ectobar Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Starting my second year of boarding this year. What are some easy grabs and other tricks to start with? Can you ride switch proficiently? I'm going to assume no, so that's what you need to work on. After that, maybe some nose and tail butters, 50-50 grinds both regular and switch, some 180's on flatland regular and switch. If you want to start hitting some jumps, start off small, and really work on getting a grab and not just flying through the air, it will help you keep your composure in the air and pay off big later. And if your not already doing so, get a helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick malozzi Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 method grab. only trick you need to learn... ever. the more you bend your knees, and the higher you push your free hand up into the air the better. if you can do them really fast from flat ground you get bonus points.

Keep at it, and most importantly just have some fun. Also, find some people to ride with that have similar goals. Having a crew to push and help you learn will keep it fun, and let you progress quickly. And besides, your going to need someone to show off your newly learned extra steezy boned out methods.

Ride Delaware ? Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Where you riding? Go Indy grabs... Right down between the legs with the back hand... Very easy and a great center of gravity... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
