Hi, I'm Martin and this is

Newsround. Coming up...

0:00:040:00:14

Keep working hard, you get there and

0:00:150:00:17

get to meet you and visions.

0:00:170:00:19

And prepare yourselves

for an epic high-flying stunt.

0:00:190:00:29

First up, tennis star Andy Murray

says he's keen to help young

0:00:300:00:33

athletes achieve sporting success.

0:00:330:00:45

It requires a certain level of skill

to achieve what he's

0:01:180:01:21

achieved and I think that's

what we want to do.

0:01:210:01:23

We want to be at the top

of argument are sport.

0:01:230:01:26

Recruits to his management company

will be able to talk to Andy himself

0:01:260:01:29

as well as getting loads of advice

on sports science, nutrition

0:01:290:01:32

plus access to amazing facilities.

0:01:320:01:35

He has won slams and the fact

that he is still thinking about how

0:01:350:01:38

to help the younger players shows

how much he cares about the next

0:01:380:01:41

generation coming up.

0:01:410:01:43

And what is his advice for all

you budding sports stars out there?

0:01:430:01:47

You are all going to have

setbacks along the way.

0:01:470:01:50

Everybody gets them.

0:01:500:01:52

It's not a bad thing.

0:01:520:01:54

If you keep believing in yourself,

you keep working hard,

0:01:540:01:56

you will get there.

0:01:560:01:57

You will get to reach your goals

and your ambitions.

0:01:570:02:00

Next, it's pretty hard

to do a backflip.

0:02:000:02:05

But imagine managing

it in wheelchair.

0:02:050:02:09

Well, Lily Rice is the first female

in the UK to do just that.

0:02:090:02:19

I'm Lily Rice, I'm 13 years

old, and I ride WCMX.

0:02:190:02:24

WCMX stands for

wheelchair motocross.

0:02:240:02:27

It involves riding

a wheelchair in a skatepark.

0:02:270:02:30

You ride the wheelchair

like a BMXer would ride a BMX,

0:02:300:02:33

or a skateboarder would ride

a skateboard, or a scooter

0:02:330:02:36

would ride a scooter.

0:02:360:02:37

I started riding early March,

and we just, like, stayed on a

0:02:370:02:40

few banks, which are basically

like small hills going up and down.

0:02:400:02:46

But as my confidence increased,

I started to try bigger ramps,

0:02:470:02:49

and then eventually did a small

quarter pipe,

0:02:490:02:51

which is about two feet.

0:02:510:02:54

And I felt so happy when I did that.

0:02:540:02:56

But now, looking back

on that, I think that's

0:02:560:02:58

nothing compared to

what I'm doing now.

0:02:580:03:01

The backflip wasn't really a target,

I kind of just arrived at

0:03:010:03:04

the skatepark and I was like,

I want to try a backflip.

0:03:040:03:07

Practised into a foam pit first,

which is like a big

0:03:070:03:10

ramp going up into a pit

of foam, basically.

0:03:100:03:13

It kind of describes itself.

0:03:130:03:16

Then I moved onto a resi ramp,

which is a normal ramp made for

0:03:160:03:19

practising tricks.

0:03:190:03:21

Once I landed it, I was,

like, really happy.

0:03:210:03:23

I was ecstatic and I screamed.

0:03:230:03:26

It is different to what

other people are doing.

0:03:260:03:29

I rock up to the skate park,

and people are like,

0:03:290:03:32

why is there a wheelchair here?

0:03:320:03:33

Then I go onto one of the ramps,

and they are like,

0:03:330:03:36

oh, my God.

0:03:360:03:37

I'd like to try a front flip

now that I can do a backflip.

0:03:370:03:40

No woman has ever done

a front flip, so I

0:03:400:03:43

would be the first woman to do that.

0:03:430:03:45

Skateboarding is going to

the Olympics next year, and I really

0:03:450:03:47

hope WCMX can go to

the Paralympics as well.

0:03:470:03:51

I want to inspire others and show

people that you can do

0:03:510:03:54

whatever you want.

0:03:540:03:55

You just have to put

your mind to it.

0:03:550:04:05

Lily, I was definitely the first new

Shuai presented to do a backflip. In

0:04:060:04:11

my dreams!

0:04:110:04:12

Next, we're about to see one

of the biggest, coolest,

0:04:120:04:15

gravity-defying stunts ever.

0:04:150:04:16

These French wingsuit

flyers are gliding through

0:04:160:04:17

Switzerland's Jungfrau Mountain.

0:04:170:04:18

However, being able to fly just

isn't cool enough for these guys,

0:04:180:04:21

so they decided to land

on board a light aeroplane

0:04:210:04:24

in mid-air. What?

0:04:240:04:26

Fred Furgen and Vince

Reffet practised more

0:04:260:04:29

than 100 times before

doing it for real.

0:04:290:04:32

It's like something

from an action movie.

0:04:320:04:35

And if you haven't got any

homework this afternoon,

0:04:350:04:38
