| definitely try them, they are surprisingly easy. just learn it stationary first, then try it on embankments and the side of kickers and stuff. i found it easiest with a method grab, but try it with a japan too, looks the bomb! |

| I can only do these on my nose, but it's all the same and it confuses the punters like "WTF?" |

Easier on the nose on an embankment 'cause you're heading in that direction when you do it, and also most people find it easier to grab their tail than the nose of the board.
Stationary though, normally easier to press on the tail and grab the nose. Also best to practise.
I don't like it though  One of these, its old-skool but lets bring it back' sort of things. |

quite a few of my buddies have broken their boards doin these, including a classic "hey check this badboy out" CRACK!! "oooh.." followed 2 runs later by tail delamination ha ha
..so mayb not worth busting them out every run unless your riding something thrashed!! |
