Dammit - your little Skittle motivated me to pull my board out from underneath my luggage and take a ride down the hall. Not happening. I ended up tripping on the stairs, nicking my balustrade on the way down! I forgot I don't know how to skateboard.
He makes it look so easy! Go Bryce.

Rock n fakies all day long. Backside grind around the corner. That frontside grind. Those things are hard. The blunt to fakie though. I'm scared to do those.
I find myself spending less and less time on the erBB, because most of the post are LAME. But its posts like this that keep me coming back. Groms rule, your kid rocks, and thanks for posting!

Awesome! It's amazing what kids can do when they're interested in something. My 4-year-old absolutely tears it up on his Razor scooter and bike...just yesterday he started riding one-handed...now he wants a skateboard...which he'll get on his 5th birthday...
But what's sort of funny is that he's not too interested in learning to swim. He loves watching surfing but I don't think he's made the connection between swimming and surfing.

And I know its the 'style' of the day, but can't dad make a few suggestions on pants other than tight bright colored jeans?
Kids always react positively to parents suggestions for clothes. I think the only way to change it would be if Dad wore them, then the kid would wear something else.

Quote: that's awesome just wondering... about how much time does he spend on his skateboard each day?
He's all over the place........
Sometimes he goes the entire week without picking up a skateboard, and then other weeks he'll skate anywhere between 30 minutes to 2 hours every day in the street or on his little 12" ramps and table tops, along with our 3' high quarter-pipe.
Lately, he's drastically increased the requests for a mini-ramp in the backyard.................
The 'usual' routine is this:
- During the week he'll hang with his sister and neighborhood kids, on our street. Every kid is on some kind of wheels - bikes, scooters, rollerblades, etc. Tanner Jr will usually opt to stay on a skateboard, but does like to hop on his bike and scooter quite a bit.
- On the weekends, he will skate various skateparks on both mornings between 1 - 3 hours. Sometimes he will want to do a double session and head to another park in the afternoon.
The funny thing about that is he's NOT ALLOWED in quite a few skateparks because he's not 6 years old yet!
I've posted before that this is entirely HIS deal, and nothing has changed.
Mrs Tanner and I have never and will never 'push' him to skate.
If he decides he's going to walk away from it tomorrow, so be it - all we want is a healthy and happy kid, and right now, he's VERY happy being a skater, so we will support it as best we can.

Quote: Can't believe nobody gave props on the 3 stair set - that's a big set for someone under 3 feet tall!
He had been eyeballing that 3 stair for quite some time - it's right across the street, at a neighbors house.
The 'problem' is that it has a really short runway, especially for a 5 year old
A few months ago, we were at the house for a birthday party, and Jr had skateboarded over. As we walked out the front door to go home, he had his helmet on and board in hand...........
He looked up and said 'Dad, I think I can make it'.
Before I said anything, he took off and landed it
He asked if we could film it, the next day, which is what we ended the vid with.

Geeeeezzzee!! Has it been that long since you first posted Bryce on his skateboard, nealry 3 years ago already?
I show'd this to Deb this morning and she asked, "is that the little boy you show'd me a few years back"? "WOW" is all she could say and she just had the biggest grin on her face.... as well as myself.
Mahalo for posting up his progress. It's simply, Wonderful!!

I could be guessing, but he probably doesn't even know what manuals and blunts are, and he's doing it fully from visual memory/copying lol. I wish I was 5

Believe it or not, he knows EXACTLY what Manuals, Blunts, 50/50's, Smiths, Feebles, Tailslides, fakies, fakie-rocks, kick-flips, front-flips, rock n roll slides, pop shove-its, handplants, boneless, ollies and nollies are (I probably forgot some other ones that he knows, too).
Obviously, he can't do quite a few of them, but he sees other guys doing them, remembers what they are, and has his eyes on them.
At 5, he still 'practices' all of these specific maneuvers with his Tech Decks - as seen also in his '3 Year Old Skateboarder' video

My wording was not good, but the above is what I meant. What I was trying to say is he doesn't think too much about it, he just sees other guys do it & does it.
Doesn't matter because he will be pulling all that stuff with ease in no time.

Hey, Tanner. Build a 4-5 footer and the dads can rip it too! TinyUniverse and I could help (not to volunteer him since I haven't asked yet). Tiny's son is a 5-year old shredder. My daughter is just starting to sk8 at 4. We know a good guy with mad construction skillz who would help build a ramp. We built one in my backyard about 8 years ago. Thing was epic for summer BBQs too!
