Intro
My name is David Coons (@_.onelegacy._). I am a right leg below knee amputee. I lost part of my leg on 01/21/17 due to a motorcycle accident. I had skated before my accident for years. It wasn’t until May 2019 when I finally got back into the sport. I tried to skate before and felt so discouraged not being able to do what I once loved the same way, but something had happened last May where that sensation had finally came back. I was just rolling around my local park with a buddy and decided to try boardslide a curb not actually expecting to be able to. Once I did, I had that spark, that internal feeling of satisfaction every skater gets when landing a trick for the first time. Ever since then, I’ve fallen back in love with skating and can’t wait to see my journeys and me and my board have ahead of us.
