Extreme Athlete Continues To Astound In Wheelchair

By Josh Helmuth

Aaron Fotheringham is a total badass.

Diagnosed with Spinal Bifida at a young age, he hasn't let being bound to a wheelchair stop him from pursuing his dream of being an extreme athlete. Not only is "Wheelz" a total trailblazer but he's also been part of Travis Pastrana's "Nitro Circus."

The latest video of him has gone viral, amassing nearly 30,000 views in its first day.

Check out Ed Miller's piece on Fotheringham here to read the Las Vegas native's complete story.
