Introducing Victor, Northern Ireland’s Skateboarding Dog

Updated On: February 25, 2024 by   Ciaran Connolly

Lo and behold, a skateboarding dog! A break from the usual! Who does not love seeking a skateboarding dog?! When we saw a dog on a skateboard, we knew it was something special.

Training dogs is not too easy; depending on the owner’s skill, patience, and the dog breed. It can be fun to try and teach or train your dog to do some easy or fun tricks…so they and you can have fun together!

We were filming in Belfast and came across Victor — a bulldog on a skateboard — in fairness we saw Victor on our friend’s channel (Tom McClean) a few days before, so we were not shocked when we saw a bulldog skateboarding around the city.

One-year-old Victor visits the popular spot with his mum Maggie almost every day in order to get in a bit of practice. Unlike Maggie, Victor has shown a lot of promise in doing exciting and fearless activities outdoors.

Victor’s owner, Klara Kozubikova, originally from the Czech Republic, explained that Victor is completely self-taught in riding the skateboard, adding: “My Mum got the skateboard and he just picked it up by himself. He his very happy and this is just for fun.”

Enjoy the dog on his skateboard, good luck with the dog training and your journey to find things to train the man’s bestfriend.

A Tail of Talent

Victor’s journey to skateboarding stardom began like many others – with a love for adventure and a loyal companion. Rescued as a puppy from uncertain circumstances, Victor found himself in the caring hands of his owner, Liam O’Neill, an avid skateboarder from Belfast. Little did they know that their chance encounter would pave the way for an extraordinary partnership.

Liam, a seasoned skateboarder, spent countless hours honing his skills at local skate parks, pushing the boundaries of what was possible on four wheels. It wasn’t long before Victor, curious and eager to join in the fun, began showing keen interest in his owner’s pastime. Sensing an opportunity for bonding and adventure, Liam introduced Victor to skateboarding.

Learning to Roll

Like any new skill, skateboarding requires patience, persistence, and much practice. Undeterred by the challenges ahead, Liam patiently guided Victor through the basics, starting with simple manoeuvres such as balancing on the board and pushing off with his paws. It was a gradual process, filled with falls and fumbles, but with each passing day, Victor’s confidence grew, and his skills sharpened.

What began as a playful pastime soon evolved into something more profound – a shared passion that brought Liam and Victor closer together. Each successful ride strengthened their bond, forging a connection built on trust, companionship, and a mutual love for the open road.

Making Waves

As Victor’s skills on the skateboard improved, word of his talents began to spread throughout the local skateboarding community. Crowds would gather at the skate park, eager to glimpse the pint-sized prodigy as he fearlessly navigated ramps, rails, and obstacles with his own grace and style.

But it wasn’t just Victor’s impressive tricks that captivated audiences; his infectious energy and irrepressible spirit truly set him apart. With his tongue wagging and tail wagging in equal measure, Victor embodied the pure joy of skateboarding, reminding everyone that it’s not just about landing the perfect trick – it’s about having fun along the way.

From Local Hero to Global Sensation

As Victor’s popularity continued to soar, so did his reach, thanks in part to the power of social media. Videos of Victor shredding the skate park began to go viral, racking up millions of views and attracting the attention of skateboarding enthusiasts from around the world. Before long, Victor had become an international sensation, with fans as far afield as the United States, Japan, and beyond.

But amidst the whirlwind of fame and attention, Liam remained grounded, keeping Victor’s well-being and happiness his top priority. For him, skateboarding with Victor wasn’t about seeking fame or fortune – it was about sharing moments of joy and adventure with his best friend, one roll of the wheels at a time.

A Testament to Friendship

In many ways, Victor’s story is a testament to the unbreakable bond between humans and animals – a bond forged through shared experiences, mutual trust, and unwavering loyalty. For Liam and Victor, skateboarding isn’t just a hobby – it reflects their deep connection and the countless memories they’ve created together.

As they continue to carve their path through life, Liam and Victor are shining examples of what’s possible when we open our hearts and minds to the magic of the unexpected. Whether they’re rolling through the streets of Belfast or inspiring audiences halfway across the globe, one thing remains clear – with Victor by his side, Liam has found a friend for life, and together, they’re unstoppable.
