Feel free to add Taylor Morris to our selective list of remarkable people. The young man you’re about to watch drift a MazdaSpeed6 sedan (also known as the Mazda6 MPS in other markets around the world) on the snow is a quadruple amputee with replacements for his lost parts.
Morris, who lost his limbs while serving in Afghanistan, along with his buddies, made this video to capture the attention of professional driver Ken Block as he wishes to ride with him in a race car.
Here’s what his friends wrote on the video’s description on YouTube:
“This is a video of Taylor Morris, the 5th surviving Quad Amputee who served over in Afghanistan as a Navy EOD petty officer. Taylor was injured almost 8 months ago and this was his first time driving an unmodified vehicle since his injury. Taylor goes all the way!!! We made this to showcase how far Taylor has come since May 3rd, 2012… Taylor’s dream is to ride shotgun with Ken Block. Let’s make that dream become a reality! Tweet him this video and tell him to check out Taylor! Maybe he’ll give him a ride! #TaylorRideWithKen”
