Feeling confident about your wheel stand skills? Let’s start doing gutter charges!
Gutter charges in a manual wheelchair take time and practice. To perfect this skill, you will need to consider speed, strength and momentum.
In this video Jason discusses:
- Practicing in a safe area and picking up enough speed to get up the gutter
- Practice first on a rounded off gutter
- Keep strong wheeling up the gutter and lift yourself up to help with momentum
