If you look at wrestling when I started to get my big break back in 1992, I changed wrestling from the cartoons of Hulk Hogan and Iron Sheik and the matches with the leg drop and the hand behind the ear and the playing to the crowd. They were just cartoon characters if you ask me.
In basketball, the legs are the most important part of your body. A lot of people think it’s the upper body because you shoot with your arms, but your legs are always carrying you, so if you don’t lift leg weights, your muscles will be easily fatigued.
As far as I’m concerned, I own my dogs as I own my body. My legs are with me when I take a shower, and I feel no shame. If I were to lose one, I’d grieve, and people would send sympathy cards, but it would be my condition that evoked the sympathy, not the fate of the leg. That’s like losing a dog.
LACMA has the imprimatur of art, and that’s a big leg up.
I ended up winning a silver medal at the Summer X Games Adaptive Supercross seven months after my injury – on a leg that I built.

My stories run up and bite me on the leg – I respond by writing down everything that goes on during the bite. When I finish, the idea lets go and runs off.
The Triple Crown was a tough beat, but by the time you get to the last leg of the Triple Crown, you just want it to be over.
