Attila has been training so he can 'Officially' break the 24-hour hand cycling world record and our documentary documents his journey every step of the way.
My name is Attila Domos. I am a paraplegic athlete, musician, and unofficial world record holder. In 1993, I had a falling accident and became a T11/T12 paraplegic, losing my ability to walk. I was determined to prevent my injury from redefining my life. I started taking steps to continue my dream of being an athlete at first through power lifting, and now through endurance hand cycling. In August of 2016, I broke the 24-hour Hand cycling World Record by riding 407.7 miles in 24 hours. However, it happened at my local track in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, without any official representation. As a result, my record is unofficial. The next step in my journey is to make an official attempt at the 24-hour record.
Attila Domos resides in Pittsburgh. He will be seeking a course record for the world record at the World 24-Hour Cycling Championship (open to hand-cycles). One race was the Cycling Championship competition in Borrego Springs California and held by the Race Across America Marathon (RAAM) organization founded in 1982.
As a competitor, Attila won his first race the same year he began to compete; The Pittsburgh Marathon; winning by eleven (11) minutes. Since then, Attila has been training so he can compete with other world class athletes in various races around the United States. In fact, in 2016, Attila "unofficially" broke the 24-hour hand cycling world record on a track here in Pittsburgh.
Attila's training and participation in marathon racing demonstrates the ability of disabled people to perform and excel. His achievements motivate others (not only the disabled) to rise above their limitations and to persevere through the grueling physical and mental strain faced in marathon racing. He also sheds a positive light on Pittsburgh and Disabled Community, which includes those serving the disabled and those who rise above their mental and physical limitations.
Attila serves others through his motivational songs-music that he writes, sings, plays and records. His albums are available on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon music, Apple Music and Google Play. He also is embarking upon a full-length movie and live web-cast that will document past, current and futures achievements.
As you can see, there was a wonderful opportunity to put together a quality documentary about a young man who, despite facing life-long obstacles, uses what physical abilities he has available to be a winner and a role model for hand cyclists and many others around the world.
