Grabs

August 04, 2003

Method: Tweak your body backwards and grab your skates with one of your hands. As you tweak backwards, you should grab your skates behind your back. If you grab your skate with the right hand, you should grab the left skate. Pull your legs backwards. Is done mostly when vert skating, because it looks dumb if the air is not vertical.

Mute: Bend your legs, and grab your skates with the opposite hand. You should reach over in front of your skates. For instance, if you are grabbing with your right hand, you should grab your left skate.

Indy: Like a mute, but reverse. If you spin counter-clockwise, you should grab your right skate with your left hand.

Rocket: Your legs are straight. Grab the skates with the same side's hand. For instance, if you are grabbing with your right hand, you should grab your right skate. In a crossed rocket grab, you grab the opposite side's skate.

Liu Kang: One leg is straightened out, while the other one is bend. You should grab the one that is bend with the same side's hand, and the bended leg should point as you where doing a rocket makio grind. For instance, if you are grabbing with your right hand, you should be grabbing your right skate.

Kung Lao: One leg straight. The other one is bend, and is grabbed on the outside boot with the same side's hand. The arm you're grabbing with should be on the outside of the knee. For instance if you grab with your left hand, you should have your left arm go on the left side of your knee, and grab the left skate on the outside boot.

Japan: One of your legs are more straightened out than the other, while the other is bend as much as it can. The one that is bend is touching the other leg, and that skate is also grabbed with the opposite side's hand behind your back. For instance, if you are grabbing with your right hand, you should grab your left skate. A sort of karate kick formation is done.

Judo: One of your legs are straightened out, while the other is bend. The one that is bend is touching the other leg, and that skate is also grabbed with the opposite side's hand. For instance, if you are grabbing with your right hand, you should grab your left skate. A sort of karate kick formation is done.

Flying fish: Make the formation of a rocket fishbrain in the air. Imagine yourself topside souling. Keep one leg straight and grab it.

Express: You grab the inside of the skate with the same side's hand.

Stiffy: Any grab where one leg is straight.

Stale: A variation to grabs. When you grab the wheels of your skates. A popular stale grab is the stale japan.

Stalefish: Grabbing the outside of the opposite skate.

Safetygrab: Grab your skate with the same side arm – that is when you grab your left skate, you should grab it with your left arm.

Unity Grab: Cross your legs, like you where about to do a unity grind, grab the skates with either hand.

These Tricks are so easy the only way that someone couldn't do one of these tricks is if their legs are broken or they are retarded.

Most of these are pretty simple, some of the ones that require leg extension (like rocket) I have some trouble with.

What about the cannon ball? Very Easy? Yes. Posted? No. :( Whats up with that?

Question. What is the grab where you arch your back, and then grab both legs behind your back with both arms? Right arm -> Right leg; Left arm -> Left leg. I've heard it called Rasta Pasta, and Flying Squirrel. I usually call it Rasta Pasta, because Flying Squirrel is a Snowboard/ Skateboard term. Is there an actual name to it?

No.Its called a unity.An abstract is when you basically do a unity only you do nothing with your hands.

Hey, ya!

I've done the Unity 520∞ now!

Cool! B)

But, I've to say, the normal grabs without a spin are definitly so easy!!! You can also do it, if you've never driven ramps before!

get up get rolling rollinginaustria

These are easy as hell. They are easiest and most fun off a funbox. In my opinion the mute is the easiest, Ive never heard of a safet grab before today

Avatar Hunter Tillman 0 post(s)

The one that looks the best is probably the unity one
