Ceci est difficile à écrire et à parler à haute voix, parce qu'elle la langue russe, pour une raison quelconque n'est pas préparé pour une discussion tranquille de tels problèmes. Tous les mots relatifs à l'amputation, les prothèses et autres handicaps, son grossier et artificiel, nous avons pris sur des questions telles rester silencieux. Cerveau américaine un peu différent - Danielle dit calmement ce qui lui est arrivé et comment elle fait face à ce problème. Par ailleurs, elle veut même pas en parler pour montrer aux gens que même avec une telle blessure grave, une personne peut avoir une vie complètement pleine et heureuse.

She continues to surf Tell us why you have dentures?
About six years ago, I got in a motorcycle accident and lost a leg.

How long do you go for a surf?
About two years.

That is, you start to skate now without legs. It was difficult?
Yes, the main problem was to invent a prosthesis that he allowed to ride. My prosthesis was first artificial knee, but now it was not necessary. We spent a lot of time in water, to understand how to be arranged artificial leg, and, finally, we made it!

How do you generally had the idea to start riding?
I grew up in New Jersey on the ocean, and I simply love the wave. After the accident I could not even go into the water, and I was very upset - I wanted a normal prosthesis to at least begin to swim.

But why did you start riding so late, after all surfers ride from early childhood?
I did not have enough money to buy myself a serious board and really ride the waves, so I settled for bodibordom. Yes, before the accident, I skied on bodiborde.

How much do you know people who ride on the surf with a prosthetic leg?
I have no knees, and I know a surfer with the same injury - he lives in Brazil and very good rolls.

What other sports do you do?
In addition to surfing, I still ride on a skateboard, snowboarding, doing swimming - I generally enjoyed sports.

Do you feel that you've been given with great difficulty than others?
Yes, but this should just get used to. For example, when you ride the surf, you have to do a certain number of movements to jump on board. I have to make more steps, because I do not feel his leg, but it's just a matter of training.

How do people react when they see that you ride a surf?
I think my efforts and my skating inspire people to something new, give them to understand that they are capable of more. In particular, people devoid of feet or hands, realize that they are not so limited, as they think.
