first impossible on film

Yeah man, it was ALMOST an impossible, just wrap it around your foot more and try to scoop it fowards more instead of toward your heels, and I think you should have a respectable one. Good job getting one that close though; you're definitely helping to progress the sport out there.

Cool trick? Yes. Hell yes!
Impossible? No. That trick you are doing is a very very hard trick. Very technical. Very cool to see it done on a wakeskate. But if you want to keep the skateboard dork “purists” happy- then you need to keep that back foot on the board at all times. Reference any of the old H STREET skateboard videos from the early 90s like hocus pocus… Matt Hensley DEFINES the impossible in that movie. If you want to keep the skateboarder’s happy- the do it like Matt Hensley! I love the trick and think it is cool. I say screw the skateboarders and wakeskate to wakeskate. Who care what anyone thinks about our sport and OUR scene.

Screw respect- have fun and keep pushing our sport…
Out-

Actually, I just looked at it again, that probably does count as an impossible, the camera just made it look more like a 360-shuvit; it's just an iffy trick in general, dude, it's hard to tell whether it's a "real" one though. Still, try to flip it a little more end-over-end so it'll be easier to tell what it is.

what are you talking about screw skateboarders. Wake SKATE, coming from the word SKATEboarding. You cant call something an impossible if it isn't one. That clip clearly shows its a 360 shuv, i still say it looked nice but if your getting all technical, that would be called a 360 shuv it. Otherwise that would be like calling a 180 a bigspin. They are different. I have nothing against you Greg and i think that clip was really good. Keep on wipping out those clips

WaKeSk8Er1234, ya i can kickflip, bill ment like to where if i fall its not normal, like how shovits are.

as for everyone saying its not a real impossible, did you read what i posted at the begining, or any of my other posts Question

if you did your a jackass for saying its not an impossible. first off i said myself that it is not the best one i have done, also i know that my foot was off the board and that is not how i normaly do them. and further more the board is much wider then a skateboard so it is very hard to keep your foot on the board at all times and have it spin exactly verticaly. think of the size different and how it is shaped, the board hits my shins and its hard to get exactly vertical. not to say that i cant do it becuase i will since everyone is talking sh*t about how its not real. i just think it is extreemly gay how i was all happy about doing something new and progressing the sport and thought everyone else would be thinking its sweet and i come home from school and everyones talking about how its fake. thats just lame. sorry i am trying something new and not just following the rest of the wakeskate world.

hey man, everyone has an opinion, and if you put a clip on a forum and say that it is something and it doesn't turn out to be what it is (even if you can do it), people are gonna say something

What the hell are you guys smoking i know its your opinion but that was an imposible!

wakeskater1234, do you even know what an impossible is, do you even skateboard? If you did you would know that it wasn't one. And watch a clip of a 360 shuv it and this clip of your impossible. They will look exactly the same. And for everyone else and greg its not a big deal, if you didn't want people to say that it wasn't an impossible then put clips on that are your cleanest or best. I mean if you actually did do an impossible I wouldn't have anything but since it isn't one, im still saying it was a 360 shuv it but it was nice and im just saying that because people are supporting the fact that they think it is an impossible, which is wrong. But like i said before i have nothing against you and i do belive you can do them, that just wasn't it

you guys are basically staying that say parks' did an o/a 9 and it wasnt to o/a then it isnt a 9, the damn thing is way beyond a 3 shuv, it is an impossible, it is not his best one, i have seen them, he does impossibles

stussy · Backside 180 Joined: 22 Sep 2003 Posts: 706

greg now your being ridiculous, just read you posts man, nobody is saying you suck or giving you every detail of what you did wrong. The thruth is that wasn't an impossible, if you want to accept that and get more footage to prove to everyone that you can do them , then do it. But dont start trying to make people feel sorry for you, no disrespect to you

well stussy i disagree with u there are like 3 ppl and thats including u that are trying to tell greg every detail that u think he did wrong but w\e Rolling Eyes
