I do. You haven't met my uncoordinated children.

Okay that is fair. Mine were fully capable of making that run. They spent their lives outside looking for ways to get

Sure

That’s seriously insane. Might be the most athletic kid I have ever seen that age.

What the h does an iPad have to do with owning all of that ninja equipment?

toukokuu

11:28am

And probably great genetics.

RootieBoy

11:28am

And good outdoors weather to do it in.

scall

11:29am

Probably?? Most kids couldn't do that no matter how much they trained

Schultz is back

Dad's probably recording with one.

John Doe

I've never given any of my kids iPads. Nothing even close to that has happened.

toukokuu

yep

That just might be the coolest thing I've ever seen.

Pff. My kids can do that. On the ipad.

That's cool. His dad is setting him up for bilateral rotator cuff tears by age 17 along with a bunch of arthritis in the

BIG XII Coug

Yes. Overuse is a huge problem

Iman23

yeah I don't believe that at all. My generation out of class of 3rd or 4th graders (assuming the kid is about that age)

I have a friend that is a paraplegic who has bilateral rotator cuffs tears at age 30 from his wheelchair

SJS

Sure it is, but is it a fact that this child is going to suffer from such injuries?

DJROSS

11:49am

He’s at a much higher risk for sure.

SJS

11:50am

I believe that is what Big XII Coug intended to say, but the ego is a difficult master. Now he is even less

Yeah occasional tennis and a mean curve ball isn't the same as 2-3/ hour daily training, propelling yourself by your

I played competitively in the US and in Europe. I also spent quite a lot of time in martial arts gyms. As a kid I was

I'm sure you spend much more time evaluating injuries, medical causation and reading journal articles on medical

Sure let's use your bona fides as the way to shut it down. You could be the number one diagnostician of such injuries in

“I played tennis so I could have done an American Ninja Warrior course” is certainly a take

I'm about your age and I definitely have some wear and tear...

m0resn0w

12:11pm

That might be due to another activity hahahaha

DJROSS

Rotator cuff injuries or diabetes. Take your pick.

Brisco

11:45am

I'll take false dichotomy for 500.

BIG XII Coug

11:49am

But you already cleared that category with your initial statement.

DJROSS

11:53am

Pretty sure you don't know what that means.

BIG XII Coug

11:56am

Now you are taking this personally.

DJROSS

Has overweight children.

Tesla Coug

12:08pm

I agree with it in principle, but a very small percentage of kids could ever do what he did regardless of how much time

Bar7h

11:34am

Also, that kid is going to peak at 12

letthewookieewin

11:35am

Maybe, the kid did look unnaturally buff. I hope the dad isn't injecting him

BlueFever

11:35am

What are you basing this on? As children we would use the monkey bars all the time to see who could do the most passes

DJROSS

11:48am

I think most of us raced across stumps, skipped as many monkey bars as possible, and had other similar contests

Bar7h

12:11pm

I would take that bet in a heartbeat.

DJROSS

12:24pm

I hope ARod already offered the kid...

We'd time ourselves running around my house. Ha ha! Yup. One of my buddies ...

Hey brother I agree with you wholeheartedly and I am getting my nose chopped off in this thread for clarifying it.

DJROSS

12:15pm

My kid could never touch an iPad and not be able to do that.

spugeddy24

11:56am

How old are your kids?

tarzan15

12:13pm

Interesting perspective. Are my kids too old to have ever received an ipad? Well ipad's came out in 2010 and that was a

DJROSS

My kids have tablets AND have been involved in dance, tumbling, gymnastics,

benny1982

That is a fair criticism, however I was specifically meaning my 3rd and 4th grade classes as I knew the boys in

DJROSS

1:14pm

I still have doubts. I think you're underestimating how difficult stringing

benny1982

I get that you have doubts. I am thinking about the entire process where you leave that in a school yard and let kids

You're not that much older than I am.

This kid is genetically gifted, it's not just "hard work outdoors"

CSoul

So your kids didn't have ipads... but they had xbox and playstation

tarzan15

So many of you missed the point of this thread. The point is, if kids didn't

There is no evidence of that either. Half of my friends growing up didn't have Internet or computers

I don't disagree with this either
