8-7-08 // Video: Tara Llanes Pedals Again

Last summer former NORBA dual-slalom and downhill champion Tara Llanes crashed while competing at a Jeep King of the Mountain race in Colorado, breaking five vertebrae in her back. The accident left her paralyzed from the waist down, but she promised to walk again. Her recovery is progressing at an amazing rate. Watch her pedal an exercise bike is this video.
