Inspirational and amazing freeski backflip done by parapalegic athlete Josh Dueck

(CBS) - If you're looking for something that will inspire and blow you away at the same time, then look no further than this truly amazing video with athlete Josh Dueck performing a freeski backflip. It's amazing!

The spectacular ski video was posted by salomonfreeskiTV who writes:

Back in 2004, a flip on skis gone tragically wrong broke Josh Dueck's back and left him as a T11 -- full paraplegic. For the past 8 years one of his dreams has been to do a flip on snow again. On February 3, 2012, Josh became the first person to perform a backflip on snow in a Sit Ski!

This has without a doubt earned a triple-rainbow salute from everyone here at The Feed and we are very excited to see more from Josh Dueck in the future! To check out more from salomonfreeskiTV, you can click here to go to their YouTube page.
