What this video teaches
A short, no-frills tip focused on the two most common breakdown points when learning impossibles: the front foot getting stuck on the board, and the board falling away behind the rider. Recommends an exaggerated front foot position and trying the trick fakey as two quick fixes.
Key tips
- Get your back foot right in the pocket with toes hanging off the edge, angled slightly forward
- Scoop your back foot in one fluid motion rather than popping, this trick is a scoop, not a pop like a kickflip or 360 flip
- Exaggerate your front foot position, hanging most of it off the board, so it has less surface to get caught on during the flip
- If you are landing with your back foot in the middle of the board and your front foot stuck on the nose, scoop forward instead of straight upward
- Scooping forward instead of upward keeps the board underneath your feet instead of letting it drift behind you
- Try the trick fakey if you are stuck, the board has a more natural tendency to wrap back around your foot in that stance
- Slide your front foot out of the way at the same time you scoop with your back foot, the two motions happen together, not in sequence
