Wow! Seems to me that's a good way to end up in a wheelchair if you're not already in one! Those guys must have balls of steel to try those crazy stunts.

My mother, who has passed, spent her life in a wheelchair. She would have loved to see this video. Thanks.

If there is one thing I know about skaters, it is that they understand that pain is only temporary, and must be endured when breaking new ground.

I especially like the end when he is showing the young one some moves.

Good for them!

This is not the type of thing that I would do, but I see nothing but people empowering themselves here... Bravo!

That is one of the most incredible things I've seen for a long long time.

I don't know how to show a standing ovation here, but that's what these guys get from me.

I spent a few years supporting and assisting disabled sportsmen (my Father in Law and others) but these guys are really pushing the envelope.

Bravo, and encore.

I agree, amazing !

Also goes to show that a device as "benign" as a wheelchair can be used in a fashion that could be of danger to the user and others.

If that was done on a Segway there would be outrage about the "danger" of the device itself.

It's not about the device it's all about how you use it, and those guys are incredible.

Be Big,

I thought my DRAFT friends would get a kick out of it.

That video is really inspirational. Though I doubt this is the case they made their stunts look easy...and proved once again that the spirit of man is indomitable.
