Arly Velasquez is a Paralympian who represents Mexico at the 2010 Winter Paralympics along with teammate Armando Ruiz. Velasquez broke his back in a mountain biking accident in 2001. After trying many wheelchair supports such as shot put wheelchair basketball and tennis he discovered the sport of mono-skiing. Mono-skiing is similar to skiing for able-bodied however athletes sit on a single ski with crutch-like ski poles using their hips to make turns.
