Tomahawk (snowboarding trick)

The article does not explain why the trick is notable as an independent article. Just because Shaun White nailed it in the Olympics does not mean the trick is notable for an article.

Normally I would have prodded it. However, I believe this one warrants some discussion as this may cause contention from Shaun White fanboy. I also think that tricks does not alone merit notability, although each needs to be examined individually. (Indy grab has an article.)

Also consider the redirect Double McTwist 1260.

Redirect and merge to List of snowboard tricks. It is plausible entry, and can be noted for having been executed by a professional athlete in a major competition. The target itself could stand a bit of improvement, but that is neither here nor there. Intelligentsium 02:50, 29 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
