91大黄鸭鈥檚 Bruce Cook made quite an impression on the judges and the audience on America鈥檚 Got Talent: Extreme on his appearance on the Mar. 7 episode.

The motocross biker earned the superfan vote to advance to the finale, where he had a chance to win $500,000.

The 34-year old has been paralyzed from the mid-section down since 2014 when he crashed attempting a double front flip.

Cook explained his story, which touched judges Simon Cowell and Nikka Bella. Former X-Games gold medalist Travis Pastrana was the third judge, but wasn鈥檛 allowed to vote as a friend of Cook鈥檚.

鈥淪poiler alert, I didn鈥檛 quite land that trick and wound up in a wheelchair,鈥� said Cook.

Cook, in a new dirtbike adjusted for him, rode up a ten-foot ramp and landed a backflip in front of the judges. It was his first time performing in any competition in front of an audience since his accident.

鈥淭hat was pretty incredible,鈥� said Cowell. 鈥淵our determination is really inspiring.鈥�

鈥淚鈥檓 so proud of you,鈥� added Pastrana.

鈥淛ust because you have a disability doesn鈥檛 mean you have to be on the sidelines, and you can be centre stage,鈥� said Cook.

Despite being backed by the judges, Cook didn鈥檛 advance to the finale because of the super-fan voting system the show has.
