Podcast appearances and mentions of Van Phillips

When sport enthusiast Van Phillips lost his foot in a water-skiing accident, he decided to design a prosthetic leg that allowed him to keep running.In 1984, he made the first prosthetic running leg using carbon graphite, which was light, flexible and strong.Rebecca Kesby spoke to Van Phillips, the inventor of the first carbon graphite prosthetic running leg.

We look at the lives of some of the most famous F1 drivers, tennis players and athletes as well as people who've had ground-breaking impact in their chosen sporting field, including: the most decorated Paralympian, the woman who was the number 1 squash player in the world for nine years, and the first figure skater to wear a hijab. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the tennis player who escaped the Nazis, how a man finally beat a horse in a race, and how the Fifa computer game was created.

Le monde animal a inspiré des inventions qui ont bouleversé le monde du sport. Julien te raconte comment Van Phillips, un Américain amputé d'une jambe après un accident, a réussi à courir à nouveau en se fabriquant une lame de course, recourbée comme les pattes arrière du guépard… Cet épisode a été réalisé en partenariat avec le ministère de l'Enseignement supérieur et de la Recherche dans le cadre de la fête de la Science 2023. Un grave accident… La lame de course, une prothèse qui permet aux personnes handicapées de courir presque aussi vite que les valides, a été inventée par l'Américain Van Phillips. Julien te raconte comment… En 1976, aux États-Unis, Van Phillips, un homme de 21 ans, fait du ski nautique lorsqu'un hors-bord le percute. Van Phillips s'en sort, mais il est très gravement blessé. Son pied n'a pas pu être sauvé et il a dû être amputé sous le genou. Le coup est très dur pour Van Phillips ! On lui fabrique une prothèse et un pied en caoutchouc dur. Avec ce pied artificiel, installé au bout de sa jambe articulée en plastique, il n'arrive pas à marcher naturellement et encore moins à courir. Il décide de trouver une technologie plus moderne.  La lame de course : une révolution pour les sportifs amputés !  Van Phillips se met à faire des essais. Il conçoit des plans et fabrique lui-même des prototypes de prothèses. Avec l'aide d'un ingénieur, il utilise de la fibre de carbone : c'est un matériau souple et robuste à la fois, capable de se plier sans se briser. La prothèse a la forme d'un “L” un peu arrondi. Elle se plie sous le poids du coureur à chaque fois que la lame touche le sol. À ce moment-là, les fibres de carbone emmagasinent l'énergie, puis se détendent d'un seul coup. Elles restituent l'énergie au coureur, ce qui l'aide à se propulser. Van Phillips teste son invention… Très vite il retrouve des sensations qu'il pensait ne jamais pouvoir revivre. L'invention est une véritable révolution pour les sportifs amputés. Lors des derniers Jeux Paralympiques, la plupart des athlètes handisport utilisaient la “lame guépard” ou la “lame de course” créée par Van Phillips.  C'est de la triche ?  En 2012, le Sud-Africain Oscar Pistorius, amputé des deux jambes, a même réussi à se qualifier pour les jeux olympiques “classiques”. Grâce à ses lames de course, il a disputé le 400 mètres aux côtés des athlètes valides, jusqu'aux demi-finales. Son histoire a soulevé de nombreuses questions, certains estimant que ses jambes artificielles lui ont donné un avantage sur les autres athlètes.  Ce n'est d'ailleurs pas la seule technologie inspirée du monde animal qui a bouleversé le monde du sport. Dans les années 2000 des combinaisons de natation imitant la peau de requin ont permis aux nageurs de battre tous les records de vitesse dans l'eau, avant d'être finalement interdites.  Une invention aussi utile pour la vie quotidienne  L'invention de la lame de course a permis aux personnes amputées de pouvoir faire du sport de haut niveau. Elle a aussi été adaptée pour la vie quotidienne. Mais ces prothèses en carbone coûtent cher. Van Phillips a donc créé une fondation pour fournir des prothèses adaptées aux enfants des pays pauvres. Il y travaille encore aujourd'hui…

We are back with another episode covering many of the trending topics such as the continued #BlackLivesMatter movement, celebrating LGBTQIA month. This week, we dive deeper into what is means to truly be a Black man in America, especially in the field of education with our guest, Van Phillips. He gets candidate on what it means to "refine the black man" and the many stereotypes we face on a day basis!

US Paralympic snowboarder Brittani Coury told us she is choosing "faith over fear" after swapping ski slopes for hospital wards. Coury has returned to nursing to help fight the COVID 19 coronavirus pandemic. The silver medallist from the 2018 Paralympics told us she isn't afraid for her safety and says her "heart breaks" for her patients. How long does it take an athlete to lose their competitive edge? That is a question we explore with the help of an Olympic Swimming Champion, a World Champion Boxer, a Netball player and a competitor from the World's Strongest Man as they all try to maintain their sharpness during the coronavirus lockdown. Sharon van Rouwendaal told us for every week she's out of the water it takes her two weeks to regain the fitness she has lost. She also explains how she's training with the use of a children's paddling pool and a bungee rope. We don't like Cricket - we love it. In the week that the English County Championship was due to start we speak to people in the game about the impact no cricket is having on the fans and players of the sport. This week's Sporting Witness tells the story of sports enthusiast Van Phillips and how when he lost his foot in a water-skiing accident, he decided to design a prosthetic leg that would allow him to keep running. He used carbon graphite which was light, flexible and strong. His invention revolutionised para-sports. And we pay tribute to Radomir Antic after the former Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona manager died at the age of 71 this week.

He tells Rebecca Kesby how he was determined to improve the clumsy prosthetic legs available in the 1980s, to allow amputees to feel the freedom of physical speed and strength again.

Ugh! I had to replace my "Black Legacy" playlist, originally meant for today's webcast (Sept. 3rd, 2011 2pm - 4pm @ www.killradio.org). Why? After the implosion of last week's CSC ("Beats, Breakbeats, Scratches and Bass"), I found the "Black Legacy" show to be as implosion-possible as the "BBSB" show was. Frakkin' heavy handed DJing if ya' ask me...and now I'm scared that I've lost my playlist-making powers. So fine, let's jump to my "Children's Show" with music that was a part of my youth as well as music made for children from the 40's - 70's. No way to misstep with kiddie music, right?!! Right?!! Answer ME!!! Many tracks played throughout today's show I was happy to find thanks to the magic of the Internet. Perfect examples are all the tracks by the Record Guild of America, Inc., that during the 1940's produced a number of children's music records on 45rpm. I was lucky enough to find them available in .mp3 format along with the original artwork. (Check out the link which proves I'm tellin' the truth). One of the tracks that I was practically raised on was "Frankenstein" by the Edgar Winter Group, as it was played (by my brother and I mostly) on my parents' jukebox growing up. Actually it was my Mom's jukebox, an anniversary present my Dad gave to her back in the early 70's. It looks just like the one linked and I just saw a similar one for sale at a vintage clothing store in Echo Park, although someone painted red paint all over what was originally silver metal and stained wood. Also Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov's Sheherezade was another track that I have my Mom to thank for. I can remember "The Young Prince and the Young Princess" being played while my family and I did housework and yardwork on the weekends. For that reason, this show is very much dedicated, with much love and affection, to my Mom and all the great music that she exposed me to growing up. 1.
