Wheelchair Back Flip.

While exhibiting at Abilities Expo I heard loud clapping.   Aaron Fotheringham doing  different tricks on the ramp (inside the convention hall) using a wheelchair.  Here are some photos Of Aaron and from the show.

 

 

 

According to Wikipedia:

“Fotheringham has Spina Bifida; he has used a wheelchair since the age of three and although he used crutches early on, he has been in a wheelchair fulltime since the age of eight. He would watch his brother riding his BMX at the skate park and one day his brother told him that he should try riding his chair in the park. Aaron later noted that “I did, and I was hooked”

“Fotheringham got a new wheelchair, a Colours In Motion’s Boing! which was both lightweight and featured four wheel suspension. This enabled him to perform the same sorts of tricks that skateboarders and BMXers can do as the suspension cushioned his landings. Aaron has further worked with Colours Wheelchairs to help refine their designs in real-world situations, and has been given a custom-made chair that is in his words ‘pretty much indestructible”
