Talk:Ollie Impossible

(Continuing discussion from Impossible (Skateboarding trick) article: I do think that "backflip" is a less confusing description about the motion of the skateboard during an impossible than "scoops a skateboard vertically around his back foot a full 360 degrees". Whether or not that work has been used before in a trick tip does not matter at all. Tp 10:24, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Well, I guess you should have kept your 'backflip impossible' page then! The board rotates around the persons foot and leg... it doesn't 'backflip'. The word 'backflip' suggests that that skateboard is disconnected from the persons leg... and that the trick is out of control in some way. I think maybe the best thing for us to do here is to come to a compromise between the two descriptions, otherwise we'll be fighting forever.

Hey man! I've been doing these for 8 years now! Have you?

This page needs to be moved back to Impossible (skateboarding trick). Most skateboarders and regular visitors know it as an "Impossible" rather than an "Ollie Impossible". --Liface 01:16, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

No it doesn't. Searching for both for ollie impossible and impossible will lead you here.

Why was my link to an ollie impossible video marked as spam and removed? It's just a short clip on youtube showing the trick, no excessive advertisements or anything. Other trick pages have links to videos demonstrating them. Gofur 13:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
