I know a couple wheelchair users who would send it. There are guys here in medellin that ride their wheelchairs in the skate parks.

    I wonder how those guys ended up in wheelchairs.

    I would love to see that, is competitive wheelchair skateboarding a thing? Because I'd watch the shit out of that!

    It's a thing. It's called WCMX like BMX but wheelchair instead of bike.

    Found a video. Legit looks pretty sick. I just can't help but think that the tech still looks pretty primitive, and wonder what future iterations of these chairs will look like.
