Three-year-old Arya Griffin is blowing the internets’ mind after video was posted on Reddit of the girl owning a six foot halfpipe on her first solo drop in.
This 3-year-old skater dropping into a 6-foot halfpipe is the world’s most extreme toddler
I’d be a nervous wreck if this was my daughter.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
The “griffkids” Instagram account is dedicated to Arya and her brother Ryder, who are the most gifted extreme sports kids you’ll find for their age. The Griffin family lives in Singapore, with their father Mark Griffin being a professional wakeboarder, so it’s in the kid’s blood.
So Reddit users expressed concern the kids were being pushed by their parents, but Mark appeared in the comments to assuage their fears.
“I cant make my daughter do anything she doesnt want to, believe me. Right now she loves skating and wakeboarding because thats thats we do as a family. My job as a parent is to support and encourage her as much as possible.”
Judging from the videos on the family’s Instagram page the kids legitimately look like they’ve loving every second of it — and they’re wearing all the proper safety equipment, so everything seems above board (sorry for the pun).
I’ll just be over here contemplating how a three-year-old is better skater than I ever was as a teenager.
