Witness The First Double Backflip In A Wheelchair Ever (Video)

by Dan Fogarty | 4:41 pm, September 3rd, 2010

Wow. Andrew “Wheelz” Fotheringham, an eighteen-year-old wheelchair athlete from Las Vegas, pulled off the world’s first double backflip in a wheelchair last weekend using what appears to be a bungie cord, a ramp, and a custom-made wheelchair.

The following video is amazing for a number of reasons, not the least of which is the fact that Andrew fails a number of times before pulling off the stunt. After a few scary falls where Andrew lands on his head, his fellow riders repeatedly ask him if he’s sure he’s okay. By the end of the video, he’s better than okay: he’s awesome.

Here’s Andrew’s website.
