So who out there can grab a truckdriver? I find it really difficult because I'm not flexible enough.
For that matter I find it hard to grab tail (but strangely not nose).
Any other grabs you find tough to get? Maybe we can share tips on how to get them.[/url] |

im not sure but that ruck driver looks crazy co it looks like he is grabbing roast beef with his back hand which would make it way more mental than a normal truck driver.
i have crapy flexibility but dont find truck dirvers hard. hard ot make em look good though.
that photos kind of wack. i think most important thins in a shred photo are seeing the take off, the landing, ground and sky or else theres noperspective to see how big it is. |

see we have to know if he is regular or goofy..
if he's goofy then his back hand is indy and front hand melon so a FS truck
if hes regular then his front hand is mute and back hand stalefish so hes pulling the harder BS truck |

I'm disappointed that there are no double-entendres here about hanging round motorway service stations late at night! 
Seriously tho - i've just started catching grabs. Indy is a piece of cake, but anything else requires me to not look where i'm going!
And i WAS looking where i was going when i trashed my head at Tam... so that's definitely not a good thing. Especially on a dendix!
So what's the best approach? (Other than quickly towards a kicker...) Go for the grab and THEN look for a landing?
Or keep my eye on the prize, reach round and hope there's a bit of board there to grab? |
