Currently, Evan is ranked #1 in the World and Amy is ranked #1 in the U.S. and #2 in the World in their sport of Para-snowboard Boardercross. Boardercross is a race down a hill and through jumps, burms, and obstacles. Congratulations, Amy and Evan!!!
POA recently fit Paralympic and WSF Para-Snowboard World Cup Champion Evan Strong with a custom NPS vacuum socket. Before he left, we gave the prosthesis one final check. Stan and Mike were enlisted to lift him upside-down while clipped into his boots and snowboard – our version of an “inverted aerial.” A perfect example of the power of elevated vacuum! Evan was very pleased with the outcome and looks forward
