In this video, which was made to celebrate a snowboarder's adorable daughter's third birthday, a man proves that he just may be the coolest dad of all time.
As Steve Klassen from Mammoth, California, balances, Kinsley, aged two, stands on the board in between his feet, before he lifts her up to hold her under her stomach as if she were flying.
As he rides down the snow-covered hill, his daughter appears to be having the time of her life - even when he jumps up on the stair railing and scales it effortlessly!
At one point, Steve even holds his two-year-old up above his head.
Not to be left out of the fun, the world's coolest dad then takes a four-year-old girl, called Emma, out for a whirl.
As she flaps her arms like a bird, this talented snowboarder even demonstrates his unwavering coordination by tossing her into the air, spinning her around and managing to catch her all in one swift movement.
For several seconds, he also holds her upside down with just one hand.
But the real highlight comes when the man performs a full forward flip on his snowboard, while holding on to his little one.
And while it is a bit stressful to watch at times, the girls are clearly as thrilled as he is.
'This is fun!' Kinsley proclaims as she plummets down the hill in her father's arms.
This daddy-daughter snowboarding adventure was uploaded to YouTube by Klassen, who is also the owner of Wave Rave snowboard shop in Mammoth, California.
A legendary extreme snowboarding champion, Klassen dedicated his video to his little girl, adding that her 'adventurous spirit and teamwork have created an amazing and magical time' for the two of them.
He refers to their tandem snowboarding as pioneering, adding: 'Thank you for bringing this experience to my life. I love you with all my heart.'
Also written alongside the video, which has been viewed over 400,000 times, Klassen points out that while 'extremely rewarding,' tandem snowboarding is not a sport to be attempted with little to no prior experience.
