Why not have a go at pulling a truck! lol This guy is attempting to make a new world record on truck pulling!

Covington athlete Michael Mills loves challenges that some may think impossible for a man who is paralyzed below the waist. He’s already known locally for competing in extreme obstacle-course races.
Now he wants to set a new Guinness World Record by pulling a 5,000-pound SUV the distance of a football field—while in his wheelchair.

Impressive??

Not clear to me...but either way, a worthy cause that he is helping!

wavewolf I never realized that until you brought it up just now. I thought he was pushing his chair while pulling the pickup but it appears that he's pulling on another rope. I have no idea what's going on!

EDIT: Nevermind, question answered!

Pretty impressive
