The Las Vegas native, who was born with spina bifida, started using a wheelchair around the age of 8 due to chronic pain. At 24, he's now competing in national BMX competitions and doing what most pros can't achieve.

"He was a BMXer, so he was always kind of pumping me up and he was a big inspiration for me.
