Wheelz


Book Description

"The effect that Wheelz has on the crowd is out of this world. I mean, we have the best in the world of action sports, and more people come to see Wheelz than anybody else." Travis Pastrana, -X Games gold medalist and Nitro Circus organizer, leader and performer. Many people succeed in spite of great challenges. Aaron "Wheelz" Fotheringham is not one of those people. When asked by ESPN, "How do you define spina bifida?" Aaron responded, "A great opportunity." Consumed by the simple but logical belief that riding is more fun than walking, Aaron took his wheelchair and turned it into a toy, playing and practicing on it until there was no place he couldn't go. After beating his peers in all the BMX competitions he could enter, Aaron became the unicorn of the Nitro Circus team, the ultimate dream of every BMX rider and skateboarder alike. Aaron's biography so far includes pain, determination, failure, motivation, and unimagined success. And yet these things are incidental to the real story. What makes his story great is that his attitude is contagious, and Wheelz is anything but quarantined.

One such law enforcement officer who had a pocket full of drugs to plant on the victim but the officer instead was shot. Is the motorcycle world targeted? Yes, in some places more than others. We are profiled, detained, and often separated from our cash, there is always a ticket. We aren't allowed to assemble in public. Some bars are closed down if they serve bikers. "It Will Get Tough" exposes some of the police abuse and our ability to have fun anyway. We must stand and fight for our constitutionally guaranteed rights, and we are.
