First Woman EVER to Wheelchair Backflip! | The Happiness Stories

This is one for the history books: Katherine Beattie, the first woman to do a wheelchair backflip. After years struggling to get a wheelchair made for athletes, Katherine has finally been able to push the boundaries of sport in adaptive skateboarding. Trailblazing in a sport means lots of falls, experimentation, and setbacks. Yet, Katherine has always been able to get back up and try again. Because what's a little fall if it means you can fly?
Katherine's amazing story is part of our collaboration with The Happiness Stories and director Ron Parida, who presents portraits of individuals who have been dealt life's toughest challenges, but who choose to persevere and do inspiring things.
