After a motorcycle crash, motorbike accident compensation may be used for many things, such as living expenses, to pay for treatment, to purchase suitable accommodation, or you may wish to purchase a custom made mountain bike such as the one used by the founder of Rough Riderz, a mountain biking club for wheelchair users.
Phil Hall broke his back in a motorbike accident in 2007, but has always enjoyed the thrill associated with high speeds, and consequently, through Rough Riderz, started a campaign to adapt Forestry commission mountain bike trails so that disabled riders could be encouraged into the sport of four-cross (not to be confused with 4X racing which is for four two-wheeled cycles).
In September 2009, he told The Guardian, "We've been working with the Forestry commission in Scotland and north England for two years and giving them feedback on trails. It doesn't usually take much to adapt them."
Phil's bike was made for him in Canada. It has two 20inch BMX wheels on the front and a pair of larger 26 inch wheels on the back, with disc brakes and suspension as would be found on a two-wheeled model.
At a cost of £6,000 and one of only four such bikes in the country at the time, the sport of four-cross is quite a specialised endeavour. But Phil is determined to get better adapted trails created for the four-wheel bikes in the UK.
He said, "I was a motorbike rider before my accident, I love going fast. I went to the USA and tried the sport of four-cross there. It's so much more established there that disabled riders race with able-bodied riders.
"There are very few sports that offer this level of adrenalin and danger to wheelchair users."
