ODART - Ontario Disabled Alpine Racing Team

Robert Scott, Racer

Married and a father of three very active boys, Rob survived a very serious car accident in 1984. The accident left him with a broken right leg and a below Knee amputee left leg. At the time of the accident I was told I may never walk again. Determined to return to the active lifestyle I knew before the accident I quickly adapted to my new ability! In the summer I enjoy golf, wake boarding, water skiing, baseball, swimming, biking, running and competing in Triathlons. In the winter I enjoy Snowboarding, skiing and have recently joined the Ontario Disabled Alpine Racing Team (ODART).
