INSANE 7 YEAR OLD HOVERBOARD TRICKS AT THE SKATEPARK!
When you trip and fall a typical reaction is to bounce back up, hide your embarrassment and pray that no one saw you.
Unfortunately that wasn"t an option for a young boy who came crashing off his hoverboard on live Australian television in Adelaide on Saturday morning.
The popular Christmas gift has been in the news a lot recently after it was discovered their batteries can explode, and this latest clip will do little to convince parents to splash out on one for their kids.

Despite recent recalls of the hoverboard because of exploding batteries, they were one of the most popular presents handed out on Christmas Day.
The controversial self-balancing machines were removed from stores around the world and even Amazon after reports of it suddenly exploding.
It is believed to be caused by the batteries used in the cheaper models of the machines made in China which are then rebranded before being sold in the U.S. and UK.
The potential fire hazard has led many major airlines to ban the gadgets.
Dubais Emirates Airline banned them from being checked in with luggage on flights because the batteries contain lithium.
In the U.S., the boards have been rejected by the countrys three biggest airlines American Airlines, Delta and United, according to USA Today.
Poorly labelled, powerful lithium-ion batteries powering hoverboards are the issue, Delta officials said in an online statement.
Delta reviewed hoverboard product specifications and found that manufacturers do not consistently provide detail about the size or power of their lithium-ion batteries.
Sam lunged forward and offered the boy a hand to get up as he bounced back off of the ground
The controversial boards have been banned from being used in public in Britain
People who did received the wheeled gift on Christmas may have to keep it at home anyway as bans are enforced in UK restricting where they can be used.
You cant ride them down to the local corner store to pick up milk any more according to British legislation that bans them from being used in public.
They can only be activated on private property and with the landowners permission, according to the Guardian.
On the other hand, in the U.S. the bards can be used in public and California has even gone so far as to pass legislation allowing them anywhere bicycles are allowed.
The cheaper models of the gadgets were also recalled earlier this year after many spontaneously blew up
In the most recent blow for hoverboards, television presenter Sam Mac was talking to the young Charlie about his Christmas present as he rode it around an open shopping area when he asked if he could borrow the gadget for a quick ride.
As Charlie turned to get off of the hoverboard and let Sam have a go, he fell off and landed on his back, much to the horror of hosts Edwina Bartholomew and Andrew O"Keefe.
Did you just push him off his own hoverboard? Edwina asked with a horrified expression as she giggled.
Sam lunged forward and offered the boy a hand to get up as he bounced back off of the ground.
Are you ok? Sorry buddy, Sam said as he put his arm around the boy, who was wearing a black helmet.
The boy brushed himself off and was not injured
Multiple airlines across the world have banned the hoverboard from being carried on board planes
