Giusti
Marin motocross rider
M.O.B. mountain biker
San Anselmo, Marin County, California
"He
worked himself hard to heal so quickly. What's amazing is how rapidly
he progressed…what an incredibly positive attitude he had.
He
was open-minded to try different alternative medicines yet being
cautious at the same time…not trying to walk, not using pain killers
or drugs and never complaining about pain. Just commenting on how
small his legs were getting, and how much he would like a date…
I
took him to physical therapy three times a week. It was always a
chore getting him down the stairs. We would tip the wheelchair on
its back wheels and slowly roll him down the stairs. Which is fine
'till we got to the 90 degree turn at the landing. We'd tip it all
the way back 'till both his legs were straight up, lean onto the
inside wheel and drop and turn at the same time. Later, he would
support his own weight and shimmy himself down on the railing.
What
stands out about Myles is how humble he is as a person. Other people
at his level are happy to have that I'm-the-man persona, which is
actually a facade to hide insecurities. Myles never plays up on
how good he is."
