subject: Wheelchair User Performs Double Back Flip [print this page] A wheelchair user from Nevada has made world history after becoming the first person in the world to perform a double back flip whilst in a wheelchair. The nail biting stunt has been watched on the internet millions of times now by people across the world.
After practising for months on end the teenager finally succeeded having suffered many injuries and one broken wheelchair during the failed attempts along the way. The stunt was finally completed on 36th August.
'I feel so happy to have finally done it,' said the 18-year-old teenager, who goes by the name of aka Wheelz. The record breaking stunt took a lot of practicing.
The record breaking stunt entailed the daredevil 'Aaron' being propelled at high speeds from a bungee jump cord onto a waiting ramp. He was then required to use his powerful upper body strength in order to carry out the double spin before coming to a perfect landing on his wheels.
The young record breaker was born with the condition spina bifida but he has not allowed this to stand in his way at all. He is a self confessed adrenaline junkie and originates from Las Vegas in Nevada where he spent lots of his child hood in his local skate park. He carried out the same stunts as his friends but in his wheelchair. 'I grew to like my chair because it was like having a skateboard with me all the time.'
Due to the success and intense interest in his record breaking attempt Aaron has now become well known across he USA and he is currently on tour with the TV show Nitro Circus which shows people partaking in gripping stunts around the world.
Aaron does not see his recent record breaking stunt as the end though he now plans on performing a front flip and then a double flip and adds that,' There will always be another stunt to try.
