Early Grabs and a Rolled Ankle

This is skate footage from May 16. I was doing some early grabs at our skatepark, and made a number of attempts at getting one of the tricks "clean." Well, my skateboard wasn't feeling it, so I wound up giving myself a sprained ankle.

Do you pop your early's at all? When I do them I don't go very high but I seem to jump backwards, when I do scrape a bit I notice I get a little higher then normal

@SSDecontrol94

Yeah, sometimes I do, but lately I either just do full-on pulls or ollies... I guess i just go through phases or something? haha Peace!

how do you spin like that? i can early grab over shit but i dont have a clue how to spin them like 180s and shit

@isk8forascent

It's shoulders first.... then just dedicate! I learned 'em by accident years ago by accidentally over-rotating a regular 180 air on masonite... it slid around when I landed and I was like "holy crap... this can be a 360!"

For some odd reason I can pop outt of a quarter and air,but I can't early grab for shit,help anyone?

@wtfbitchymom

What happens when you try them? Having trouble on te approach or the air itself?

The one thing to kee in mind is to find a grab that is most comfortable to you... for me I can get more power out of a backside/melon grab, but a lot of my friends find that frontside grabs are more accommodating. Cheers!
