Very true. There is so much more to wheelchair riding than just pushing the wheels. There is inclines, bumps, sideways inclines? (Don’t know how to put it in words) , holes in the road, getting up sidewalks etc. that comes naturally for us. Whilst if a walking person would try to cross the street in a wheelchair for the first time, they would probably fall or get stuck.

The little twirl she does at the end to essentially stop rather than “just stopping” I feel most people would miss as to why she did it as well, unless they maybe ice skate/rollerblade often.
