This video is a short film about Joe Stone produced by Joe and a team of his friends. In August of 2010, Joe was in a speed flying accident that left him an incomplete C7 quadriplegic. “Even though life is very different now, I have been determined to get my outdoor lifestyle back. This past summer I carried my GoPro HeroHD camera with me while I pushed myself in the outdoors again. This video has white water rafting, fly-fishing, off road hand cycling, road hand cycling, and some freewheel action. All of this footage came from both Minnesota and Montana”.

This video was first premiered in the 2012 G-Technology Driven Creativity Competition, and won first place in the GoPro Adventure category. To learn more about Joe Stone’s story, and his goals for the upcoming IRONMAN Florida Triathlon.
