Hi! Pat, about doing wheelies in a wheelchair, it can be done with
practice.  I have seen some teenagers that play basketball in their
wheelchairs, and they were really adept with those wheelchairs ,
doing wheelies and every thing possible.  They had good control of
their wheelchair and I was not afraid that they would hurt
themselves.  Try to go see wheelchairs athlete when they are
playing basketball or other sports.  I was amaze at the control
they had, and some of them using only one hand.

cheeers, Red
