    I know a couple wheelchair users who would send it. There are guys here in medellin that ride their wheelchairs in the skate parks.

        There must be one who were always more risky but I have heard some change after an accident and think, well what could go wrong now, might as well go for it

      I would love to see that, is competitive wheelchair skateboarding a thing? Because I’d watch the shit out of that!

        It’s a thing. It’s called WCMX like BMX but wheelchair instead of bike.

          Found a video. Legit looks pretty sick. I just can’t help but think that the tech still looks pretty primitive, and wonder what future iterations of these chairs will look like.

            The chairs are essentially full suspension bmx frames and wheels in the form of a wheel chair. They’re legit.

            The “let me just jump into a new wheelchair” was fantastic

              i was digging the grind down the center of the chair

              but i wish he wouldn’t do flips, those chairs are heavy and he barely had clearance
