Aaron ‘Wheelz’ Fotheringham was born with Spina Bifida, but by the age of eight, he was already tearing up the local skate park in his wheelchair.

Now 24, Aaron is a wheelchair motocross athlete taking the world by storm with his gutsy efforts in grabbing serious air, despite having never had use of his legs. In this short video for Red Bull, Aaron explains how his wheelchair has become a vehicle for madness, as well as some awesome footage of him in action, which makes it easy to see why he’s the world’s premier wheelchair freestyler.

Aaron is also an ambassador for the Wings For Life World Run which takes place globally on May 8, raising awareness for those with spinal damage. 100% of entry fees go towards the cause, so see if there’s one taking place near you right here. Meanwhile, watch Aaron’s story below:
