Extreme Athlete Continues To Astound In Wheelchair

November 21, 2013

Aaron Fotheringham is a total badass.

Diagnosed with Spinal Bifida at a young age, he hasn't let being bound to a wheelchair stop him from pursuing his dream of being an extreme athlete. Not only is "Wheelz" a total trailblazer but he's also been part of Travis Pastrana's "Nitro Circus."

The latest video of him has gone viral, amassing nearly 30,000 views in its first day.

Check out Ed Miller's piece on Fotheringham here to read the Las Vegas native's complete story.

Josh is originally from the small berg of Arthur, Ill, proudly the Amish capital of the state. It also has one hell of a pumpkin patch.

Josh has enjoyed dipping his toes into a variety of careers since graduating from the University of Alabama, the most rewarding thus far having served as a youth director in southern California for four years, and his broadcasting career which has garnered two Emmy awards and three Edward R. Murrow Awards.

Josh enjoys loud rock music, Tom Hanks movies, dogs that like to cuddle and long runs. He is also always in search for America's greatest cheeseburger. Follow him here if you would like to be friends!
