I see Walker Ryan do them quite a bit.

I've done them for 18 years, clicked easier than regular ones for me. It's a rare trick but I've met many people who could also do it and just never would, also it's made a little resurgence in videos recently (I guess a few years after the impossible resurgence it had to) but it's an especially hard one to throw down or over stuff which probably explains why you practically never see them unless sometimes on flat. Mullen was doing them nollie in Future Primitive and that was in 1985. If you doubt that such tricks have been done, then you're seriously underestimating what's been done on skateboards for the past four decades.

I can do them lol

Find them easier than regular ones actually, something about switch 360 pop-shuvits feels really natural
Took a while to include the impossible wrap/scoop though

Walker Ryan's are almost better switch than regular. John Rob Moore does em too I believe. As does my roommate somehow  :o

It was actually one of mine too. Ollie, nollie shove and 360 shove with no pop, pop shove, heel flip, switch pop shove, nollie impossible then switch 360 shove and switch impossible within my first few months of skating. I only learned reg ones like six years later. Could also do nollie and switch pressure flips / 360 pressure flips very early, when real switch 360 flips only ended up clicking for good at 30. Fake hard tricks most people just don't think of doing.
