Max Abramov doesn't let anything stand in the way of the next cool trick. After losing his legs when his bed caught fire as a baby, Max found a new home with his adoptive family in St. Petersburg, Russia. At first, he just used a skateboard to help himself get around, but his mom thought it could become something bigger.
