Is there a rough-terrain sport for wheelchairs?

Using All-Terrain Wheelchairs For Handcycling

If the lure of dirt, competition, and rough-terrain sound like a satisfying challenge, consider looking into the all-terrain wheelchairs for handcycling. These all-terrain wheelchairs are three-wheel off-road bicycles, with a single wheel in the rear just like mountain bikes and two wheels in the front to keep the rider stable. Handcyling wheelchairs work well for trail riding. Riders use their torsos to steer the handcyling wheelchairs, which have handlebars similar to a regular mountain bike. Handcyling has become a popular sport since the first handcyling World Championship was held in 1998.
