Talk:Skateboarding trick

message: I have never edited wikipedia before so I don't know the correct protocol or whatever but I had to say something, this article is terrible! it is childishly written and contains much inaccurate information. to be honest I get the impression that it was largely written by someone who got most of their knowledge from videogames.
in a sport where there is still disagreement over naming some of the most basic tricks, it is ridiculous to even consider splitting things up and categorising in such a definite way. at the very least it has to be mentioned that there is no standardised system of naming tricks. many groups and individuals have their own terminology, many people wrongly believe they have invented tricks, many people attempt to name minor tricks that people have been doing for years. 
this article needs to be flagged as unreliable  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.177.171.110 (talk) 01:11, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Criticism 

message: The first thing I'm going to do, if there are no protests, is move the freestyle tricks into the page Freestyle skateboarding tricks. These tricks are very different from their street and vert counterparts and thus should be on a separate page. This will make the article shorter and alleviate some stress. --Liface 01:31, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Splitting the article

message: User 72. 229. 175. 84 keeps vandalizing the page and I am getting VERY VERY VERY ticked. How can I Report him?
Can I block his access to this page, or  do I have to report him( Admin please respond.)Ollie the Magic Skater 02:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Constant Vandalism 

message: I propose creating a legend for the flip tricks.  It would look something like this:
*Board Flip:    
*Board Spin:    
*Rider Rotation:    
The flip field would have a heel/kick flip value, spin and rotation would have a frontside/backside value, all would have a degree value, and would be measured as compared to a stationary observer.  
ex:
360 Flip
*(text description)
*Board Flip: 360 degrees kick    
*Board Spin: 360 degrees backside    
*Rider Rotation: none    
Big Spin:
*(text description)
*Board Flip: none    
*Board Spin: 360 degrees backside    
*Rider Rotation: 180 degrees backside    
Or it could be broken down into parts of the trick:
Underflip:
*(text)
Part 1:
*Board Flip: 270 degrees kick    
*Board Spin: none    
*Rider Rotation: none    
Part 2:
*Board Flip: 270 degrees heel    
*Board Spin: none    
*Rider Rotation: none

message: I merged all the tricks into their own separate articles. This article is now a lot easier on the eyes. --Liface 18:24, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Everything merged!

message: I think this article should be called "skateboarding tricks" not "skateboarding trick" as in its present format it is a list of tricks. 
It is also wrong to state that most tricks are based on the Ollie, the list of Miscellaneous tricks in the article shows this. Skateboarding is at least 40 years old - Mullen didn't adapt the Ollie to flatland until the early '80s. Hawk was the first to ollie into grabs on vert and he was ridiculed for a long time. 
Maybe this article should be a general overview of the idea of performing tricks and a discussion of the slow progress from using skateboards as a toy and for transport, to the present day notion of 'tricks' within skating. Steve-g 14:33, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some Suggestions 

message: I have discovered a trick called "the crapper". This trick does not sound that hard but it is very difficult. First you must go up a ramp and when you are coming down from the ramp do two 360s, and then a kickflip. What do ya think? 12.73.121.92 21:43, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  the crapper 

message: This is a terrible page that needs to be cleaned up as soon as possible. I'm seeing a lot of gender-specific words ("grabs his board" mainly) and neutrality concerns ("is an essential trick to learn"), but the main deal is that the list of skateboarding tricks is on the same page as the section that explains what a skateboarding trick is. It's fairly obvious that this article should be split somehow, don't you think? Let's just move the list to another article, yeah?
I would have been bold and all that and done it myself, but the cleanup tag on the page told me to bring it here.

replies: text: I originally split it into all the different sections depending on types of tricks. How else would you recommend splitting it? I agree it needs a lot of cleanup. Over the past year I've done a lot, but I've just been too lazy to do it all the way because it's so time-consuming. --Liface 07:07, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  The list of skateboarding tricks should probably have its own page, is all. One can link to said list from this page under a "See also" header or something. --Burstroc 17:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I'd like to see the article split into two also. The first half of the article is good as each section links to a more in depth page. The second half, 'Miscellaneous tricks' needs to be put somewhere else, I think. Can any of those tricks be incorporated into other sections? Steve-g 17:03, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: Changed the gender-specific words in this article. Mostly "his back foot" to "the back foot" since the referenced "skater" is in singular so "back foot" can only be referencing the skaters back foot. Som "his" -> "his/her" thrown in for variation in the text.--Mnsc 13:37, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Cleaned up Flip tricks (skateboarding), Aerials (skateboarding), Grabs (skateboarding), Grinds (skateboarding) with respect to gender. Left to do: Slides (skateboarding) and Lip tricks.--Mnsc 14:16, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger (Backside stall) 

message: "Boneless" redirects here yet the word is not mentioned.  I think it should either be included or the redirect removed, though I don't actually know what the policy on redirects is. Matt 16:58, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Boneless" is explained on Freestyle skateboarding tricks as well as on Lip tricks, so I changed the redirect of Boneless to the former. --Angua (talk) 10:35, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
