Kelly Sildaru, Finn Finestone, Aspen Spora… hang it up, you’re over the hill. Competition is fierce in the world of freeride skiing and snowboarding, which is why you best get to it at an early age. When did you first learn to pizza and french fry or cloverleaf to the bottom w/o spraining a wrist? At the age of 4, maybe 3? Ha, that’s nothing. Meet Ava Marie, 1 year old, born to shred. Perhaps barely nimble enough to walk on her own yet has enough balance to glide and stop on a snowboard. I wouldn’t be all that surprised if she has already inked a deal with Burton – can you sign with finger paint?
What’s next for Ava? How about something more practical, like potty-training (no, that’s not a new trick). I think she wants pow like the rest of us – she’ll be thigh deep with just 6” – jealous! Actually, I think I saw her boosting out of the Super Pipe a couple days ago (I’ll try to poach some shots). Actually, what’s next for Ava is snowblindness if her parents don’t get her some eye protection. Oakley?
PS: You haven’t seen this video!? Where’ve you been!? This thing has over 1.2 million views on YouTube! Already seen Ava shred at age 1? Watch Ava shred at age 2 (getting that sponsor-me reel going at a young age, aren’t we).
Rad! Hey little girl, want some candy
from cute to creepy in 0.03 seconds
I love how in some of the shots you can see adult beginners sitting on ground, just watching her. You know they’re thinking, “thanks, now i really feel like sh#t.”
This is adorable!!! But I’m a little concerned that the helmet doesn’t appear to be covering her frontal lobe.
Or the fact that for a good portion of the video she doesn’t have a helmet covering ANY of her lobes.
Watch for pedo snowboard bear !!
no helmet…on a kid that cant talk…whos strapped to a snowboard…that cant control it…
what the fuck parents!?!!!
simma down! get back on your snowblades and enjoy yourself!
Simmer down the kid is hardly heavy enough to tip over the board,much less go fast enough to get hurt, and she was wearing a helmet.
So easy even a one year old can do it
get the kid some effing glasses.
