01:14:00,959 --> 01:14:03,667
a valuable person.
That hasn't changed.

1204
01:14:03,750 --> 01:14:05,250
My value is equal.

1205
01:14:05,333 --> 01:14:08,083
I still believe that I can
walk. I still have hope.

1206
01:14:08,166 --> 01:14:10,917
So for me to accept it
means that I'm giving up

1207
01:14:11,000 --> 01:14:13,125
that hope to walk again.

1208
01:14:17,500 --> 01:14:18,750
I've learned to live with it.

1209
01:14:18,834 --> 01:14:21,125
I've learned to live
with my disability.

1210
01:14:24,542 --> 01:14:25,959
Every day is a challenge.

1211
01:14:26,041 --> 01:14:29,333
But no, I can't say
that I've accepted it.

1212
01:14:30,959 --> 01:14:33,667
I still have a 5% chance.

1213
01:14:40,250 --> 01:14:42,625
I try to be thankful

1214
01:14:42,709 --> 01:14:44,417
for what I do have,

1215
01:14:44,500 --> 01:14:46,625
and understand that

1216
01:14:46,709 --> 01:14:49,875
I did love my sport and
that's why I was doing it.

1217
01:14:54,083 --> 01:14:57,375
I just have a whole a different
outlook on what I feel

1218
01:14:57,458 --> 01:14:59,458
is important in life now.

1219
01:15:04,542 --> 01:15:06,792
Get that seven!

1220
01:15:06,875 --> 01:15:08,125
Announcer:
As we look to the top,

1221
01:15:08,208 --> 01:15:12,041
Cam Zink, a husband,
a father of two.

1222
01:15:12,125 --> 01:15:14,917
This is the steepest line
in the history of Rampage.

1223
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:18,667
A 63 degree angle slope
after he lands this
massive cliff drop,

1224
01:15:18,750 --> 01:15:20,750
and here he comes.

1225
01:15:26,417 --> 01:15:28,250
Zink over the edge!

1226
01:15:30,500 --> 01:15:32,041
There he is!

1227
01:15:32,125 --> 01:15:33,250
You did it, Zink!

1228
01:15:35,583 --> 01:15:38,417
Paul:
My life's not half as exciting
as it was, that's for sure.

1229
01:15:38,500 --> 01:15:40,667
I think I'm okay with it.
It's time to move forward,

1230
01:15:40,750 --> 01:15:42,208
move on.

1231
01:15:45,625 --> 01:15:47,208
Announcer:
Your eyes are not
deceiving you.

1232
01:15:47,291 --> 01:15:50,291
Paul Basagoitia, Paul Bass on
set. Paul, welcome my friend.

1233
01:15:50,375 --> 01:15:51,417
Good to see you guys.

1234
01:15:51,500 --> 01:15:54,125
Such hallowed grounds
behind us here.

1235
01:15:54,208 --> 01:15:55,959
It's hard to come
back sometimes.

1236
01:15:56,041 --> 01:15:57,792
Last year, it was really
hard for me to come back,

1237
01:15:57,875 --> 01:16:00,792
but this year,
it feels good to be back.

1238
01:16:01,917 --> 01:16:04,750
I have not accepted
my injury 100%,

1239
01:16:04,834 --> 01:16:08,291
but I do appreciate
where I'm at in life.

1240
01:16:09,709 --> 01:16:12,458
Last week, I was so upset that
I couldn't go wakeboarding

1241
01:16:12,542 --> 01:16:14,041
or wakeskating with
all my friends,

1242
01:16:14,125 --> 01:16:15,375
and I was just on the boat,

1243
01:16:15,458 --> 01:16:18,709
watching my friends
have a good time.

1244
01:16:18,792 --> 01:16:21,291
Something just clicked
in my brain. It was like,

1245
01:16:21,375 --> 01:16:24,625
well, at least I was
able to get in that boat.

1246
01:16:30,166 --> 01:16:32,959
I just put my hand
in the water...

1247
01:16:35,709 --> 01:16:37,375
feeling the temperature,

1248
01:16:38,291 --> 01:16:40,625
the texture,

1249
01:16:40,709 --> 01:16:44,041
and I feel a connection to
the people that can't do that.

1250
01:17:44,583 --> 01:17:47,250
Jesse:
Came up with an idea
about surfing again,

1251
01:17:47,333 --> 01:17:50,166
and made a surfboard where
I can lay down on my stomach,

1252
01:17:50,250 --> 01:17:51,667
and then...

1253
01:17:51,750 --> 01:17:55,291
they push me into a wave down at
Cardiff Reef in San Diego and...

