Grabs
Custom Search
Most grab tricks are similar. For example, all the basic grabs (indy, nosegrab, melon, tailgrab) involve getting air or ollieing high and letting the board come up to your hand. For tailgrabs and melons, kick your front foot out to bring the tail up. I will be discussing the more advanced grabs and only listing the basic grabs.
Nosegrab: A grab where your front hand grabs the nose of the board.
Indy: A grab where your back hand grabs the middle of front side of the board.
Tailgrab: A grab where your back hand grabs the tail. For this just get a lot of air and a really boned ollie.
Melon: A grab where yuor front hand grabs the back side of the board in the middle. For this, get a lot of air and a boned ollie.
Stalefish: Like a melon, but with your back hand reaching around you to grab the back of the board.
Airwalk: Do a nosegrab, then kick your feet out to the side and bring them back in. This trick takes a lot of practice.
Judo: This grab is difficult. Do a nosegrab then kick your fron foot out while keeping your back foot on. Bring it back in for the landing.
Benihana: This trick in my opinion is the hardest grab. It's a tailgrab with your back foot coming off the board. For this you need to pop the board, get you back foot off, then kick your front foot out. This should bring the tail up to your back hand. Grab the tail, then push down and put your back foot back on the board. This will take you a long time to perfect.
