Mike Schultz
Mike Schultz has been a competitive athlete for the majority of his life. In 2008, he was in a snocross race when he flew off the snowmobile and suffered a severe compound fracture to his knee. Ultimately, his leg had to be amputated. Mike was definitely not going to let the injury hold him back. Instead, he designed his own prosthetic knee which actually has a patented linkage system and a mountain bike shock. Soon, he won an adaptive motocross silver medal at the X-Games. Mike felt as though prosthetics for adaptive sports needed to improve so he founded BioDapt Inc in 2010 which has made his prosthetic knee (the Moto Knee) available to other amputees around the world. Mike as also taken the gold medal at the X Games and the Winter X Games. In 2010, he was inducted into the Athletes with Disabilities Network Hall of Fame in the U.S. in 2010. In 2017, he won a bronze medal in banked slalom at the World Championships and is definitely one to watch at Pyeongchang.
