10 Snowboard Grabs - Snowboarding Trick List

My Top Gear Picks

10 Snowboard grabs you can start adding to your snowboard trick list. I'll go around the snowboard breaking down all the basic grab and a few more technical ones too.
Lets start with the tail grab. This is where you reach your back hand to grab the tail of your board. To add style to the grab and to make it easier, tilt your board by straightening your front leg as you bend your back.
Next go for the Indy by grabbing your toe edge with your back hand, between your bindings. The Indy is a good beginner grab because you can do it off small jumps.
Similar to the Indy is the Mute grab, with the difference being you're grabbing your toe edge with your front hand. Add some style to the Mute by straightening out your back leg to poke out your tail.
Combine the Indy and Mute together to go for a Gorilla Grab. This grab isn't very common, but it's a lot of fun, especially if you straight both legs and make it into a stiffy.
Next go for the Nose grab. This is where your front hand grabs the nose of your board. By bending your front leg and extending your back you'll tilt your board and make this grab easier with more style.
Once you get comfortable with the nose grab, bring your back hand to your nose and get the Rocket grab. The key for Rocket grabs is flexibility so do some stretching to help pull it off.
Next take your front hand and grab your heel edge between your binding for the Melon grab. Ad some style to the melon by straightening out your front leg to poke out the nose of your board.
Build on the Melon by going for a Method grab. The difference is in the method grab you twist your board around in front of you and stretch your back foot away from your back hand.
Another basic grab and one I like to do on hips is the Stalefish. For this grab you back hand grabs your heel edge between your bindings.
Finally ad some creativity to your grabs by doing a double nose / tail grab. This grabs easier to do when you're comfortable on big jumps, where you have lots of air time to get both grabs in.
So start adding some of these grabs into your trick list! If there's a grab you want to learn that I didn't cover, leave it comment section and I'll add it to the next grab video. Thanks for watching guys!

I think the japan grab is really cool. It looks sick when it's pulled off correctly.

You forgot the roast beef and the beef curtain

I love me some cannon-ball grabs. Grab both the nose and tail at the same time to resemble a cannon-ball. It only really works on shorter boards or if you have long arms though...

anyone doing Roast Beef grabs these days? Or is that just a memory among skaters? I still rock 'em!! :p should do a video and bring 'em back! (back hand between your legs grabbing between your bindings on the heel edge; from in front like an indy only instead of grabbing your toe edge you grab the heel edge)

I did this trick I'm very comfortable with it's in between a stale fish and a method tail grab I don't know what it is? The nose is pointing down and tweaked left, my grab is toe side on my right corner tail.

[jattmervis]

Could you do a grab like a tuck knee kinda thing that's tweaked out

[karnage]

[jaydenmoreland]

[John-lhxt]

Hey, I just bought my first board recently, and I was wondering if rub on wax was just as good as hot wax?

[fr-ik]

is crossbone a trick on snowboard or is that just a skateboard trick? i like to do a crossbones on skateboard, and when i see snowboarders do method i think it looks a lot like a crossbone when they grab the side of the nose instead of the middel of the board. but they still call it a method. so I'm kinda confussed haha. am i doing a crossbone or a method when i grab the side of my nose and tweak it on a snowboard?
