Athletes and Parents

The City of Las Vegas BlazeSports Program in conjunction with the City of Las Vegas Office of Xtreme Sports is proud to announce that we will be offering Hard Core Sitting Classes (riding wheelchairs in skateparks) to the BlazeSports Las Vegas Athletes. We have scheduled a meet and greet with Las Vegas’s own Aaron Fotheringham who has been doing skatepark maneuvers in his wheelchair, or Hard Core Sitting, as he has termed it, for seven years and who recorded the first ever back-flip in a wheelchair. Read Aaron’s bio and watch his video at http://www.vegasamjam.com/teamamjam_afotheringham.asp.

We are very excited to be able to offer this opportunity and to continue to show that there are no boundaries as we push through challenges to see new horizons.
