New York - Wheelchair Thrasher

By viceland

While the people who claim they're "looking out for" the handicapped seem perfectly happy consigning them to lives of endless boredom so long as they can trot them out every so often to inspire an auditorium of high schoolers and no one is making any funnies, there are a few truly enlightened souls who realize that what most folks in wheelchairs want to be doing is exactly what they were doing right before ending up in a wheelchair(and which probably led to it) . Adam Fotheringham's folks are thankfully of the latter type, having allowed their son to wheel himself away from the TV and back to the skatepark where he has turned his handicap into a special ability of near-cyborg proportions.
