Neat video clip culminating with the first ever landed wheelchair backflip.

What happened?
This was in RSU a while back.

I don't care if it was.
It still makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up every time he lands that backflip.

Oops. I haven't been hanging out in RSU for awhile. Sorry for the repost.

Thanks for posting, I never saw it on RSU (who would expect to find a four wheeled vid on RSU?)

Amazing stuff, but...

really bad joke to follow...

You could end up a paraplegic doing that kind of stuff.

habbywall · 2006-09-19, 09:52 PM

Yeah, it is an amazing video.
And that was actually brought up in RSU people wondering about if doing that is what put him in that chair in the first place.
Personnally if I was in a wheel chair I don't think I would do that because there is a good chance you can't feel your legs, then you could really mess yourself up, althought I guess if you are confined to a chair for the rest of your life it doesn't really matter.

That is probably one of the funniest things I've seen on the forums...the wheelchair thing was cool too.

Come on people the stupid wheelchair people even beat us to a back flip

Tomahawk · 2006-09-20, 03:58 AM

Is that guy really parapelgic? I thought he was an average kid doing stuff in a wheel chair

domesticated ape · 2006-09-20, 08:21 AM

That's awesome, but the slams at the start look harsh! Especially the guy who tries to get over the pool step. I wonder if he bothered trying to do that one again as it isn't on the vid.

A couple of years ago I saw a guy in a wheelchair getting a tow-in from a BMX into a big snake-run into a bowl at a skatepark in Canada. It made me nervous just nervous watching him because he had no protective gear on and the potential for a really bad slam looked pretty high!

tomtrevor · 2006-09-20, 08:51 AM

i forget where it is, but i saw a video of guys been towed in off-road wheelchairs behind motorbikes and doing jumps over cars. it was pretty phyco stuff!

tobbogonist · 2006-09-20, 09:21 AM

i used to have an old wheel chair, we would take it down to the local zebra crossing and one person would slowly cross the road in the chair and fall off half way over and we would watch as people got out of there cars to help assist.
good for a laugh but is rather imoral now i look back at it.

i did take it to the skatepark once, i went down a ramp and back up another before placing it in the 'too likely to crack a head' basket.

dan de man · 2006-09-20, 10:15 AM

man If I could put that into my sig line I would ^

but man 1 prob ,you can jump but that grind was awasome

tomtrevor · 2006-09-20, 10:17 AM
