James Powell A man on a mission
At 26, North-Brisbane Aircraft Reliability Officer James Powell is a bloke who doesn’t mind a challenge.
Q: Hi James. What’s your injury?
A: I am classified as a T10 Paraplegic, meaning I’m paralysed from the belly button down due to severe spinal chord damage sustained in a road bike accident four years ago.
Q: What made you choose to ride a quad? Why not drive speedway cars or maybe karts?
A: I’ve only ever known and ridden motorcycles my whole life. A quad bike seemed the only logical alternative to give me the same freedom and experience, still allowing me to be part of the biker community. After having my accident on the road, I felt returning to the dirt was the best and safest option.
