Aaron ‘Wheelz’ Fotheringham Talks About Hitting Skateparks and Doing Insane Wheelchair Tricks

On an amazing episode of Great Big Story, talented extreme athlete Aaron “Wheelz” Fotheringham talks about how he doesn’t let his disability get in his way at all when he hits skateparks and pulls off all sorts of insane wheelchair tricks.

As one of the pioneering forces behind wheelchair motocross, or WCMX, Aaron is taking the sport to new heights—literally. In 2008, he achieved the Guinness World Record for becoming the first athlete to perform a back flip on a wheelchair.
