Wheelchair Freestylin'
The latest extreme sports video from Devin Supertramp features Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham, a "Professional Hardcore Sitter," as he calls it. Watch him tackle vertigo-inducing (for you) inclines and new stunts that sometimes end up in falls -all part of the job when you do this at the elite level.
Fotheringham was featured previously at Neatorama when he achieved the world's first double backflip in a wheelchair. That video might make you dizzy, too.

As an aside, Aaron's dad (Steve) was my high school seminary teacher, and all around great guy. Knowing Steve, it's no wonder Aaron is the way he is.

According to the bio at his site, Fotheringham has spina bifida and did walk when he was young, using crutches and not well. He's not paralyzed, just disabled.

Interested to know exactly what his disability level is. My father was a quadriplegic and he had *no mobility* of his legs at all. Here we can see Aaron moving his legs (when dragging himself up the stairs) a bit by clenching at the waist. My dad couldn't do that.
