Inspirational and very powerful short movie from BirdsEyeOptics. Sometimes a man in his life can encounter situations that are very difficult and hopeless. And it seems that there are no decisions. No hope. No way out. But sometimes you can create your own resources from these situations. So did the hero of this story – Jake O’Connor and his company ReActive Adaptations . He couldn’t get into the backcountry with his wheelchair so he created a off-road handcycle. And now on his free time Jake can enjoy his passion to fly fish in the backcountry. Moreover Jake’s invention helps many other people, for whom walking is difficult or impossibl, to feel the unity with nature once again. This off-road handcycle grant them with feelings of independence and freedom.
