MEET inspirational Aaron 'Wheelz' Fotheringham - the man honoured to be called the Evel Knievel of the wheelchair world. The 24-year-old Nitro Circus performer jumps off a massive football stadium filling ramp - called a Giganta Ramp - soars 50ft through the air, while doing back and front flips, before landing on his wheels to send crowds wild.
Wheelz, a crowd favourite wherever he goes, landed the world’s first wheelchair double backflip and first front flip. He is the only person in the world to hit Nitro’s famous Giganta Ramp in a wheelchair.
Wheelz, pioneering the new extreme sport of WCMX, or Wheelchair Motocross, will touch down with Nitro Circus death-defying daredevils pals, performing other amazing extreme sports stunts, on motorbikes, BMX bikes and more on a 2016 UK tour including a date at Sheffield United's Bramall Lane ground on Saturday, June 18.
