Normally when Sam visits a beach, lake, or reservoir he needs to be carried in his wheelchair across the sand to a beach towel to protect the bearings of his everyday wheelchair from the sand.

He then sits there in his chair under a tent baking like a tomato while the rest of the group splashes and has fun in the water.

It’s one of the many things he is often left out of because of his disability. And one of the many things he can now participate in because of the Extreme Motus All Terrain Wheelchair.

This was the first time Sam and I used the Extreme Motus in the water. In Utah Reservoirs like this exist because of melting snow from the mountains.

So is Sam screaming with joy in this video?

Or screaming from the cold water filling the seat?

Probably a little of both. In this video the chair is being pushed by his older brother Nick. Sam loves spending time with Nick and doing something fun like playing in the water together is a cool moment for everyone.

When I first discovered the chair I thought, “Wow this is perfect for my friend Sam.” After a few adventures with the chair, I realized how life-changing it was not just for Sam but his entire circle of friends and family.

Sam no longer needs to plan a family trip around what is and isn’t wheelchair accessible. He can go just about anywhere.

This type of video filled with pure joy stood out in the early days of TikTok when everyone seemed to be copying each other’s dance moves. It received 1,000,000 views.
