Why skaters like it

Posted as the reference for what a real Impossible looks like, whenever skaters argue over whether a trick counts as one.

“If the board wraps around the back foot, and comes all the way around, it's an impossible.”

[VIDEO] Even rodney mullen’s impossible is not perfectly vertical, y’all are getting caught up on stupid shit. If the board wraps around the back foot, and comes all the way around, it’s an impossible.

Watch this - [VIDEO] Its been posted here many of times. See the difference from "swinging" the shuv with your foot and actually making the board "back flip" not a 360 shov with help of your foot. I know this is fakie but its the same. Just assume he was going forward. Backflip vs 3 shuv spin with help. There is a difference.
