I just recently got consistent landing backrolls and rolls to reverts. I want to try to throw a grab with it. which ones are the easiest to learn?

dakid 04-03-2006 1:34 PM

method....looks best w/ roll2revert. <BR> <BR>nosegrab w/ back leg poked out on backroll. <BR>

jarrod 04-03-2006 1:35 PM

I would think a nose unless you do mexi style.

bendow 04-03-2006 1:39 PM

cool thanks. <BR>what the deal with the mexican roll I've heard people talk about it, but don't know what it is. is it like a backroll?

kevin_bird 04-03-2006 2:17 PM

Instead of doing it like a cartwheel oh a Heelside br its like throwing your head to you feet like a front roll almost. If you do them mexi style then indy would be your grab of choice.

harryhog 04-03-2006 2:30 PM

i do mexi, and it makes you pretty heavy dependant on ure front arm, so indy could work!

brhanley 04-03-2006 2:56 PM

nose, probably, though never been able to grab mine...side question: is a method r-2-r somewhat of a mis-name? you're not really doing a method...

ralph 04-03-2006 3:39 PM

Slob roll to revert looks dope IMO

westsidarider 04-03-2006 4:04 PM

when i can get the grab i find that slatefish is the easiest for me on a mexi-roll

04-03-2006 4:13 PM

i grab method and toe.

04-03-2006 4:14 PM

haha toe grab. i meant nose.

westsidarider 04-03-2006 4:15 PM

hahaha i was jus lookin at my post, i meant stalefish not slatefish

jcv 04-03-2006 4:23 PM

similiar to what brian said, i don't think method is an actual grab. i could be mistaken, but i thought the term "method" implied a melon grab with a backside air. so it would be a melon r2r, not a method r2r?

oops, thanks joe. i was obviously thinking of a method air which can be a melan grab combined with a backside air

forwaken 04-03-2006 4:54 PM

awsome link joe!

forwaken 04-03-2006 4:56 PM

The only grab I have been able to pull on my BR is a lein I guess. Now if I could just put together landing it and grabbing it at the same time!

bendow 04-03-2006 5:19 PM

when do you go for the grab? when your going up, upside down, or coming down?

kristian 04-03-2006 5:22 PM

Right from the start, that way you'll have more grabbage time equalling more style

westsidarider 04-03-2006 5:39 PM

the sooner u can get the grab the easier it will be. jus remember to suck ur knees up to u, dont reach down for the grab. this goes for all grabbed tricks

i always throw a roast beef in

bendow 04-04-2006 8:28 PM

whats a roast beef?

srh00z 04-04-2006 9:06 PM

Roast Beef is grabbing between your feet on the heelside of the board, but through your legs, I think it is with your right hand if you ride left foot forward, but I am not sure. I vote for the nose grab with the poke, a la Shane Bonifay.

chadilac 04-21-2006 9:48 PM

if your doing a regular backroll do a nosegrab, if your doing a mexican backroll do an indy with it.
