Are you trying to grab your board to the front of your front foot with your back hand, it's kinda hard to tell? I know when I go nuclear I have to bend my knees a ton to be able to reach that far. I've tried doing it with a mild bend but I really almost have to bend all the way.

kyle, i can't do them but i do know you have to go for the grab first and then let the drift happen. If you let the drift happen first you will never get the grab.... there was a pretty decent step by step in the instruction edition of wbm.

Hey have you hit that pete rose yet?
