I was thinking that the next trick I should try was a heelflip to melon grab so I've been trying it for like 1 week and until now I realized that i'm not quitte sure what a melon grab is.

Is the melon grab the one that I grab the board with my front hand? I'm not sure what it is... but like can anyone explain?

Melon grab....

You use your front hand, and grab behind your back...in the middle of the board...and tweak it forward. Sorta like a tweaked behind-the-back indy grab.

I wrote a bunch of trick tips a while ago, and here's one that might help you.


Melon (Melancholy)

1. Roll at a comfortable speed, or enough to clear the obstacle you want.

2. Pop an ollie. When in the air, reach down and grab the heelside of your board with your front hand, and if you have enough air, tweak your legs towards the nose of the board.

3. When you are about to land, release the board, extend your legs, and roll away.
