Grab

A lisit of all the grabs you can do

There are several grabs you can do:

Method grab

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 grab

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 grab

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

Rocket grab

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 grab

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 grab

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 grab

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 grab

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 grab

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

Express grab

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

Stiffy grab

Any grab where one leg is straight.

Stale grab
