I love throwing around a frisbee with friends and many years ago when I mistakenly thought running was fun I played a lot of Ultimate Frisbee.

When Sam and I decided to take his all-terrain wheelchair to try Disc Golf would be easy because I’m pretty accurate with a Frisbee.

I was wrong.

Disc Golf Isn’t Frisbee

When Sam and I took his Extreme Motus all-terrain Wheelchair to the Spanish Fork Disc Golf course I had a big surprise the first time I tried to throw the smaller disc.

It banked hard to the right and hit the ground very quickly. Sam let me know the problem was I, “Throw like a girl.”

The Spanish Fork course was perfect for our all-terrain wheelchair. This isn’t a nicely manicured course with rolling grass hills. We had to roll over rocks, gravel, dirt, logs, and through the weeds to make it from the to the goal. While chasing down poorly thrown disks that I rained down all over the course.

It Didn’t Get Easier

I’d like to say that I got better as Sam and I wheeled our all-terrain wheelchair way around the course but I didn’t. Sam and I will need a lot more practice before we can compete at the professional level we aspire to.

While we didn’t have much luck playing disc golf we did have fun making this video and goofing around together. And that is what all this is really about. We have been able to make so many different activities inclusive because of the Extreme Motus all-terrain wheelchair. It doesn’t matter if we fail as something the point is we got to experience something new together.
