Do you know if James the double hook guy is still posting videos?

Thanks steve

Yeah, irregularly but there’s a new one on his youtube site. Search for ‘pretzelzcollie’ and you’ll find it.

T R A I L M A N

New fiction from the imagination of strzeka. The increasingly familiar desire to experiment with prosthetic limbs as traditional lifestyles are made redundant thanks to technological advancements is at the root of this tale of two happy-go-lucky friends who gradually acquire ever more demanding artificial arms. Because they can.

Taster:

Callum pushed his shag across to David who first attempted to reorient his pipe so he could pick it up. The elbow joints, absent from Callum’s prostheses, prevented easy motion. David lifted his upper arms and twisted his body in order to allow his hooks access to the sac of tobacco. Callum watched him closely, not only because of the novelty of seeing David with hooks instead of hands but also because the prostheses were so different from those available nationally. He could see that despite the primitive design, they had been made with skill and pride in workmanship. Except for the restrictive elbow joints, he could imagine himself using a similar pair, perhaps not as his regular pair but as something exotic at the weekends or on a country walk on a sunny day. How passers‑by would stare!

You asked if braces are heavy. The ones I wear are. They're steel and leather and each one weighs about 1.75kg without footwear. That's where you can easily add on another kilo or two to each leg. I like wearing thick soled rigid boots like mountaineers use. They're really weighty! But if your legs are basically healthy, the weight of the braces doesn't make much difference.

The modern moulded polypropylene braces are rubbish and don't weigh anything. Keep away from them if you want to feel crippled.

The Man Who Fell From Grace With His Body

A new story by strzeka just in time for May. Not only professional sportsmen feel pride in their physical prowess. Quadruple amputees with a full collection of artificial limbs do, too.

A sample:

It was an unimagined nirvana of limblessness, stumps fitted with primitive replacement limbs when possible. A leg stump, annoyingly on the wrong side of his body, and useless arm stumps converted into crutches. All his equipment was expertly customised to fit his stumps perfectly. They were all comfortable. Joe assisted with donning and doffing. He could relax into perfect limblessness, presenting himself in public as a monstrous example of disability. Army veterans missing limbs would pity him as Jennings swung past them silently on his three ferrules.
