Roast Beef Grab

A grab with the trailing hand on the heelside edge between your bindings. If you reach around your leg with your trailing arm then you are grabbing stalefish.

HOW-TO
Head straight toward the jump with a little speed.

Start your ollie on the transition of the jump so you have finished it by the lip of the jump.

Pull your knees towards your chest, don’t bring your chest to your knees, and reach that back, trailing hand between your legs and grab that heelside edge right between your bindings. Throw your front hand straight up into the air so as not to throw your balance off in the air.


Hold the board tight and try extending your front foot as much as possible; this is called tweaking your grab.

Hold that tweaked grab position past your apex and as long as you can. However make sure you start looking for your landing as soon as you pass the apex of your air. Start at the spot as soon as you find where you think you are going to land.

Hold the grab for just a little longer, then let go, but keep your knees bent.

As you get very close to your landing extend your legs out hard but never completely, that is how you blow out your knees. Stomp the landing and ride away but don’t’ even think about making a heelside turn and butt checking.

Nice job. That is one of my favorites.
