For Alex Abbott, a winning dirt bike freestyle rider, the moment of truth came when his dirt bike landed on his head and broke his neck and became an incomplete quadriplegic. During the months he laid immobilized in hospital, the notion of ever getting back on his bike seemed so remote he barely gave it any real thought. But ten years later, with the help of friends and family, Alex is on the verge of finding his way back onto two wheels. 257 Down is a documentary film about patience, endurance and courage. It is a story that will inspire people of all abilities to follow their dreams, no matter how inaccessible they might seem.
