Tony Hawk is widely regarded as one of the greatest skateboarders of all time so naturally his daughter is keen to give the sport a go too.

The 50-year-old shared a video of himself teaching 10-year-old Kadence how to nail a drop-in, saying she was “overcoming her fear in real time”.

Kadence appears nervous to attempt the move at first, but with encouragement from her dad she eventually takes on the move – and lands it with aplomb.

Hawk said in his tweet: “I might have been more nervous than she was.”

The video struck a chord on Twitter, where it picked up more than seven million views in less than a day.

Another clip posted on his Instagram story showed Kadence falling during her first attempt.

And fans of Hawk were impressed to see his daughter conquering her fears – and him supporting her in doing so.
