GRABS! All The Grabs
 

LET GET THIS STRAIGHT....
I've gotten into too arguments with too many people trying to figure out what grab is called what, because a few names differ from wakeboarding to snowboarding to skateboarding and some just are impossible on a wakeboard. I drew this up because i hated most of the pics/charts i found on google. I can edit it if I got anything wrong but HELP ME OUT HERE.

Missing roast beef and chicken salad!

Looks good to me!

How would you do a chicken salad on a wakeboard? You have to have at least one hand on the rope. I suppose that if you had enough slack you could put the other arm up in the air.

Is there a difference between roast beef and stalefish? I think those are just snowboard grabs.

Discriminashun!!
 

Why does your schematic gotta be all REGULAR, Louis? :confused: GOOFY riders matter too!

Roast beef is between the legs stale is not.

Crail is back hand front where nuclear is.

nuclear grabs should not be allowed. Ever. Ever. Nuclear is back hand to to the edge not the nose.

I'm thinking of something different, not chicken salad

back hand, behind and in-between the legs, reach through the legs and grab toe edge... If a name doesn't exist, then maybe we should call it the pretzel haha... It's pretty hard!

Like some kind of twisted suitcase grab? Hahaha

yeah I don't even know! I have a picture of one that I did on my computer at home. I'll post it later.

You are missing my personal favorite - THE MEAT CURTAIN!. It's a double roast beef grab without the handle. Let the meat air out! Extra points if you can get the handle back haha

never heard of "mindy" before, always called it a slob grab. but good post of things to remember & try

I think they call it slob in Shaun Murray's Detention.

yeah, in wake it's called a slob. I've seen a lot of guys (myself included) do slob as their first grab in a 360/540.

where's the goofy vers?

All the hands are upside down and flipped.

Don't know why this one says not to grab the back toe edge.

because that would a Tindy grab ... the laziest of them all!!! Never grab Tindy!

I know this upsets many but I like the look of a slob grab on a frontside spin. It puts the rider in a nice crouch position that you get with indy but also 'leads' the board in the spin. Anyway, each to their own. As long as you grab something in the air! (Someone once said you should always come down with your hands full)

I'd rather see no grab than a bad grab. Spins that aren't grabbed can look good, but a bad grab is always a bad grab.

Grabbing outside the feet is just sloppy and doesn't exhibit good control over a trick.

You spelled Melan wrong! :)

Hideous! ;)

^^^^^^^^^^^Freakin FILTHY!

The one you have labeled as a nuclear is a seatbelt

Yeah, I'd better do a straight air rather than grab like that! :D

That's a Crail! Totally different grab since it's back hand on front of board!

lol right. Because all of you who are missing your grabs are doing off axis japan air 360s so you get excused if you miss by two inches and end up in front of your boot...

I heard grabbing your boots mid air is cool as well

I hold the line- that would look better grabbed mute or crail. Alex Graydon knows

What is this one called? (sorry it's really hard to see)

tailfish

Slob and lien grabs are legitimate. The thing is, they're actually direction dependent and most people in wakeboarding don't know that. lein is like a melon grab on a frontside air (again, fully legitimate, invented by neil blender). A slob grab is the same as a mute but done frontside. Indys are also direction dependent: on a frontside air it's called a frontside grab, a backside air is an indy.

Still grab in between or right by the bindings, and not outside of them.

Definitely not a tailfish. arm is between the legs and grabbing the toe edge of the board between the boots.

That's it!!

also the crappiest pic ever. def can't see that arm, if so, nice grab!

yeah, ****ty photographer and tough conditions to get a decent shot. But that's all I had.

John Halle - What an extraordinary set of grabs! I can't even figure out how to do half of those on dry land without a PFD getting in the way :D :D :D

One of the most underrated riders ever IMO was Mike Schwenne...the king of grabs, pokes, and putting steeze in the most basic tricks. He can make a HS W2W 180 look nasty.
