HOW TO IMPOSSIBLE

What this video teaches

Jonny Giger puts the first step before foot positioning: stand beside the board and do a one-foot impossible (the circular scoop motion with just the back foot) until you understand where the weight goes before ever stepping on the board. He highlights that the most common mistake is scooping sideways (which creates a tray flip shape) instead of scooping STRAIGHT forward and up, and that the front foot should have almost no weight while the back foot carries the majority.

Key tips

• 1First drill: stand beside the board and do a one-foot impossible with just the back foot, 10 times per session, to get the circular motion and weight feel before committing to the trick
• 2Back foot toes hang off the heel edge of the tail (sometimes heel right at the opposite edge); front foot setup is similar to a kickflip position, slightly further back
• 3Most weight goes on the back foot; the front foot carries just enough to keep the front truck down but is essentially unweighted
• 4The most common mistake: scooping sideways (creates a tray-flip-like shape); the correct direction is STRAIGHT forward and up, which wraps the board around the back foot cleanly
• 5If you know pressure flips, the impossible will come easier because the weight-mostly-on-back-foot feel is the same
