A video has gone viral in the last week of five year old Paige Tobin on a skateboard. In the video, she drops in to a 12ft bowl while wearing a princess dress with rainbow socks and a leopard print helmet.
People are praising Paige for her individuality. There are other videos on youtube where Paige is seen falling over and never giving up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bA8tZLKvV9g
