So I have a poser for you.
I was riding at Halifax earlier and spinning 3's off the kicker (which I was quite pleased about since me+snowflex+spinning tend to equal fail). On my last hit I grabbed with my front hand, on the heel edge, between the bindings but I brought the board up behind me and tweaked it like a method.
My question is, can you spin a method or do methods have to be a straight air? Was it just a tweaked melon? Was it something else like a melancholy? |

| 129 views and no one has an opinion? Admittedly it may have been a complete style fail but I'd still like to know. |

| a melonchollie is with the nose boned down, grabbing there is just a backside grab but if youve tweaked it into a method then its a method , spinning or not i reckon, thats in skating terms anyway, which is where all the grabs come from really. |

which came along before the term meloncollie. which if i remember correctly came from a thrasher comment on a picture of a sadplant saying 'that was so sad it was meloncollie"
probably back in 86 ish.
Is that you Mini, from back in your skate days? |

Ok, I'll go with that then. Felt a bit wrong when I did it so I don't think I'll be trying that one again.
Mini, that's a tasty outfit  |
