WOW. Usually the problem with today’s parents are they are too protective. This is a huge swing the other way.

It’s not like the kid even had both feet on the board and he just nudged him to get him to drop in (which is still a huge jerk move).

He just straight up threw his child off a huge vert ramp! I mean what the hell???
The fact a kid that young is even considering a ramp like that is rad. Someone should call DOCKS on this guy, seriously.

This is horrible. That ramp is pretty ridiculous anyway, I wouldn’t be dropping in on it myself. Lucky he landed safely because this could have ended terribly, even with all the protective gear on.

That’s just fucked up.

Crazy, what would have made this perfect if the kid threw the board at his dad after and hit him in the nuts.

What a dick. This kid is going to grow to hate skating because of his dad and as a result, will probably end up riding a scooter…

or he has just realized that falling from the coping doesnt really hurt that much and is no longer scared to drop in and will shred the hell of of that ramp.
Im not excusing the dads behavior at all though!!!!

It’s possible. But did u hear the sound that came off the kid?

I think it’s more likely he’ll be scared to death of it for a long time.

The sadder part is that he’s probably scared to death of his own father. This can’t be the first time something like this has happened to the kid. Real bummer.

That is just so wrong, who the hell and what the hell was he thinking.

What makes it worst is the fact that he just casually walks off down the ramp, not even looking over the edge to see if his kids alright.

Someone should do the same to him to see the negative impact his actions have.
