    Good work Johnno.
    Keep at it!!!!
    If anybody can help Johnno with this project Im sure it will be much appreciated.
    When Johnno is ready to compete he will be the first paraplegic in Australia(to his knowledge) to compete in rock crawling.
    If anybody has contacts that they feel may be able to help Johnno please help out.
    Thanks
