Good luck mate! They aren't called Impossible for nothing you know. I have only ever seen them been done once, and that was when I went to a skate park near me and some really good guys were showing off their tricks and one of them did a Impossible. You need to have a very fast foot to push the board all around your leg before you hit the ground. They ****ing rock if you can land them, I was so impressed by that guy who landed one.

You need to scooop it like a 3flip but some how get it to go around your leg/ankle.(pretty fast too.) Very hard. My friend tryed to teach me but i couldnt get them down but i could spin them and such.

I hate them. I've done 360 flips for so long that learning an impossible really seems impossible. Good luck with them. What you have to do is pull your front foot off, lean way back, scoop the board with the back foot and swing it around in a clockwise circle. They are ridiculously ugly, though.

I used to be able to land like 1 out of 20 back last summer before basketball season started. Now they're a thing of the past. IDK why i was able to do it, i guess it came more natural to me than others or somethin. It is difficult though. Really fast scoop and the spin of the board around your foot was "impossible" for me to get consistent. Good Luck.

Wow. Impossibles are one of my most consistent tricks. I have trick tips for two variations on my site: http://www.geocities.com/aronsamma/tricktips.html . I wrote them right after i learned them, so they might not be the absolute best way to do them, but they worked for me.

Rodney Mullen does an Impossible, to Nose Manual, Nollie Impossible out in Almost - Round 3.

This is also one of my most consistent tricks. I think once you learn the technique, it is so easy to do repeatably. By the way, that is possible the best and most comprehensive trick tip for an impossible I've ever seen, and I couldn't have said it better myself.

landing is very tricky, often times my feet end up literally side by side....just try to be more conscious of where your feet are relative to each other.

Are you trying it moving? I think that is easier than standing still. Also, try to jump forward a little bit, that should help you get both feet on the board.

I have landed a few, but that was when I worked on them for a full day. Now I can only land one out 20-30. They use alot of energy and concentration, way more than tre flips. I practiced the foot movement on the trampoline with a deck, then all I had to do was pop, do what I did on the tramp, and land it. If you have a trampoline try that.

Impossibles are the second most godly trick I've ever seen...I love 'em, and I'm still tryin to get them down but it's so freakin hard to get the spin once you've popped the board. Doing them freestyle is easy. Oh, the first most godly trick would have to be a 360 flip (or a 540 flip, but I've never seen one of those in real life).

Scoop your back foot like a tre-flip. Get your front foot out of the way so you board and flip freely. If u get it right the landing is easy, the board will come back under you perfectly.

Sweet, I hope I start landing them soon. I've only tried them a few times...but now I'm going to put that as a top priority.
