Wheelchair backflip is wheelie hard
A daredevil teen has taught himself to do amazing stunts and backflips ... in his wheelchair.
Aaron Fotheringham, or 'Wheels' as his mates call him, was not going to let a little thing like Spina Bifada stop him carving it up on the skatepark.
The 16-year-old, who has been in a chair since he was three, learnt to do a backflip two years ago.
Since then he has improved his technique and uses a £5,500 special reinforced aluminium wheelchair to help him get maximum air - my gran has the same one.
Aaron invented the sport "hardcore sitting" where he uses his wheelchair to do stunts normally associated with skateboards or BMX bikes.
He now gets paid to perform his stunts all over the world and recently had his feat accepted by the World Records Academy.
