Fresh Tracks - The Story of a War Hero, Innovator and Adaptive Skiing Pioneer on an Historic Journey to Create a Movement (2019)

This true-life documentary follows the journey of Paul Leimkuehler, who lost his leg during the Battle of the Bulge in WWII, and turned his amputation into an opportunity by building his own artificial leg and opening a prosthetic business. He returns to the world of sports triumphantly after designing the first pair of ski outriggers in the U.S. launching the adaptive skiing movement that earned him a spot in the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Hall of Fame, the U.S. Disabled Snow Sports Hall of Fame and the Ohio Veterans Hall of Fame. The film follows the influence of his legacy on the Paralympic skiers and snowboarders today including gold medalists, Mike Schultz and Andrew Kurka, and the evolving of technology in adaptive sports.
