That guy tried a double back after that! Nitro Circus guys are insane.

The first was amazing,, and he damned near landed the double.
Who says extreme sports are only for ABs? While I'm not personlly into dangerous activities anymore,, due more to age than the chair,, this guy has more cojones than I ever did.
Is he, by any chance, a member, here?

I watch Nitro Circus as do a lot of younger people, this may help change stereotypes. They've had Marc Zupan on a number of episodes doing some fun looking crazy shit!

Fear is the dumbest thing that we've ever created in our minds; its just so stupid... it stands in the way of everything and it achieves nothing.

My 6 yr. old son watched this with me and he started crying and said "Mommy, promise me you will NEVER try this!!" I laughed, and as I was kissing him told him, "No worries son! Wheelchair tennis is about as extreme as this mommy is going!"
I do think it is really cool though and shows my children that life isn't over just because you are in a chair!

Fooking agree - these were the first dudes on nitro circus I thought about when I got my injury, as they always get over their accidents well - never seen him before though - i feel some nights watching u-tube coming up.......
