[edit] Salabanzi Flip

This line needs to be changed: "Bastien Salabanzi also created the Salabanzi flip, a trick similar to the kickflip, but the rider lands with their legs crossed. It can be seen on the start of Salabanzi's segment on Flip's Sorry Video."

Bastien did not create this trick. It is an old freestyle trick that was first performed in the late 1970s. Later, in the early '80s it became the kick-flip crossfoot. It is only called the "Salabanzi flip" because skaters are ignorant of their past. Maybe change the line to say Bastien popularized the trick? Steve-g 18:06, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Changed the wording up. --Liface 23:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