1254
01:17:59,083 --> 01:18:00,709
Samantha:
I had rode
the Jet Ski by myself,

1255
01:18:00,792 --> 01:18:02,417
and that's where I felt my...

1256
01:18:02,500 --> 01:18:05,333
sense of normalness come back.

1257
01:18:05,417 --> 01:18:08,208
True feeling of
independence again.

1258
01:18:08,291 --> 01:18:10,375
Russel:
At first, I'd go out
to support groups

1259
01:18:10,458 --> 01:18:13,792
and talk with other injured
SCI patients, you know?

1260
01:18:13,875 --> 01:18:15,959
I like to go to
concerts, baseball games,

1261
01:18:16,041 --> 01:18:18,667
you know. I do more stuff
now than I did when I walked.

1262
01:18:18,750 --> 01:18:20,583
One thing for me was driving.

1263
01:18:20,667 --> 01:18:23,834
Put all the windows down,
feel the wind in your hair.

1264
01:18:23,917 --> 01:18:25,583
Hell yeah.

1265
01:18:25,667 --> 01:18:27,000
Patrick:
I love playing rugby.

1266
01:18:27,083 --> 01:18:29,125
I'm a quadriplegic, but I can...

1267
01:18:29,208 --> 01:18:31,625
absolutely wreck
someone's day

1268
01:18:31,709 --> 01:18:33,166
in my rugby chair.

1269
01:18:33,250 --> 01:18:35,542
I had no idea what I was doing,

1270
01:18:35,625 --> 01:18:38,375
calling all these girls.
"Hey, do you wanna dance?"

1271
01:18:38,458 --> 01:18:41,709
And they're like, sure?
In a wheelchair? Sure?

1272
01:18:42,041 --> 01:18:44,041
Five years later, it's...

1273
01:18:44,125 --> 01:18:46,834
a dance company I never
thought I could have.

1274
01:18:46,917 --> 01:18:49,083
I kicked off my music career.

1275
01:18:49,291 --> 01:18:52,375
I started riding a bicycle
again, but on my terms.

1276
01:18:52,458 --> 01:18:55,000
I would go ride to ride,

1277
01:18:55,083 --> 01:18:57,917
just pedal the damn thing.

1278
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,166
Cynthia:
I never thought that
I would be a human robot

1279
01:19:01,250 --> 01:19:03,458
back in the '80s when I
was watching Robocop.

1280
01:19:03,542 --> 01:19:05,375
And I was
like, oh my God!

1281
01:19:05,458 --> 01:19:08,333
You want me to show you?

1282
01:19:08,417 --> 01:19:10,417
It's amazing to
stand and to look at

1283
01:19:10,500 --> 01:19:12,667
your friends at eye level.

1284
01:19:13,959 --> 01:19:17,041
I make a big deal about it
because for so many years,

1285
01:19:17,125 --> 01:19:20,000
I've been used to people
kind of looking down on me.

1286
01:21:24,500 --> 01:21:26,125
Paul:
If you could take a pill

1287
01:21:26,208 --> 01:21:29,709
and wake up tomorrow morning
and be completely healed,

1288
01:21:29,792 --> 01:21:32,083
what's the first
thing you would do?

1289
01:21:40,083 --> 01:21:42,250
I don't know.

1290
01:21:44,458 --> 01:21:47,500
I don't wanna ruin the drama,
but I have no clue.

1291
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:51,375
The first thing I would
do is go to the beach.

1292
01:21:54,792 --> 01:21:57,250
Yep. It's crazy 'cause...

1293
01:21:58,250 --> 01:22:00,041
the last time I was at
the beach and I was able

1294
01:22:00,125 --> 01:22:02,417
to feel the sand
between my toes,

1295
01:22:02,500 --> 01:22:04,417
I remember walking
off and running back

1296
01:22:04,500 --> 01:22:05,875
just to feel it one more time.

1297
01:22:06,333 --> 01:22:09,667
The first thing I would think
to do and the first thing I'd...

1298
01:22:10,583 --> 01:22:14,709
try to do is just give my
mom a big hug, standing up...

1299
01:22:16,250 --> 01:22:19,500
'cause I've never
done that before.

1300
01:22:21,667 --> 01:22:23,959
I would run and never stop.

1301
01:22:25,166 --> 01:22:26,959
Just like...

1302
01:22:27,041 --> 01:22:29,208
just like Forrest Gump.

1303
01:22:29,917 --> 01:22:32,291
Have everybody run with me.

1304
01:22:32,375 --> 01:22:35,166
I'd run with my mom,
I'd run with my dad.

1305
01:22:36,375 --> 01:22:38,291
My brother.

1306
01:22:38,375 --> 01:22:40,500
I would run.
