Paraxtreme is quickly becoming the new extreme sport for those with disabilities to showcase their skills, and Aaron Fotheringham aka 'Wheelz,' is dominating the skate parks in his wheelchair.
This incredible video showcases Aaron riding around various skate parks and performing some amazing stunts in his wheelchair. Aaron does it all, from big jumps over staircases to vertical hand stands in empty skate bowls. The video was filmed in London and has Aaron wearing a dirt bike helmet and some much needed gloves.
The film aims to encourage both those with or without disabilities to participate in extreme sports and make it known that those with disabilities are capable of doing anything. At this moment, it seems that only BMXing is getting the most attention, but more videos are popping up around the world.
