Sweet, those are some harsh crashes though, keep riding, try to get a set of Dee-Maxxes on the chair, that would be dirty.

What a champion way to not let your dream slip. Throwing down backflips a true pioneer and humble enough to show that little guy how to ride, we need more guys like him. Mad Props all the way
[Reply]
There's not enough respect in the world for him. Saw that a little while back and almost brought me to tears seeing him take what he has and make the absolute best of it. Huge props to him.

thats the most f*cking stupid thing i've ever seen. hes already lost use of his legs, what does he expect to happen next.. the rest of his body.
that guy is dumb
that guy is dumb
you got the use of your legs,what do you expect to happen next? so why don't you stop riding and go sit in a corner!
So i guess that means everyone that bikes, skis, snowboards, etc are stupid?
people like u make me sick!

he scoots around and jumps down stair sets, and does back flip.
i didnt say he should stop riding you idiot. i meant he should tone it down. some of that shit is seriously dumb for a wheelchair person, and i'm not putting down parapoleegics (spelling) i'm just saying there are things that are just stupid.
i dont do backflips or jump stair sets you toe rag and neither do most people, so dont talk shit.

Why should he tone it down? If I toned my riding down, I wouldn't enjoy it as much. Part of the reason we all do this is because of the thrill, the rush from pulling off something crazy, or stupid, or both. Might as well enjoy your life while you can, we are only here for so long.
I give the guy props. He deserves a LOT of respect, and if doing backflips in a wheelchair makes him happy, let him.
I'm sure a lot of people on here backflip, and even more of us jump stair sets. You don't. Good for you.

wtf did you run out of calls or something, or you just wanted to pay somebodey else. your a frigging douch.
Your dumb for doing what you love to do is what you said to this guy, so about 5 people tell you your stupid and you come back saying, wow you have an original name, you are a frigging idiot

Where can i contact you , your going to come to my school to sit there and talk about how you can over come any thing.Props to you.
what?!? have some respect man... he probably watches bmxers and is probably really upset that he has not had and can't/ wont have the chance...
but fair play his dedication to getting as close to BMX riding as he can in a wheelchair is insane, this is a madness video...
some people that have commented here make me sick!
so maybe he doesnt have the use of his legs? so what, does that take away his right to improvise?

so i can cut out your legs,couse for you it dont make any difference that you're with or without your legs?? f*ckin idiot...
[Reply]
I like how he spins on his wheels thats actually sick. I think if I was in a wheel chair I'd pursue the same thing especially because the dudes still young and all thats really wrong with him is that he can't walk. he still hucking flips on a wheel chair so his spines all good. I'd say what the do more crazy shit whats he got to lose.
wheel chair back flips look cool

i kno everyone has alredy said it but man that is soo awesome you took some crazy spills and just kept goin! way to go! props to you! keep on wheelin!
next step for this guy should to do some dirt jumps that would make him the sickest guy in a wheelchair ever
this is so amazing i cant do half the suff he does .this just goes to show you that just because you are in a wheelchair dosent mean that you cant ride like everyone else!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How brilliant is that?! What a guy... I just couldn't stop the ear to ear smile when I saw the vid- now wishing that I could do half of what that guy does.
Disabled? Pah... more bloody abled than me and I have full use of my body. Seems weird and twisted to say it, but having worked with a great deal of disabled children, adults & atheletes in my career; I can't stop being jealous of people that constantly push themselves regardless of so called 'ablitity' - if only I could do things that spectacular and have that sort of determination in life.
This is equal opportunities at its best!
