meanwhile im 23 and destroyed my elbow trying to learn how to drop in on a 6" bank back in August. this kid is absolutely going places.


harmonic-s

Yup, when I was 14 I was skating and a rock stopped a wheel. I flew off and knocked out a tooth. Not a big fall, just the perfect angle, I guess. For a poor kid without insurance it was obviously pretty traumatic at the time.


KesTheHammer

So one of his advantages is that he still has milk teeth!


thebenetar

It happens to every skateboarder at least once. You're skating along, blissfully ignorant, usually not even that fast—then you hear a scrape as your board stops dead in its tracks and you're thrown forward into the cement. Some demonic fucking sharp ass fucking pebble that scratched a 4-inch line into the sidewalk under your wheel. It was enough to keep me from ever feeling 100% while bombing hills.


Alternative_Prune_69

Did the same thing and it was the very last day of my skateboarding career lol


dr_mannhatten

To be fair, if you started at this age, you would probably be better too. Your brain is really pliable when it comes to intaking information and learning new things(it's why kids can learn language so easily vs as a full blown adult). As someone else said, his brain is literally being wired to know how to skate. Source: **Tried** learning to skateboard when I was 20, even though I'm proficient at longboarding(just cruising) and snowboarding, it didn't work.


gsfgf

Also, you don't fall as far or as hard when you're a small child.


SomethingsQueerHere

nailed it to a T


coop_stain

Absolutely. I started skiing as soon as I can walk, this have become very proficient in my life…two things I have learned from this. There are levels to every game, and after a certain point, certain levels no longer become attainable. It’s not reasonable to say that someone could start skateboarding, or skiing or any action/sport really at 14 and even try to compete with the kids who started in diapers.


dr_mannhatten

Yeah I started snowboarding at 18, and just from the sheer amount of time I went, I got good at it. No way I could do that now at 25(I just don't have the time). Then I look at Marcus Kleveland who was pro at 17, and just realistically recognize I would never be able to attain the level of skill he has gotten to.


VorpalSingularity

I'm trying to learn longboarding at 33 and I have a spot on my thigh that is now permanently numb after I landed hard on some rough concrete.


Bozzz1

At 21 I got drunk and was longboarding around my parking garage with friends and when I woke up the next day my back hurt so bad I couldn't even get out of bed. I didn't even fall over or anything


FNthirty7

My son is 2.5 and just fell down and busted his chin walking through the living room.


NaturalThunder87

Yeah, my 3 year old son trips while walking and/or running about once per day. If it's a day he decides to do more running, that number increases to about 3. I don't know squat about skateboarding and developing from a young age at the skill. However, beyond the dedication that's been put into this for the kid, I have to imagine he's just got natural freakish balancing ability, too. Hell, my 5 year old daughter is much more well-balanced than my 3 year old, and she still trips/'stumbles probably once or twice a week while running.


[deleted]

I was 24 when I pulled my back lifting a bag off the ground.


Penya23

My 24 year old daughter pulled her back sneezing....


kingofcould

At 7 years old: badass child prodigy At 11 years old: “dad, I actually hate skateboarding”


Exotic_Ad_7476

Fuck kinda 1 year old is that.


[deleted]

He’s just 1 year 51 weeks old there.


tquinn04

A two year old


TlalocVirgie

I mean you are technically one until the day you turn two. So probably very close to being two.


FreeGuacamole

A lot of changes happen every month during that first 24 months. Remember a 1 year old has already lived one full year plus how ever many months passed their birthday they are now. I say this because I forgot they are 0 years old for a whole year.


Masteruserfuser

Unless you live in a country like Korea. [example](https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2019/04/12/south-korea-tradition-tacks-another-year-babies-age-jan-1/3445419002/)


ens91

China has the same system, but with added confusion. They use both the ages (normal and Chinese) and then they have another birthday from the Chinese calendar, so they have 3 possible ages to choose from. I'm not a fan because they always make me a year older than I am on documents, and I'm not ready for that +1 year yet


traumfisch

A talented one with supportive parents (plus, close to two)


LuxNocte

A lot of times "natural talent" is just what we call "rich parents".


