Maybe he should concentrate on his school work as much as skateboarding.

Check out the videoclip featuring Bill Shannon. I'm not sure if I would call it cheating, but it's definitely very cool!(Be sure to read the info) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZmgZN1umsM He’s not the only one doing this.

So yes, he is cheating. while its cool he is active while paralyzed, all he does amounts to using his arms to keep balance, which is the difficult part of skateboarding. So yes, he is cheating.

There is such a think as having partial paralysis. Really??? calling him a liar, Jimmy? You really sound like an ignorant jerk. Nobody said he was completely paralyzed.

That's what it looks like to me, anyways. If you watch it closely you can tell he moves the board around by placing his back foot on the very edge and just placing all his body weight on it.

I feel sorry for him having some sort of illness, but that does not excuse him for being a liar. The kid is clearly not paralyzed from the waist down from the waist down.

Im not sure that its a great idea to post your home phone number and address on YouTube. It seems like an email address and maybe a cell phone number would suffice. Good stuff.
