Limbs of Steel

Will Craig, a single-arm amputee and Vancouver-based doctor, paired his knowledge of the human body with his passion for mountain biking to create the first technical riding arm for his sport. The system consists of three components: an arm, hand, and tool bracket that function as a complete natural limb. Made from titanium alloy, the ARM can flex, extend, rotate, and adjust to varying angles depending on the rider´s incline. Craig´s patented Fox Racing Shox compression elbow absorbs jolts as a natural elbow would, minimizing impact to the shoulder. The tool bracket acts like human fingers to securely clamp down on the handle bars. With this system, Craig is able to ride Vancouver´s most technical trails, carving turns, jumping, and even launching with precision and control otherwise unattainable. (prostheticarm.com)
