One boy won’t let his chair put a spoke in his wheels.
A video of a boy shredding the bowl at a Sacramento, California, skate park with a little help from Dad is going viral.
After just one viewing, you can totally understand why. The look of pure joy on 8-year-old Atticus Edmunds’ face is enough to make anyone smile.
"That was great!" he gleefully cried as his dad, Jared Edmunds, pushes him up and down ramps. "That was fantastic! That was crazy!"
Tresa Edmunds, Atticus’ mom, who blogs about her family, their health issues and creative solutions at ReeseDixon.com, is the one who recorded and uploaded the video to her YouTube channel. She says she is absolutely delighted that the video has gone viral.
“It's so exciting for me, because as his mom -- as his advocate -- my goal is to make room in the world for him and to get people to see him as a kid first and the chair second," she told CBS Sacramento.
“He got spooked, but he decided he was a skater and skaters get back up,” Tresa wrote on Facebook.
The other kids at have even began to cheer him on and give him high-fives. In fact, Today reports that when one of his wheels popped off his chair the other day, a kid yelled: "Ride until the wheels fly off, Atticus!"
Seems like Tresa’s dream that Atticus would be seen as just one of the kids has finally come true.
