Here it gives! He has no legs or arms, but that doesn’t stop him from doing tricks on his skateboard
10-year-old Maxim Abramov from St. Petersburg is now a big celebrity. His video was recently published on his Instagram (an extremist organization banned in Russia) by world skateboarding star Tony Hawk.
“New favorite skateboarder,” Tony signed the post, referring to Maxim.
In the video, a legless boy who rides around the skatepark and does cool tricks. A wide smile, sparkle and excitement in the eyes. Looking at Max, you do not feel pity, only admiration.
The next day, Yuri Dud spoke about the boy on Instagram (an extremist organization banned in Russia).
“Just look how cool he does it,” wrote the journalist and video blogger.
Maxim lost his legs when he was only a year old. The accident occurred in the village of Solnechnoye, Amur Region, where the boy lived with his family then. There was a fire. The kid was at home alone at the time.
The child was saved, but due to severe burns, the doctors amputated the boy’s legs. After the incident, Maxim’s mother was deprived of parental rights.
So the crippled boy would have remained in the provincial orphanage, if not for the kind people from St. Petersburg who adopted the child. So Maxim had loving parents and a sister.
Maxim’s mother suggested giving the boy to skateboarding. Parents’ faith, a good coach, and now Maxim performs tricks on a par with other athletes. The boy has iron prostheses,
but judging by the video on Instagram (an extremist organization banned in Russia), he is much more interested in moving around the city on a skateboard.
Traveling around the world, Maxim first of all masters local skate parks. He also studies well, knows English and seems to be completely oblivious to his flaw.
