Ok, so the idea sounds cute, but the reality is somewhat more disturbing: some 'proud' parents have posted a video of their one year old baby daughter Ava Marie 'snowboarding' in Mammoth. Harmless enough right? Mmm, firstly she's on a board far too big her, with a ridiculously wide stance, that makes her knees look like they could pop at any minute. She's also not wearing any eye protection (her parents want to blind her as well as bust her joints) and no helmet for most of the video.
That said the tot does seem to enjoy sliding around, even if she can't turn. It's the whole 'sponsor me' tone of the video that is also a tad unsettling. What next? Parents chucking kids off kickers shouting 'spin to win son, gotta spin to win!' Shudder...
Watch the video after the jump...
Firstly, parents are told kids shouldn't snowboard till they're about 3 as their knees aren't
