yeah, i'm not sure what's up. i think maybe the "yeah, you were the first" certification is what's new?

i hadn't seen any of it before and was impressed -- the boy has moves.

The article you referenced said he's been doing it since 1996.

Right at the beginning of the article it says (emphasis mine) "Aaron Fotheringham, 16, who is known to friends as ‘Wheels’, finally landed the official world record after learning the amazing acrobatic stunt two years ago."

So you are both right! :-)
