Skateboarding is a lot of fun and it is even more fun when you can land those amazing tricks like you see on TV. Sure, you will crash and burn a few times before you perfect them, but with a little practice you will be performing the following tricks just like the pros in no time! These tricks are designed for experienced skaters and not beginners.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

  • Skateboard
  • Time
  • Patience
  • Practice
Step1
To get ready for this trick you need to place your front foot on the board like you would for a kickflip and hang your heel off the edge a little bit.
Step2
To get ready for this trick you need to place your front foot on the board like you would for a kickflip and hang your heel off the edge a little bit.
Step3
The trick at this point gets a little tricky. You need to push the tail while moving your front foot so it does not get in the way and simultaneously kick your back leg out and away. Be careful not to pop the tail at this point, you just need to push.
Step4
Doing this will allow the board to flip up to your back foot.
Step5
Now, you need to pull your legs up and into your chest. Doing this will let the board clear your leg so that your back foot can carry the board around so that it won’t turn over.
Step6
If you find the previous steps too difficult, then start out by keeping your front foot on the ground as you perform the trick. This will help you get accustomed to the Impossible and be able to do it as outlined above.

Tips & Warnings

  • Another suggestion would be to watch your back foot if the board spins a flat 360. Don’t over sweep your back foot and you won’t have this problem.
  • You can get injured
