My name is Brock Leitner. I was injured June 12th 2022 and am now a T6 complete paraplegic. My life before injury consisted of racing Motocross and supercross all over Canada and the USA. I started riding a dirtbike at 3.5 years old and racing when I was 4. Along with racing motocross professionally I was also a very avid golfer. I was and still am a very athletic guy. My life revolved around sports and I was not going to let my injury change that.
