Video: For anyone who hasn’t seen wheelchair stuntman Aaron Fotheringham in action

If this doesn’t leave you in awe, then we give up.

If this doesn’t leave you in awe, then we give up.

Aaron Fotheringham is no ordinary stuntman. His stunts are from the confines of a specially-made wheelchair, not that it seems to hinder the 22 year-old a great deal.

‘Wheelz’ as he is known suffers from Spina Bifida, and has been in a wheelchair since he was three, but that has not restricted his interest in high-octance sport.

He competes in the Vegas Am Jam series in skate park competitions, usually against BMX riders, and has also appeared as a stunt double in the hit show Glee.

Some man for one man.
