With roots in the 70s and 80s, growth in the 90s, and explosion in the new century, action (extreme) sports have come a long way in popularity. The worldwide popularity of the X-Games and inclusion of some sports in the Olympics prove that. Action sports athlete Mike Schultz caught onto that popularity and became a professional. But then during a snowmobile race in 2008 an accident both crushed and mangled his knee. This led to the amputation of his lower leg. Wanting to get back into action sports he tried some prosthetics but was left unsatisfied with the results. Which led him to desgin his own. The result was an action sports lower leg prosthetic called Moto Knee and a company named Biodapt.
