There was a time when a video of a 6 year old kid linking turns would generate millions of YouTube hits. These days, if your kid isn’t doing double inverts by the time they reach their ninth birthday, your video posting is utterly meaningless to anyone other than you. A bit like wedding photos. No one else gives a shit.

Just imagine if your spouse/partner videoed all your lovemaking and then posted it online so that people could compare the size of your winkie/breasts to professional porn stars…

What’s more, can you imagine what it must be like to have someone filming you every time you snowboard? “No pressure Jonny, but you’d better do something pretty radical soon because the GoPro is running out of battery and this clip is going be too long to edit. Come on, jump. Come on, 360! Hit that rail. Don’t be a pussy!!”

By videoing and posting, not only are you heaping bucket loads of expectation on their little shoulders whenever they ride with you – you are then committing their exploits to electronic servers in the internet which will ensure their sketchy frontside 180 is available for the whole world to see, forever. Or at least until the world explodes because of an asteroid strike.

Just imagine if your spouse/partner videoed all your lovemaking and then posted it online so that people could compare the size of your winkie/breasts to professional porn stars. What a nightmare. That is what it must feel like to be a kid snowboarding these days.
