Aaron Fotheringham Biography

Aaron Fotheringham is one of the most popular and richest Athlete who was born on November 8, 1991 in Las Vegas, Las Vegas, United States. Aaron Fotheringham (born November 8, 1991) is an extreme wheelchair athlete who performs tricks adapted from skateboarding and BMX. Although he used crutches early on, he has been a wheelchair user full-time since the age of eight. He would watch his brother riding his BMX at the skate park, and one day his brother told him that he should try riding his chair in the park, an event of which Fotheringham said “One day my brother was like, ‘It’d be really cool if you dropped in on your chair, do you want to try it?’” My dad was there and he gave me the thumbs up, so they helped me get my chair up a four- foot quarter pipe. Then I dropped in and just fell. Multiple times.Then, finally, I rode away from one of them.”. Aaron later noted that “I did, and I was hooked”.

Fotheringham calls his activity “WCMX”. He is the first person to successfully perform a backflip in a wheelchair at the age of 14, and a double backflip at the age of 18. He performs many other tricks in his wheelchair including 180 degree ‘aerials’, one-wheeled spins and rail grinds. He plans to fuse the back flip with the 180 aerial into what is known as a ‘flair’.

When asked about having to practice, Fotheringham responded “I don’t think of it as practice, I think of it as a fun way to live my life”.

In 2010 Fotheringham joined the Nitro Circus Live tour, an action sports road show that tours Australia, New Zealand, Europe and the United States. “A little while after my 18th birthday I got an email from a producer of Nitro Circus. He said they’d heard I was trying to jump a big ramp but that nobody would give me permission. And they said: ‘Here at Nitro Circus, we’re not going to stop you doing it,” Fotheringham later told James Renhard for Mpora. On the tour Fotheringham performed on a fifty-foot ramp-to-ramp jump doing backflips, double backflip attempts and on February 9, 2011, in New Zealand, the world’s first wheelchair frontflip.
