Kurt Yaeger:
Video

The story of Kurt Yaeger and his courage to get back on a BMX bike following a horrific motorcycle accident in 2006 is a story we’ve [ESPN] featured previously in this very blog. Following the accident, Yaeger’s left leg was amputated below the calf. But Kurt defied all odds and returned to riding, relearning tricks, working on new technologies to facilitate his riding and riding in the X Games.
