Hoops aplenty

Check this kid out! 6 years old and racing around the basketball court like a demon.

About halfway through the video he makes 6 shots in a row. I'm amazed he can even throw it that far, let alone get it in the hoop every time.

It's obvious that he works very hard at his game, and that he enjoys it just as much. Hope we see him up in lights one day in the future.

Gerrrrrrronimo!!!

A three-year old jumping off the high diving board? Now THAT is one fearless kid!

Not naming names (I'm much too kind for that!), but some kids I know are still terrified of getting their head under water when they hit five or even six. Sure, everyone has to go at their own pace, but I'm a great believer in getting kids able to swim as soon as possible and that's not only because I'm Australian and swimming is a national religion here.

This kid gets a great big high five from me, not only for loving the water but also for showing a fearless determination to give something a go.

Yes, I think he can dance...

With all this 'So you think you can dance' hoo-hah all over the telly at the moment, I thought it was time for Enfant Terrible to put a word in. Or more correctly, for this kid to put a word in.

He sure is one of those kids who can move naturally. If you look at Michael Jackson when he was a kid, he was the same. A beautiful rhythm and an incredible sense of the capabilities of their own body. He's sure to be snapped up for a Kanye West film clip any day now, and he kicks those reality show contestants bums.

Cup stacking??

From the world of bog snorkeling and rolling cheese down a hill comes this crazy sport except, egads... it's actually taken off. Some company has marketed a 'Stack Mat' and there are kids all over the place practicing their cup stacking skills.

I don't know if this kid is champion of anything, but it looks fast to me.

I'm not sure that this is a cool thing for kids to do. I'd much rather see them riding dirt bikes and swinging off ropes into swimming holes. But if a six year old kid can do something that I could most definitely not do myself, well, the least I can do is glorify them with a post on the blog!
