Talk:Kickflip
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ummm... guys. I really doubt Rodney Mullen invented the kickflip in 1938... seeing as how he wasn't born yet and such. So someone ought to get on that case at some point.

Well I was wondering whats the record of kickflips because I can do a single, double, tripple, and a quadrupple, also I am gonna go try quincetupple today. By the way same about a varial kickflip I can do varial doubles and I'm gonna try a varial tripple today. So if you can please find this info for me it will be surely apprechated. Please email me at TaylorLenard@hotmail.com
If Steven Lewis really is a great skater like Mullen and Caballero, then surely Google would return some hits with keywords Steven, Lewis and skate (or triple flip)? Can you provide a reference for the triple flip claim? Tp 08:11, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
- Ouch. Don't bother with that Steven Lewis. Just checked the article history and it's plain old vandalism. Tp 07:45, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
I thought Rodney Mullen invented the kickflip, not Alan Gelfand, he just invented the Ollie.
[edit] Daewon Song & Quadflip
Can anyone produce any evidence that Daewon Song can perform a quadflip? A google search for quadflip yields only five results, about half of which stem from this article. GoodSirJava 09:17, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
- I googled around and found a couple articles talking about different pros that had done them. I don't think we should list them all by name, so I just took it out. --Liface 16:56, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Incomprehensible sentence
I pulled the following sentence from the end of the third paragraph, as I really couldn't make it out: "This can also be done by pushing to foot directly down and making sure to get the foot you have pushed the board down with out of the way of the spinning board." If anyone know what it's trying to say, could you rewrite it and re-add it? Incidentally, the "you" should come out: "making sure that the foot that pushed the board down is out of the way of the spinning board." But the "pushing to foot directly down" part has me scratching my head. Should that be "two feet", "the foot"; if the latter, which one?
I also removed the {{tone}} tag, as the writing seemed reasonable to me. It is, after all, a specialized vocabulary. -- Mwanner | Talk 19:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Variations
The last sentence says pressure flips are considered taboo in modern skating, that is not true pressure flips are used in flip out of boardslides which is an advanced trick.So I think some one should delete that sentence it is only the opinion of whoever wrote that paragraph. He was talking about the kind of "kickflip" where you ride down the street and kind of pressure flip the board and it more does a barrel roll on the ground then anything and usually moves about 2 feet behind you. That trick is garbage now adays.
