I read about this kid (I think he's 14) in ESPN the magazine. He was born with spinal bifida and has been confined to a wheelchair his whole life. The video will speak for itself but he wants to add a wheelchair competition to the X Games soon if he can find some competition. If you just want to see the backflip go to around 2:25 and watch. I think the best part is at the end where he is teaching the little kid.....

I hear ya....looks like it's a lot of fun. I was reading that he has a specially designed wheelchair with special shocks and wheels so it doesn't break easily.

I wasn't all that great at skateboarding either although I had a lot of fun while doing it.
