Friday Find – Aaron ‘Wheelz’ Fotheringham destroys London’s skateparks – in a wheelchair!

3 comments 11:49AM Fri, 31st August 2012

Here’s a topical video for this week’s non-snowboard related Friday Find. Aaron ‘Wheelz’ Fotheringham suffers from Spina Bifida and has been in a wheelchair since he was three years old. Aaron was spurred on by his BMX-riding brother to give it a go in his wheelchair – why not eh? Since then he’s gone on to stomp tricks such as this mental double backflip (how brutal are those slams?) on his custom built ‘pretty much indestructible’ wheelchair.

Clearly, the dude absolutely rips! I mean, can you imagine ollieing Southbank 7 onto your backside? We wonder if we’ll ever end up seeing anything like this at the Paralympics, or even the X-Games – although something tells me that there probably aren’t too many people in the world that have balls big enough to even attempt half of what this guy does. Major, major respect. What is it with guys called  Aaron having massive cahoonas?
