Talk:Benihana (skateboarding)

Untitled

The original article said that Andy McDonald refined this trick but did not define how. --Somebody

I find the claim that the trick was named after the restaurant very odd. According to Benihana, the word is Japanese for Safflower. It seems, to me, that the trick is more likely to have been named after the safflower, as the trick could resemble the appearance of the flower. I can't seem to find anything on the subject, though. --Vironex 00:16, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

This trick is named after the Benni Hannawald. A Skateboard-Pro of the 80´s of german origin. And I guess the guy who wrote this article doesn´t know anything about skateboarding except THPS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.201.70.124 (talk) 17:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

WRONG!!!

All that is explained here is a "tail grab", this is a "benihana" - Essentially a tailgrab, with the back hand holding the tail, while the back foot is taken off the skateboard and extended downwards below the board on the heelside. A vert grab trick that was once popular in street and flatland skateboarding as well...it should be changed.

Just delete the damn article. All the information is wrong, and the trick isn't even notable enough to have its own article. Just my 2 cents... Shreditor (talk) 22:38, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Nah, about ten years ago this was one of the biggest and most popular tricks around. This article also has some good sources/references.
