When it comes to skateboarding, Greyson's a pit bull with some serious skills. In this one-minute skate sesh video, Greyson rolls down a slightly damp neighborhood road on his one-wheel skateboard to the tune of Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles." The chill pit eases around curves and stops almost effortlessly at the very end without a hitch.
"The fact that he can turn and knows how to slow down on the speed bumps is insane," said one impressed viewer. Their comment alone got nearly 550,000 likes. No wonder the video's been viewed more than 73 million times. As one viewer perfectly summarized, Greyson was truly "born to ride."
Greyson's a real Tony Hawk
There's Tony Hawk, a famous human skateboarder, and there's Greyson, pit bull skateboarder extraordinaire. His entire TikTok is dedicated to his many rides all over his neighborhood and beyond. If you're wondering how Greyson began riding skateboards better than humans, it seems that for this doggo, practice made perfect.
A pinned video from Greyson's account shows the pit and his sibling's progress "after months of training," according to the TikToker. Older videos show Greyson finding his footing and jumping off of his skateboard when he's having a hard time. These days, though, Greyson rides pretty effortlessly on just about any terrain; even cobblestone! He and his dad even made a cameo in New York City, coasting smoothly in the famous Times Square.
Now, if you want your dog to learn to skateboard like Greyson, training can start with just one paw and a board. Use positive reinforcement training to encourage your dog to place one paw on the skateboard, then two, then all four paws once they're comfortable. From there, your doggo can learn to move on the board, but be patient and go at their pace. Soon, your pup might be coasting in a viral TikTok just like Greyson!
