Fotheringham calls his activity "WCMX". He is the first person to successfully perform a backflip[1] in a wheelchair at the age of 14, and a double backflip[2] at the age of 18. He performs many other tricks in his wheelchair including 180 degree 'aerials', one-wheeled spins and rail grinds.[3] He plans to fuse the back flip with the 180 aerial into what is known as a 'flair'.
