8-Year-Old Sky Is The Youngest Girl Skateboarder To Ever Compete At Vans' US Open Pro Series

She may only be 8-years-old but Sky Brown from Miyazaki, Japan recently became the youngest ever girl to skate with the pros at the Vans US Open Pro Series. Not even in double digits in terms of her age and she's already a pro skater, and it hasn't been going unnoticed online either.

The YouTube videos of her shredding, skilling, and generally slaying when it comes to skating like someone twice or three times her age, have become huge hits and amassed many views.

Sky comes from a family of skaters though, and her preschool even has a skatepark. Her five-year-old brother, Ocean, is also pretty fly on a skateboard.

Just to make you feel even more inadequate, Sky is also an accomplished surfer, posting videos of both her skating and surfing exploits to Instagram and her YouTube channel.

In fact she's been skating since she was three and surfing since she was four. "I’ve been going to skate parks with my dad ever since I can remember." she told the blog Girl Is Not A 4 Letter Word. |It[’s] always been way more fun for me than regular parks, I just prefer ramps and bowls to swings and slides they are just sooo much more fun. I love going really fast on my skateboard especially in a bowl, being able to pop high and getting new tricks down."

You can check out her (and her little bro) in action below. Head to her Instagram and YouTube for more.

Sky, with not a worry in the world. This is easily her fav thing to do. Having fun simply trying to get a little air, floating, content and free, this is where she is most comfortable. #girltime #airtime #7yearold #sky Captured on her new GoPro Hero4 session..
