Extractions: Eagle-Tribune Writer METHUEN Ready to feel like you don't have any excuse for not getting the most out of your life? Meet Erik D. Corbett, who 23 months ago was in a car accident that left him a paraplegic in a wheelchair. Erik Corbett, who lost the use of his legs after a devastating car accident almost two years ago, has not allowed his injuries to stop him from being an active athlete. Here he is shown getting into his three-wheeled bike. Here is a list of the sports he has participated in since then: mountain biking; water-skiing; snow skiing; lacrosse; basketball; road racing, including a marathon; scuba diving; lacrosse; hockey; rugby; racquetball; crew; golf. "I got bored," the 22-year-old Corbett said, sitting in the kitchen of his parents' house in Methuen. "Before last summer, I was pretty unhappy. But I got bored, called and got one of those mountain chairs. I went riding." The trip, with ski instructor, action junkie and fellow paraplegic Jeff Krill, energized Corbett. Since then, his injury has not prevented him from an active make that hyperactive lifestyle. On Sunday, Corbett will take part in his second marathon in five months, in Orlando, Fla.

Extractions: Go huge! IT'S 7: 30 a.m. The cross-country racers are the sport's squares: deadly serious, watch-every-calorie, Lance Armstrong types, focused obsessively on heart rates and pedaling cadence. Battling the thin mountain air and dozens of other riders in lung-busting 36-mile races, complete with thousands of feet of climbing, cross-countryers have no choice but to be in impeccable physical condition. The downhillers battle one another in two race formats loosely modeled on alpine skiing. Tonight, Friday, July 28, the dual slalom will go off, riders weaving around ski slope-style gates as they charge head-to-head over a jump-infested tenth-of-a-mile track. On Sunday racers will combat the clock as they race solo over a treacherous rock-strewn course that will send them plummeting 1,500 vertical feet in a mile and a half. In this sport, winning is part survival: 1 out of 10 pros at the last race didn't finish, owing to either crashing or equipment failure. The crop-topped blond yanks off his goggles and full-face helmet and catches his breath. Then Kohut throws a rope to a guy waiting on a sputtering four-wheeled motorcycle and gets a tow back up to the starting line.

But she's always bravely cast her net into the sports world, riding a two-wheeler when she was five years old, leaping straight from tricycle to bicycle without the comfort of training wheels. She played hockey with a boys' peewee team before the girls formed a league of their own. She takes great delight in swooshing down a mountain on a snowboard.

Extractions: Photo Gallery Results Competitors with everything from mountain bikes to wheelchairs came to Nepal for this years Siemens Action Asia Himalayan Mountain Bike Series, a 3-day stage event Nov 22nd-25th circling the Kathmandu valley surrounded by snow-capped peaks. To keep with the event's tradition a street parade through Thamel, Kathmandu took place the day before the event itself got underway. More than 150 mountain bikers, wheelchair and disabled competitors biked or walked while VIPS including the head of the Nepal Olympic committee, Government and Tourism Board officials to Embassy officials rode in rickshaws in front of thousands lining the streets. "It made me realize why I love racing so much. A beautiful course with fantastic support...it was an incredible scene." International riders from Germany, Austria, Hong Kong, Malaysia and other western countries probably gained in confidence seeing the local Nepalese riders with outdated bikes without lycra padded shorts and all the nice gear that goes along with riding. That confidence soon evaporated at next day's start when local riders quickly set the pace with German Werner Wagner, Europe's winner of the famous Trans Alp race and Austrian Martin Hornegger. Any thoughts of the local Nepalese riders being slow was a myth as they were acclimatized to the Himalayas from birth, many being mountain bike guides riding up to 7 days a week.
