WHEELCHAIR Motocross: The Inventor!
You know the phrase, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade? Itās the idea of taking something bad and making something good out of it.
Aaron Fotheringham was born with spina bifida, a disease thatās kept him in a wheelchair his whole life. But he always loved watching skateboarding and BMX riders, so he decided he was going to be just like those guys.
He invented his own sport: WCMX, which stands for WheelChair MotoCross. Heās taught himself to adapt BMX tricks to his wheelchair, like grinding rails, backflips, and frontflips; and heās even set some of his own world records for WCMX tricks!
