David Legler, an impossible is where the board does a back flip sort of thing around your back foot (there are front foot impossibles to where it does the opposite). If you have ever watched mullen skate he does alot of them but they are real quick, any way heres a pic of one.

ON the tramp i put me old deck on it and play around like that, practice me wakeskating and skating. I can do impossibles like that. IN the near future i think they would be landed.

Fredrick_Eisenhauer,
i think i get how an impossible works now, but how do you get it started?

Fredrick_Eisenhauer · Posted: Sep 28, 2003 9:29 am Post subject:

Well i cant do them them on a proper skate board (take the trucks off is easier to flick around) but when ive seen them done they sort of get a foot under the front kick (fro regular impossible) and flick it back so it flips around your foot. With out the trucks its much lighter so you just push down with your back foot and it wraps around your foot.

Most street skaters actually ollie into impossibles, though, without hooking their foot under. If you hook your front foot under the board, you have to stop to do the trick, so it's not very functional that way.

i cant wait to see one of those in action, i can just imagine how cool it would look. i think for now im going to have to stick to some more simple stuff, i could barely get one around on a skate board, i dont see me ever doing it on a wakeskate!

Actually skatingguy thats not true. Yes you cant do it going fast but you can do it with a bit of speed. But it would take alot of practice. The extra flick with your fornt foot makes it easier to get around. Heres and impossible half cab (i think). He does have a bit of speed here.

how about this for a trick, itd be real easy, i just thought of it now. A sort of one footed manual, where you basically ride with the front end way up in the air and you only have one foot on the back of the board?

that sucks man
on another note david and i have found a new way to wakeskate in the off season, we dont have a tramp so we just use a bed thats got a lot of spring in it, i find that hotel matresses are the best! Laughing

sweet, i cant wait to go to a hotel again, my bed doesnt bounce much at all, it kinda sucks its real hard but im doin it as soon as i get a hotel room
