An adorable clip shows a toddler from Indiana in the USA celebrating as he makes it down a slope outside his home on a skateboard for the first time.

The footage, which was filmed in October last year, shows Leo, 2-and-a-half, cheering and raising his hands in celebration as he comes to halt on the road outside his home in Valparaiso.

"I skateboarded from my early teens to my late twenties. I now have a lovely family with two young sons. The oldest in the video is just learning the joys of skateboarding," said Leo's dad.