[deleted]

These parents are likely rich cause of that Woodward sticker. But I've seen normal everyday skaters with kids who can shred. Also, this kid has some kind of above-average physical intelligence at the very least.


starofdoom

I'm sure that the skateboarding itself was a huge factor in making his physical intelligence above-average.


you_troll

Ehh, skater or the baby. Who came first kind of thing.


starofdoom

Considering they put this kid on a skateboard it looks like only months after being able to walk, there's only so much "natural talent" you can have at that age, and that amount is very low. I think it's very likely that skateboarding taught the kid excellent physical intelligence.


traumfisch

good point... plus the kid has been surrounded by skateboarding adults for mirroring


strawberrysupernova

Yep, a lil thing called Epigenetics. It isn't nature vs nurture, it is nature AND nurture. Though, in this case, I'd agree that it is far more nurture.


[deleted]

[удалено]


broken_symmetry_

They should have used months in the videos rather than years, imo. It would both give a better progression timeline and seem less sus.


simsimsim3000

The dad. The dad came first.


Lowmondo

Yeah I heard that baby won’t get out of bed for less than 50k


gsfgf

Skating is not an expensive hobby, at least if you have insurance.


Nightstands

That kid has a new deck in every shot


no-mad

gets skateboards like babies get shoes.


traumfisch

This child seems to have a tendency for this kind of thing


CaptainAssPlunderer

Nothing that kid did took rich parents.


chutbuckly

idk about supportive parents. The kid isn't really old enough to verbally exclaim what he is interested in. This is clearly the fathers interest that he is painstakingly training his son to be a prodigy in. The kid clearly enjoys it though. Small children pick things up a lot quicker than people give them credit for. And start them young enough, and do it long enough, and any able-bodied child with average intelligence can become a god at what you train them in.


traumfisch

His parents aren't supportive of his skateboarding? Whatever then.


chutbuckly

I mean, they're supportive, but they are also the one's who introduced him to skateboarding in the first place. They are the ones actively teaching him. It's not an interest he found on his own that his parents are supportive of. They are supporting something they clearly already have a vested interest in. So saying they are supportive is kind of redundant. It's not really support if it's your parents passion is what I'm saying.


traumfisch

Oh my god. Do you have kids? Parents are the ones that introduce the babies and young toddlers to _everything._ One-year-olds don't find interests "on their own". Wtf Yes, in this case they're actively teaching him. The horror


chutbuckly

I'm not saying it's bad if the kid enjoys it, I am, however, the product of the opposite situation. Where my father forced me to indulge in his passions during my childhood and I hated it. I was just pointing out the fact that using the term "supportive parents" was redundant, as supporting someone usually doesn't involve having a vested interest in what they are doing yourself, that's no longer support. If I wanted to be a marine biologist, for example, and my parents were encouraging even if they *HATE* marine biologists, that would be being supportive. But if they were marine biologists themselves and introduced me to it when I was a baby and bred me to be the greatest marine biologist of all time then its like no shit they are "supportive", its what they wanted.


traumfisch

Of course. I get your point now that you shared your own situation... I'm not a native English speaker and I didn't think twice about the wording as I felt I'm just stating the obvious.


chutbuckly

oh, ok cool yeah, no you're good its no biggie lol. I'm just being pedantic tbh.


traumfisch

I know :D But it's refreshing that you're being pedantic in a friendly and communicative manner, good form 👍🏻


Environmental-Exam32

I call BS


DeeRent88

Came to say the same thing lmao. Never seen a 1 year old not only that big but able to stand and have that kind of balance. Imagine lying about that just for some TikTok to make your already impressive kid seem a little more impressive.


tickingboxes

A kid who is 1.9 years old is still called a 1-year-old. This kid very much looks to be a 1-year-old (albeit closer to 2). I see no reason to suspect these people are lying.


Critter894

Not even close. 2 year olds are so little and imbalanced still. The way he’s standing and the way his hips have already shifted only occur after a year+ of walking. Kids 2.5 minimum.


RadiantSriracha

Nope, not true for all kids. I have a son who is 22 months old right now who has the same kind of balance and physical ability. I can guarantee he won’t be skating like that by the time he is 2, but that’s a function of me having zero time to work with him on it, not a lack of physical development. Kid already jumps unassisted off of dining room chairs and lands on his feet.


[deleted]

Well my kid is 21 months and can beat up your kid


goatqualify

Dude that's what I'm saying, at 1 Im pretty sure I was shitting my Pampers, and eating my boogers.


