Budding Skater Celebrates 'Finally Nailing' Ramps After Olympic Inspiration

A proud dad has shared footage of his 10-year-old daughter “nailing” the ramps at a skatepark in Gateshead, England, after she was inspired by the feats of young boarders at the Olympics.

David Maguire recorded the footage of his daughter Alice honing her skills at Beacon Lough Skatepark.

On Twitter, Maguire said, “She’s been inspired by the amazing young Olympics skateboarders, some of them just a couple of years older than her.”
