Meet the six-year-old skateboarder who can do advanced tricks and towering 15 foot drops and even out-shreds his dad.<br /><br />Brody Alexander Dodemont, known as ‘Tiny Hawk’, first got on a skateboard aged 19 months.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />"He is learning stuff way beyond his years. <br /><br />"I love to watch the reaction at the skate park. <br /><br />"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."<br /><br />Keen boarder Shane introduced Brody to skateboarding at just four months old - where he sat on it and played with the wheels.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Shayne said: "It's pretty scary for me when I'm watching – he's jumping down some pretty big stair steps."<br /><br />Shayne says his son's ability has now totally eclipsed his own.<br /><br />He also thinks skateboarding is good for kids to learn as it teaches them valuable life lessons. <br /><br />Shayne said: "So much of skateboarding translates back to life. It's all about picking yourself up and going again."<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Brody has now started going to school and is having to balance his education with his skateboard obsession.<br /><br />Shayne said: "Everyone is always amazed no matter where we go.<br /><br />"We go to parks up and down California." <br /><br />Both Shayne and Brody share a dream of one day meeting America professional skater Tony Hawk - their mutual idol.<br /><br />Shayne said: "I have a dream of a private session with Tony Hawk - our fan base would go wild."<br /><br />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. <br /><br />Shayne said: "That's the worst thing by far. It has crushed me when I've seen him hurt."<br /><br />Shayne said he would love to support his son doing skating full time.<br /><br />He said: "We'd love to go international and travel the world - but it’s not the most affordable things to do.<br /><br />"As long as he continues to love skating I will keep supporting him."<br /><br />Aside from skating, little Brody also has lofty ambitions to be a professional basketball player.
