It was one of those stunts in 'America's Got Talent: Extreme' that rightfully deserved a Golden Buzzer. Aaron Wheelz Fotheringham put fans through a rollercoaster of emotions when he went down a ramp, performed a flip and landed on the other side, and all of that on a wheelchair. In the two-hour audition special, safe to say, it was Wheelz who had the most dangerous stunt and while he failed the first time, he went back up again just to stick the landing in the second.

It wasn't just the judges who were all praise for Wheelz's grit, resilience and determination, but also the millions who watched the season opener. Awarding him with the Golden Buzzer soon after the insane stunt was Nikki Bella, one of the judges. "Nikki @BellaTwins gives her GB to Wheelz @wcmx4life! There could not have been a more deserving golden buzzer recipient on #AGTExtreme. I was so impressed with his determination, commitment, and skill. Congrats Wheelz! 🎉" one of the fans wrote.
