3-Year-Old Lands First Skateboarding Trick With Help From Awesome Dad (Video)

by Eitan Levine

I had to stop myself from standing up in the middle of the office and applauding when this kid landed the trick.

I have never met Ryden, but I felt like a proud parent when he kicked that board up and landed both feet on the deck.

Here is the thing about kids who skateboard: They are terrible at it.

I used to live right next to a park with a flat concrete parking lot, so I’ve seen a lot of wannabe Bucky Laseks attempting to flip boards up and land on them without cracking their shins open.

Honestly, they accomplish maybe 2 percent of the tricks they attempt -- and that’s a pretty conservative estimate.

The fact that Ryden landed something before his fourth birthday is mesmerizing.

Get this child a Red Bull sponsorship.
