Talk:360 flip

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I kind of winged it with the modifications that I made, since there was no previous discussion about it. List of what I changed:

Standardized capitalization (trick names all lower-case)

Updated description of the actual flip... more to come later

Fixed some informal language (cant [sic], it's, etc.)

Any additional information on the 360 flip would be great...

I'll look for some sources so we can get citations.

As far as Jason Lee & the 360 flip, I have a 411vm DVD that talks about it (Winter 2002, I believe)... I'll watch it and cite it if it is appropriate. --Nichenbach 21:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ellington & Reynolds

Also... why is there information about Ellington & Reynolds being the "masters" of the 360 flip? I think that claim is highly debatable. There's a lot of skaters with really clean 360 flips; Ellington and Reynolds don't exactly pop to the top of my head when I'm thinking of skaters with great 360 flips. I'm at work now, but when I get back, I think I'll take that part out and maybe replace it with something a bit more relevant (the part about frontside flips is also totally unnecessary). --Nichenbach 21:59, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, go ahead and change that. It's really a problem with many of the skateboarding articles on Wikipedia. Skaters tend to say "so and so is best at blah blah blah and has this style", but unfortunately we can't really cite any of that stuff. --Liface 22:06, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] YouTube links

This article is one of thousands on Wikipedia that have a link to YouTube in it. Based on the External links policy, most of these should probably be removed. I'm putting this message here, on this talk page, to request the regular editors take a look at the link and make sure it doesn't violate policy. In short: 1. 99% of the time YouTube should not be used as a source. 2. We must not link to material that violates someones copyright. If you are not sure if the link on this article should be removed, feel free to ask me on my talk page and I'll review it personally. Thanks. ---J.S (t|c) 06:58, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
