Much of the prosthetic technology that extreme athletes use is fairly new, and many recent advances in adaptive snowboarding came from Mike Schultz.
Schultz was a professional snowmobile racer until 2008, when he sustained an injury during competition and had to have his leg amputated. When he returned to snowmobiling, he realized the available prosthetics were just too limiting. “So the wheels started turning, and I decided to design my own knee,” he said.
