Disabled Dan – One Hip BMX Rider Inspiring The World

November 16, 2022

Dan Butler doesn’t let his disability slow him down!

We’ve seen quite a few riders that are riding at an exceptional level despite having a disability that would keep most people from being able to do most things. However, some people just have the drive and motivation to not let their disability keep them from doing what they enjoy. Dan Butler A.K.A Disabled Dan is one of those riders that has not let his lack of a hip joint keep him from throwing down some incredible riding! Here’s a video Brant Moore put together where Dan tells his story, along with some insights from guys like Karl Hinkley to tell just what kind of a person Dan is. Hit play because this is a super good watch and definitely a dude who needs to be on your radar!

“Disabled Dan Butler is a freestyle BMX rider who is inspiring the world using a 20″ BMX bike; all with just one hip joint.

After a bout with sepsis as a young teenager, Dan spent 3 years in the hospital, went through 28 operations, and in the process lost his right hip joint. Even through all of the adversity he faces in life, Dan presses on with his mission to inspire.

Hip-less Para BMX Rider Dan “Nemo” Butler

August 16, 2016

It’s pretty amazing how many riders there are around the world that despite having the odds against them, they’re out there riding BMX! Today we stumbled across this video featuring Dan “Nemo” Butler who lost his hip joint due to infections. That problem has left one of his legs shorter than the other. But, thanks to some different crank sizes, he’s able to ride without too many problems. Above is a video giving us a little insight into his story along with a ton of really good riding from skateparks and trails spots over in the UK. It’s pretty crazy how something small like a cut can lead to bigger problems.
