Inspiration: Wheelchair Athlete Pulls First Ever Double Backflip

Fotheringham was born with a paralysis-inducing condition called spina bifida, wherein his spinal canal and backbone didn’t fully close. But you don't think about that when you watch him fly through the air. You just let your jaw drop like it does when you're watching any other amazing athlete.
