This Is What Hope Looks Like

Obama’s got nothing on this guy.

That’s just inspiring.

Sixteen-year-old Aaron Fotheringham – known as ‘Wheels’ – got official recognition last month, even though he has been doing them for two years.

He takes his specially made wheelchair on to skate ramps in Las Vegas, where he has become a something of a celebrity in the skate scene.

He said: “It feels awesome to have the record.”

Aaron invented a sport that he calls “hardcore sitting” – using a wheelchair to perform moves more often seen done on skateboards or BMX bikes.

Suddenly, that 207 I got at the bowling alley doesn’t feel so special.
