Lipslide

ollie impossible

skateboarding trick which was first performed by freestyler Rodney Mullen in the early 1980s. The Impossible gained tremendous popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s (along with Pressure Flips), especially in street skating.

A trick which was named after someone said it would be "literally impossible" to get the board to flip end over end, the Ollie Impossible is performed when a rider "scoops" a skateboard vertically around his or her back foot a full 360 degrees, landing in the original riding position. A skateboarder may suggest that this resembles a close-kept, vertical 360 degree shove-it, but in any case the scooping motion is absolutely essential if the rider is to 'pull' the trick.

A variation of this once popular trick was the "Front-Footed" Impossible. It is performed by using the forward motion of the front foot during a normal ollie, combined with a downward angling movement of the front foot (pointing the toes down) and a swirling motion (counter-clockwise for regular foot, clockwise for goofy foot) to spin the board around the front foot and return it to original position. Due to the angles and degree of movement involved, this version was easier to perform when ollieing a short flight of stairs or small to medium sized "street gap".

The Ollie Impossible is no longer a staple trick in skateboarding videos or competitions. That being said, it is sometimes performed by veteran pros like Ed Templeton (a popularizer of the trick), and may be seen in contemporary videos such as Emerica's This is Skateboarding (2003).

Varial kickflip

A varial kickflip [commonly known as a "varial"] is a trick which is a combination of a backside Pop Shove-it and a kickflip. The board spins 180 degrees while flipping.

360 flip trick

Here the 360º flip trick, awsome!

pop shove it

A pop shove-it starts like an ollie: the skateboarder jumps up and kicks the tail down in order to get the board airborne but then also pushes the tail of the board to its side in order to get the board spinning. The rest of the trick is like in a normal shove-it.

During a pop shove-it the board gets higher in the air than during a normal shove-it and thus it can be performed while jumping over obstacles. Like any rotating trick, the pop shove-it can be performed frontside or backside, the directions being named in the same fashion as 180 ollies. Unmodified, the name usually refers to a backside pop shove-it.

Varial Kickflip, Varial Heelflip, and 360 Flip are all common tricks combined with the pop shove-it. In the case of the Varial Heelflip, it is a frontside pop shove-it, and in the 360 flip it is a 360 degree version of a pop shove-it.
