Skateboarding: It's all in the arms. That may not sound right, but for Daniel Pelletier, a teenage skater who's paralyzed from the waist down, that's simply how it has to be. Through some ridiculous combination of crutches, coordination, arm strength and a whole lot of heart, Daniel manages to skate better than the vast majority of people who, you know, actually have full use of their legs. Here's his sponsor-me tape. Now that he's on the verge of internet celebrity, we're sure it's only a matter of seconds before the shoe companies come calling.

these videos are complete bull. you cannot pop an ollie without stomping on the tail of your skateboard, and he clearly uses his legs in almost all of the videos.

He might not be a paralyzed totally, but have limited mobility? Still, don't be a Debbie Downer, he's pretty good

He's not using his legs. He's using the crutches to move himself backwards and dropping his weight as a way of stomping on the tail. Observer carefully.
