Hands-free parenting: Victoria Beckham keeps her distance in the car while sons tear up skateboard park

By Daily Mail Reporter

Skater boy: Cruz Beckham showed off his moves at the skate park in Brentwood, California yesterday


It is safe to say that the skateboard park is not her usual hang out - pencil skirts and Christian Louboutins would look a little out of place on the ramps.

So it is perhaps unsurprising that Victoria Beckham chose to stay in her car while two of her sons Brooklyn and Cruz tried out their moves at a local park in Brentwood yesterday.

But the mother-of-three kept a watchful eye over the children from the driver's seat, and nervously bit her nails as little Cruz took a tumble.

Luckily, it wasn't a bad fall and the fearless tot dusted himself off and was tearing up the park again in time.

His quick recovery may be down to the Power Balance band he was sporting on his wrist. The silicone bands are favoured by his father David as well as a host of other celebrities for their 'healing and restorative powers.'

The boys were taking their new wheels for a spin after they were spotted the day before with David picking out new skateboards at a Burton store in LA.

Oldest son Brooklyn, 11, also showed off his boarding finesse, trying out some tricks while a male carer looked on.

Victoria' hideout may have been in an effort to keep a low profile, after 35-year-old David was surrounded by fans yesterday.

The footballer had popped out to pick up some cold drinks when he was spotted by some female fans who seized upon their opportunity to get a picture with the star.

Ever the professional, David obliged, signing autographs, posing for pictures and politely chatting to his group of admirers.

Despite the sport still having a relatively low profile in the US compared to favourite American past times like baseball, basketball and American football, Beckham has quickly reached the level of fame over there as he has in Britain.

And the Beckhams' star power is only set to rise as David revealed recently that they plan on staying in the US for the foreseeable future.

'Our boys go to school here. They're happy here,' he told the Los Angeles Times last week. 'As long as they continue to be happy here, my wife's happy here, then we plan on staying.'

Beckham even said he hoped to become a US citizen 'one day.'

'It would be nice,' he added, but said he would always be an Englishman.

'I'm English born and bred and that's the way I'll always be. I'm an Englishman, you know.'
