Many people have heard of the BMX rider missing a part of his hip and throwing double flips. That ride would be Dan “Nemo” Butler AKA Disabled Dan. His story is inspiring, to see the drive that he has to keep pushing bmx and himself, is absolutely amazing! Dan rides for Nowear BMX and you can occasionally catch a session with him at their free indoor compound.
Disabled Dan Butler is a freestyle BMX rider who is inspiring the world using a 20″ BMX bike; all with just one hip joint. After a bout with sepsis as a young teenager, Dan spent 3 years in the hospital, went through 28 operations, and in the process lost his right hip joint. Even through all of the adversity he faces in life, Dan presses on with his mission to inspire. – Brant
