This reminded me of the orangutan driving a golf cart: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DJsn1QivbKM

He has mastered it. He clearly understands the concept of roads vs sidewalks. He can drive using one hand. And most importantly, he obviously has a great time doing that.

Maybe skateboards are just instinctual. Anyways, here's a tiny turtle on a skateboard.

Instinctual is not the description I'd personally agree on, I mean just look at this

Haha, I basically barged into here ready to post a video of Greyson. Amazing stuff, I'm surprised more people haven't been successful (or interested in) teaching their dogs ride stuff.
