This story comes from the Mirror:
"A seven-year-old boy was delighted after he finally realised his dream of using a skateboard.
The footage of Joao and his mother was recorded at a skate park near their home in Brazil.
In the video, the young boy stands on a skateboard in a purple hoodie while surrounded by a metal framework to support his balance."
