(NEWSBREAK) – This is the moment a 12-year-old boy became the first male in the UK to perform a backflip in a wheelchair.
Benjamin Sleet was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus, a build up of fluid in the brain, and has always required the use of a wheelchair to get around. He was first introduced to wheelchair motor cross (WCMX) at a skateboard event aged eight, but his skills began to take off when he obtained a specialist skate chair.
After a few months of practice and repeated attempts using a foam pit, Benjamin landed a backflip at a skate park earlier this month.
