Bruce Cook never says never, as the 2017 Best of 麻豆精选 Best Male Athlete continues to overcome a tragic accident to soar, becoming the first person in the world to do a backflip on a motorcycle as a paraplegic.

The motorcross rider crashed his bike in 2014 while attempting to become the first person to land a double front flip on a motorcycle.
