Sending Your 5 Year Old Down An 18 Foot Vert Drop In For the Grams

[thefriscokid]

goddamn this is fucked, abusing your child for views

[rukes]

If you gonna push your kid to do stuff, push em to do something thats not dangerous AND pays well, like golf or tennis or computer programming.

I mean, if they like skatebaording, cool, build em a small mini ramp and show them nothing but Tom Penny miniramp clips maybe.

She couldn’t even axle stall after the drop-in... not sure what he’s cheering about.  I’d have made her get up there and do it again.

[bootscootboogy]

How tf are you gonna cheer her on after slamming the next wall? I’d be shitting my pants if that was my kids

[Mantracker]

My question is do any of these kid/parent combos exist without the social media presence?

Is any parent allowing their 5 year old to do this undocumented and NOT for clout?

didnt think so.

I look at it the same way as this incident.

“ Spano was 15 at the time of the 2008 Massachusetts gun expo and was put in charge of allowing people to fire the 9 mm Micro Uzi, a submachine gun that fires 20 rounds a second.”

Further in the article it says this teenager’s dad was the guy putting on the show. So, yay responsible dads

It stops short of showing the kid shooting himself but view at your own peril.

Damn.. it looks like she dropped in on the 14' vert wall of the same ramp successfully two weeks ago.

Seems just a bit irresponsible as a parent. I get freaked out with my 6 year old daughter getting off the chairlift on her snowboard with me helping her. I can’t imagine letting her skate a vert ramp. Stupid.

That's kind of how Duffy got busted on Bob's Mega

[quesly]

I feel like there is a physics lesson here

[roomservice]

Won't be impressed until an egg that was fertilized 5 seconds ago does a 20 ft backside air on the mega

What about that dad that straight up kicked his kid off the deck? Now that’s what I call parenting.

[Jerrys Kid]

I like how the dad outed himself for losing an argument to a 5-year-old.

[radcunt]

My 5 year old wanted to drive my car and I said absolutely not but she put her foot down and now i'm grounded as she drives my Mustang to Mexico

probably less shameful than admitting he made her to do.



at least he was aware  enough to realize how shitty he would look if he tagged any of his i mean her sponsors in that one.

[veritas]

Those likes don’t come cheap, if you hit adulthood and can’t exploit your kids safety / whore them out for digital cool points then what’s the point of living

But seriously he should be investigated for child abuse by DYFS, that kid will be his insta guinea pig until she sustains some major injury

[el chino]

Kids shouldnt be forced into skating anything for the grams, at least for the ounce if its some good shit

[Sleezus Yikes]

Kids shouldn't be allowed to skate until they hit puberty

Can someone let Jagger Eaton know this?

exactly my 8 year old hit a pretty big dirt trail we have here and his first time doing one of the jumps instead of hitting his brakes and rolling it like I told him to he just sent it, he was o ly 2 feet in the air but I was literally crying I was so scared

there's a 5 year old kid nearby where i live that absolutely rips, i think he could do that roll in, but i'm pretty sure his dad would stop him. i haven't seen him skate 18 foot, but i've seen him skate 10 foot of his own choosing -  his dad never had anything to do with skateboarding and got the little dude a skateboard because he asked for one. he has taught himself and gone to some little group skate lessons, but has this incredible ability to just take skateboarding in - he very clearly just gets it. little dude is really happy, but really quiet, like, has no ego, just an awesome smile when he does tricks. it's just fun to him, he doesn't have instagram and he doesn't have sponsors - maybe the local shop gives him a discount and stickers. i imagine he'll be a phenomenal skater. i've never seen anything like it and i imagine it's very rare.

In 5 years skateboarding will be dirtbiking

They're definitely deleting negative comments. No pesky keyboard warriors are going to get in the way of endangering their child's life

[GuessAgain?]

Yeah pretty bad judgement I guess... Reminds me of a time when I witnessed a Dad egging his 9/10 yo kid on to drop on this pure rust bucket of a 10 foot ramp. The kid stood up there for ages literally shaking while his dad called him a wimp. Eventually the dad said if he did it he'd let him have a beer when they got home and the kid dropped in straight after.

Strange dynamic for sure, we were all perplexed.

said rusty ramp:

what a swell father. gifting daddy issues, skatepark locations, and his daughters age fully displayed for the internet to see.

take away the skateboard and it looks like hes pimping out his daughter. keep the skateboard in the picture and hes getting his 5 year old daughter "sponsors"

nothing about this shit seems innocent or naive

jagger's more a man than you'll ever be, fuckboi

[fredgallSOTY]

i skated pretty hard (on a much lesser level) at this age but...
1. i skated street
2. i wanted to skate big stuff (big stuff at that age was like a 5 stair)
2. there was no instagram
3. i was pretty tall for a 5 year old
4. my dad didnt know a lot of the stuff i was doing

looking back on it i can understand why something like this is fucked. while i'm all down for somebody naturally starting young, the skate coach thing is incredibly gross and exploitative. this makes me sick tbh. I have some lasting back issues for life because of the stuff i did young, and that was nothing compared to this. i really hope this young girl can find some safety and a life of her own.

[pizzafliptofakie]

Shame on him and shame on any sponsors/pros that encourage this kind of behavior.
