Skate parks are built to roll! So what could be more natural than skating in it with a wheelchair?

I want to set the course for an inclusive future and a society that offers equal space to all people. To enable them in claiming this space, I want to strengthen the resilience, independence and self-confidence of all people using wheelchairs!
Due to a self-inflicted accident, I became dependent on a wheelchair from one day to the other. Thanks to the Paralympics on TV back then and sports offers in rehab, I quickly found fun in my new vehicle and discovered the wheelchair as a device for sport and fun. Skate parks were the perfect playground for me to learn how to control my wheelchair. This enables me to be safe and independent in everyday life, even in the most difficult situations. I want to use my experiences to help the younger generation to achieve an independent and active life with a wheelchair. I want to make society more inclusive and barrier-free for all of them.
