Our Story in 30 Seconds
A retired Provo firefighter named Dale Pitts built the first all-terrain chair for a young crash survivor he helped rescue. CEO Adam Beesley discovered the chair in the corner of a machine shop and founded Extreme Motus in 2018 to bring it to the world. Lifelong best friends Ryan Grassley and Sam Durst — who has cerebral palsy — have since taken the chair up mountains, through rivers, and into skateparks, sharing their adventures with hundreds of millions of viewers and proving that freedom shouldn’t stop where the pavement ends.

Ryan Grassley
Runs the Extreme Motus channels (400K+ TikTok followers, 300M+ views in 2025) and has logged thousands of trail miles pushing his best friend of 30+ years. Can speak to adaptive recreation, accessibility in parks, and building an audience around disability joy rather than pity.
Sam Durst
Born with cerebral palsy, Sam has summited trails, floated rivers, and dropped into skateparks in the Motus. He advocates for all-terrain wheelchair access at state and national parks — including taking the chair to Utah’s Capitol.
Adam Beesley
An accountant who found the original chair gathering dust in a machine shop and turned it into a company in 2018. Adam speaks to the business of adaptive equipment, manufacturing in Utah, and the legislative win that reclassified adaptive equipment so grant funds could purchase it.
