A motivational video of a girl trying to get her skateboarding skills right has left the netizens stunned. Former American basketball player Rex Chapman has shared the video on his Twitter account, leaving the netizens amazed. According to reports, the video was originally shared on the Instagram profile of the 10-year-old girl Fay Ebert. The bio says that her profile is managed by her mom.
The 32 seconds short video shows Fay jumping over a deck of skateboards, trying to make a successful landing. However, initially she is seen failing as she falls on the ground but she decides not to give up. Her hard work finally pays off when she is able to land successfully after 4 attempts. In the background, we can hear voices of other children, cheering and supporting her. During the end of the video, we see a slow motion version of her attempt at jumping over the decks and landing successfully.
If at first you don’t succeed.

Awesome 👏. Part of the reason she sticks it is because she’s wearing protective gear. Gives her the confidence and ability to keep at it! 🔥👍

It is so awesome that she knows when to ditch the skateboard as she knows the jump is slightly off or not going right. That takes great skill too. I landed on my back with my breath knocked out so many times because the board shooting out from underneath me on landing. Amazing.
