Meet the six-year-old skateboarder who can do advanced tricks and towering 15 foot drops and even out-shreds his dad.
Brody Alexander Dodemont, known as ‘Tiny Hawk’, first got on a skateboard aged 19 months.
He progressed quickly and is now able to do advanced tricks such as pop shove it - where the rider pops the skateboard in the air and makes it spin 180 degrees horizontally - and hits the skate park five hours per day.
Proud dad Shayne Dodemont, 37, a bartender, from Sacramento, California, US, said: "Brody's skateboarding has gone from this wholesome adorable thing to it now being something he is now taking super seriously - but it only gets scarier as a parent.
"He is learning stuff way beyond his years.
"I love to watch the reaction at the skate park.
"Most of the time people don't think he can skate and just go 'aww' but once he gets on his skateboard everybody is just amazed."
Keen boarder Shane introduced Brody to skateboarding at just four months old - where he sat on it and played with the wheels.
At just 19 months old he started learning and by the time he was three he could do an ollie - where the rider jumps with the board sticking to their feet.
Having just graduated from kindergarten, he is now working on getting "big air" and doing "grabs" - grabbing the board away from the feet in mid air.
Shayne said: "It's pretty scary for me when I'm watching – he's jumping down some pretty big stair steps."
Shayne says his son's ability has now totally eclipsed his own.
He also thinks skateboarding is good for kids to learn as it teaches them valuable life lessons.
Shayne said: "So much of skateboarding translates back to life. It's all about picking yourself up and going again."
Shayne, who is Brody's full-time manager, says his son's first ever trick was a 'rock to fakie' - where you go up a ramp, balance, and then rolls back down in the opposite direction - which he landed when he was two.
Brody has now started going to school and is having to balance his education with his skateboard obsession.
Shayne said: "Everyone is always amazed no matter where we go.
"We go to parks up and down California."
Both Shayne and Brody share a dream of one day meeting America professional skater Tony Hawk - their mutual idol.
Shayne said: "I have a dream of a private session with Tony Hawk - our fan base would go wild."
Brody has so far managed to avoid breaking any bones, but has got some bad scratches and bruises and had hit his head a couple of times.
Shayne said: "That's the worst thing by far. It has crushed me when I've seen him hurt."
Shayne said he would love to support his son doing skating full time.
He said: "We'd love to go international and travel the world - but it’s not the most affordable things to do.
"As long as he continues to love skating I will keep supporting him."
Aside from skating, little Brody also has lofty ambitions to be a professional basketball player.
