Amazing video (via Catherine) of a 15-year-old dude named Aaron Fotheringham who does insane (I think the current term is “sick”) things in a wheelchair. He’s got spina bifida, so no cracks about how he got in the chair in the first place!

Fearless is an understatement. At least he wears a helmet.
Have to admire anyone who lives life with no limits.
He’s just a kid! It looks like the chair is an organic part of him! Amazing. I like how they started out with his accidents then show him helping the little girl learn the ramps and things.
Although, I must say, I have a bad back and some of those bad landings near the beginning gave me psychosomatic twinges.
Nice choice of songs too.
ugghh no kidding about wincing at those accidents. That’s how I feel when I see Tamo wipe out in the halfpipe. Tho now that he’s seen this video, my yelling at him that he has to wear his helmet or he’ll end up in a wheelchair won’t work anymore. He’ll just say Cool. Life after snowboarding!