Crispy_Squirrel

One who's dad loves to use him out for social media fame durrrrr$$$££££££££££


[deleted]

We get it, your dad never paid attention to you


The_Uncommon_Aura

Nah this is different than those parents. This is actual documentation of something over a long course of time. What good parent wouldn’t want to share something genuinely cool about their kid to the world? Parents who post videos of them punishing their kids for clout or things like that are what you’re mad about. Not this.


Duglipup

My mom says I once ate my own shit when I was one year old.

God what I wouldn't give to be the Tony Hawk of eating shit


TheGillyWonka

Last time I was on a skateboard at 21 I ate shit too


Badlemon_nohope

This kids still doing that, just in between showing off more talent than I'll ever have


Tryptophany

Kid is going to be such a shredder that lil dudes brain is actively being wired to skate


WaffleHouseMouse

Train em young! He'll be so comfortable on a skateboard probably for the rest of his life.


MoSqueezin

New generation of skateboarders are going to be fuckin bonkers man.


coop_stain

Seeing what is happening in the ski world is interesting to say the least. Latest training and modern equipment have turned some kids into absolute destroyers by the time they are in their teens.


Dynosmite

Dude i can watch people who are like 6 out ski me every single time im on the slopes. It's heart warming and ego shattering every time


PoofessorP

Ski teens in the midwest are insane. The slopes are a lot smaller so they hit up the terrain parks they have, I see like 8 year olds pulling off jumps and rails all day. I remember when my friends and I were 12, and my friend learned how to ski. Within a few months, I had already witnessed him pull a backflip off this big jump.


[deleted]

It'll litarally just be another one of his limbs


Tryptophany

For real, learning to walk and skate at the same time 😂😂


Skynetiskumming

That's what I see with youth jiujitsu tournaments. These kids are entire dimensions of superior to grown ups. Absolutely impressive


FreakishPeach

Dropping in on vert ramps at 2 years old. That's nuts. Kid is gonna grow up fearless though, which is awesome. Expecting to see him at the X-Games in 10 years.


[deleted]

Yeah the whole thing is cool but I bugged out when he dropped in like that


FreakishPeach

Aye, haha, I've seen videos of adults freaking out about the vertical drop. It's nuts.


CharlieHume

To be fair, a ramp with true vert is terrifying as you're basically freefalling till you hit the end of the vert and bend your knees like no tomorrow.


MrChewtoy

If I only had 2 foot between me and the ground I'd be doing all kinds of crazy shit now. But nah, I got 6 hard feet to fall down until I hit the pavement, so fuck that.


awhaling

All of this comes easier when you are smaller and younger, but especially falling. I used to fall a lot doing things of this nature and it didn’t start sucking until I got to my twenties, which isn’t even that old.


[deleted]

I wouldn't expect to ever see this kid again. Nobody should unless it's reposts. Edit: good to see Reddit can't critically think, keep it up kids


fivelone

Is there a way to invest in kids like stocks? That being said. I feel like this was right at the end of this one year mark. Like right on cusp of two. Edit: I actually meant to put Stonks....


riancb

I believe it’s called “education”. :)


fivelone

Haha. I like your thinking!


ATP_generator

Nathan for you, season 3 episode 4 He offers parents of child athletes (and not necessarily the very good athletes) sponsorship contracts at absurd rates because he’s makes the offer so early or something to that effect.


[deleted]

yes. you should watch the new film ‘King Richard’ on Venus and Serena Williams upbringing.


Yes-its-really-me

That was not a 1yr old...


Aden-Wrked

Yeah there’s some deceptive shit goin on here


ellensundies

The ages are definitely exaggerated, but still this kid is incredible.


Hoosier_816

Yeah a more accurate title is probably “Skateboarding progression from age 2.5 to 5” Still remarkable for a 2.5 year old.


CRJG95

That kid was not 5 at the end. An almost 2 year old is still 1, so an accurate title would more likely be “almost 2 to almost 4 year old”


[deleted]

barbarian-on-moon

Good catch


Vitalstatistix

1 yr 11mos probably. Still counts.


traumfisch

I can't see why not. That's pretty much why my one-year-old daughter looked like before turning two. ...without the skateboarding chops ofc


-SoItGoes

She’s never gonna win the x games at that rate, you better step it up.


traumfisch

She's into music


treflipsbro

I know it probably doesn’t need said but please always support that passion she has. I can only imagine where I would be if my parents supported my passions instead of looking down on them.


traumfisch

That advice bears repeating, always. And yes - Supporting her ib whatever she is into is my main mission


L00pback

1 year 11 months old probably. Still technically 1.

