It's a thing. It's called WCMX like BMX but wheelchair instead of bike.

Found a video. Legit looks pretty sick. I just can't help but think that the tech still looks pretty primitive, and wonder what future iterations of these chairs will look like.

Fuck, that's amazing! That guy is pretty impressive.

The chairs are essentially full suspension bmx frames and wheels in the form of a wheel chair. They’re legit.

For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.
