crip tricks
i've often thought of taking myself and my wheelchair down to the skatepark... but the possiblity of doing myself further injury (the irony of breaking one's spine using a wheelchair!), or wrecking my chair, usually puts me off...
currently 'doing the rounds' (you may have seen it already) there's (more than) a couple of clips out there of aaron fotheringham pulling some nice tricks in his chair, including a wheelchair backflip - apparently the first (ever!). (both show the backflip, the second focusses on the backflip and has more chat with aaron; the first more other tricks and culminates with the backflip, and has some nice shots of him and a littler kid *smile*)
you can also watch tyler deith playing on some pipes & ramps (not so spectacular, imo, but a rather nice combination on the half pipe)
and check out this fourcross video clip... and there's some more of stacey kohut (downhill)... and a couple of intros to fourcross by R-one
and an adventurous powerchair user, who even manages to get a bit of air - that possibly impressed me most! (how heavy are those chairs!)
*wide grin*