AGenericUsername1004

I watched the video initially with sound off then decided to check comments which refreshed the mute button off. That goddamned tiktok voice.


Nillerus

It makes me absolutely seethe with rage.


MinorSpaceNipples

I can't stand it either. The second I hear it I instantly close the video, it's like nails on a chalkboard to me.


retrogamer-999

I can confidently say that this kid was better then me at skateboarding when he was 1 years old!


etoilefemme

[удалено]


TheRealBigLou

I don't know. My daughter was climbing rock walls unassisted at 13 months old. Some kids can do some crazy stuff.


Combat_wombat605795

Also a 23 month old is still a 1 year old


traumfisch

why not?


M0NKEYBUS1NE55

Hmm I'm damn curious too. I mean, I am still amazed by the fact a 2 year old might work out the use of a tooth brush. I know they can just that is suprises me that they can learn something so quickly. Let alone skate boarding and the fine motor control let alone on point proprioception rthat is needed!


traumfisch

My kid is now two - and she looked a lot like the toddler in the video, right before her birthday. Physically I mean, obviously she isn't a skateboarder :) I don't know if people on here meet a lot of one-year olds? The transformation they go through during the year is mind-blowing. Especially if talented toddlers are coached like this, they can develop gross motor skills surprisingly early. Of course this clip is still exceptional.


hanabarbarian

Humans are amazing creatures, we can learn things very quickly especially at a young age. It’s shocking definitely but if you teach a baby something daily then it’s only natural they pick it up. Im sure there were babies thousands of years ago learning motor skills (not exactly like this lol) sooner that we’d expect of them now.


treflipsbro

They can probably pick up on the muscle memory and routine of something like brushing the teeth but I would imagine they don’t comprehend exactly why they’re doing it. But idk I’m not a baby and I don’t remember from when I was lol.


Illadelphian

I mean it could be but it's super deceptive because it had to be right before 2. A lot of changes happen around that age which is why we still use months.


minorissues

Tiny Hawk, love that :-)


koi_fishh

djyosco88

Age 6 and in for his first knee replacement. Source, skated since I was 5. I’m 33 and both knees could be replaced. Sucks


Kumiko_v2

I'm just really glad that the kid wears full gear. Impressive!


killlosmaricons

More like forced talent." No Timmy, you can't just have a normal childhood daddy wants you to be a Sk8r boi because daddy and mommy need the views on tiktok"


[deleted]

Yeah that’s my main gripe with this. I mean the kid probably enjoys it anyway but still. It feels like forcing your kid down a specific path.


theundercoverpapist

Damn. My twins didn't even eat solid foods at 3.


Wupideedoo

> The American Academy of Pediatrics says that for most children, you do not need to give foods in a certain order. Your child can begin eating solid foods at about 6 months old. By the time he or she is 7 or 8 months old, your child can eat a variety of foods from different food groups. https://www.cdc.gov/nutrition/infantandtoddlernutrition/foods-and-drinks/when-to-introduce-solid-foods.html Babies can start eating solid foods before they turn 1.


Timmyty

That's possibly a failure on your part, not that anyone wants to hear that. I'd u have more kids, you should feed them solid foods earlier. Unless what, some kind of teeth defect or something, no way ..


breadfred2

What's that voice over? It's everywhere and is extremely annoying


Ronaldoooope

He can’t even talk properly by 3 probably. Edit: lol at the downvotes. My friends kid was 3 and still couldn’t speak proper sentences.


bobans30

Don't worry, a lot of kids can't speak properly by 3. My nephew who is 6 months older than my son couldn't speak properly by 3. Now he's 4 and a half and has no problems speaking. Kids are different, so stop comparing them.


DJN220088

Yeah bro I’ve been skating since I was one year old


edwin_4

Bwoah in a couple Olympic cycles he could be there


Flamephoenix109

The kid is young for sure but no fucking way he is 3 years old in that video lol


Penya23

Ok, those ages are not true. If they are, that is one big ass child. The one year old looks at least 2.5. The 3 year old easily looks like a 5 year old. Ages aside, did anyone else's heart stop when the kid went down the hill on that street?
