I mean, once your board has already flopped over and your back foot is kinda out in front of you, just guide it around the rest of the way more like a 360 shuvit instead of trying to make the board do an entire backflip. (I hope that made sense.)

Yeah, something like that, I don't know, it's a weird trick. Just find a good video of somebody doing it. Some of the ones you were doing looked pretty impossible-ish but it's hard to tell with the video quality.

ya once i get a camera around again ill post some of the f*cked up ones so you can see what i mean about the bad ones being 360 shovits. also ill try go get a better angle so you can see how the board is flipping better. but it is deffinatley going end over end becuase one time it popped up somehow and hit me in the jaw real hard. it was sweet it still hurts.

o and i think a lot of the problem with it looking like a 360 shovit is becuase the bottom of my board is dark blue now and the lighting is bad so you cant really see how its flipping as well as when the lighting is better. i watched all the video we took and there are ones where you can see better but its not as close

im gonna say that your impossibles dont look like skateboarding impossibles but they also dont look completely like a 360 shuv, it looks more styled out. So im gonna have to say thats the closest a wakeskating impossible is gonna look like. I like it overall, even if i dont consider it an impossible

When ever i try to do them i do the ollie and then straight away i push down with my back foot and take me front foot off and then when i see the bottom of the board i sort of pull my foot up if ya get me so it flicks it around more. (Keep in mind i cant do them and probably wont be able to do them fro some time)
