If you think you have challenges in life, meet Aaron Fotheringham, a wheelchair-bound 17-year-old who’s created a sport called hard core sitting. Basically, it’s extreme skateboarding in a wheelchair.

Recently, Discovery Channel hooked up with Fotheringham who appears in a commercial, launching this week, for the company’s HowStuffWorks website . Aaron has Spina Bifida and is the first person to perform a backflip in a wheelchair.

This latest work follows an initial campaign for the site which featured a scuba diving cat.
