JUSTIN TODAY I LEARN IMPOSSIBLES by Braille Skateboarding is a skateboarding tutorial for the Bigspin Impossible. A real-time coaching session where Aaron Cairo talks a friend through learning impossibles for the first time, comparing the trick to a pressure flip you commit to fully instead of stepping off partway.

What this video teaches

A real-time coaching session where Aaron Cairo talks a friend through learning impossibles for the first time, comparing the trick to a pressure flip you commit to fully instead of stepping off partway. Surfaces live in-the-moment fixes: switching the back foot from a flat to a pressure-style position, and correcting a board path that drifts toward a kickflip rotation instead of wrapping heelside.

Key tips

  • Think of the impossible as a pressure flip that you commit to and let keep flipping instead of stepping off partway through
  • Switch your back foot from a flat placement to a pressure-foot position, angled into the tail rather than sitting flat across it
  • If the board keeps doing a three-shove instead of wrapping, it's turning in the kickflip direction rather than heel-flip direction, correct the foot angle to fix the rotation axis
  • Push for maximum wrap by scooping as vertical as possible rather than settling for a flatter, shove-it-style rotation
  • A weak, barely-there wrap that looks like a plain shove-it is a common beginner result, keep working the scoop to get closer to a full vertical wrap
  • Landing primo or jumping back onto the board after landing means the scoop needs more commitment, not less
  • Have a solid kickflip and frontside shove-it before attempting this, the pressure-flip foundation transfers directly
  • Expect the trick to take repeated attempts in one session before it clicks, adjust foot pressure incrementally between tries
