Gidday folks, I am so excited to announce my upcoming travels for training and racing. After conversations w my Brazilian snow federation and coach, we set a plan and we are sticking to it —full force! This year I’ll be missing the Finland race, because of work. That’s a very important one because of excellent training camps before & after, on the race course. I will at least get to do the camp after the race, and hopefully see some auroras, fingers crossed! After...
Hello everyone! I am Greg Tyler and I am new to the PossAbilities Paralympic Training Program. I started my career in Triathlon in 2010 after a motorcycle wreck crushed my left side, causing me to lose my left arm at the shoulder and paralyzing my left leg. I broke 15 bones, punctured and collapsed both lungs, severed 2 arteries, and died twice. Initially I started just doing whatever I could for rehab, the only thing that wasn't damaged was my...
It has been a mostly great start to the 2025 racing season! I took 3rd in the time trial in Australia at the first world cup of the year. I took 4th in the road race as well. A 2nd and 3rd was very much within my ability but I was feeling sluggish while down under when it came to producing sustained power. It was very warm down there on one day of racing but grateful they started my...
It's January and this 2024 season is getting started a little sooner than most years. For the first time since I've been racing at world cups the race was held in hot and sunny Adelaide Australia in the peak of the summer. Usually world cups don't start until April so having one this early was out of the normal race calender. One thing that made this a tough trip from the...
Greetings and happy 2024, may it be an excellent one to all of us! There’s been great talk of an El Niño this season, which (sometimes) translates to a lot of rain, snow, and surf. Meaning, when there’s an El Niño I always get über excited!! The early season started with a bang on the surf side, there were so many good days of waves, I felt like I was on a surf trip but sleeping on my own bed! Those who know...
Hi, and welcome to my post which is a few days late. I wanted to title this post 29 years later because the anniversary of the auto accident I was involved in was just a few days ago on November 27th. I honestly did not even remember the day was here. The first couple years post injury I was just hoping that day would bring a miracle. Well, I knew I was the one who was going to have to...
Hello guys, I’d like to share good news today; the races in the indoor “ice box” in Landgraaf, Holland, went extremely well and I collected two gold medals!! Super pumped, I surprised myself w the fact, but also would like to share the details on that. Because last season I ended up only doing one race (which I didn’t do well), I lost most of my points and downgraded to the “entry level” race —the European Cup of Banked Slalom (and not...
Hi friends, I’m here training in the Netherlands at this state of the art compound with an indoor ski facility where they built a beautiful banked slalom course. It’s pretty awesome, you’re wearing shorts one minute, next you suit up and get inside this “freezer box.” Super grateful to be here, it’s my 3rd time, and I was thinking I’ve come a long way in snowboarding. I never needed to prove anything to anyone, but since I had my accident, I’ve been...
The 2023 paracycling world championships was held in Glasgow Scotland and I was excited to be able to compete in my second world championships wearing my countries colors. My first time competing for Team USA was 2021 in Portugal. Unlike my first time in Portugal I am was in much better shape and a different classification. Upon arriving in Scotland I noticed the weather was actually better than I imagined it...
It's the day before Halloween here in AZ where it is in the 80's still for day high's and the 50's for low's. The weather is perfect! It is time to get back outside on the racing bike. I have been strength training and riding my ebike outside since the last week of August. I'll ride an hour to hour and a half with occasional intervals. Getting out on my ebike is nice and a change. Teaching has been keeping...
