I was wondering which would be the easiest grab when throwing a backroll? |

Try the method grab, that would be my first try...
Reach for it right of the wake.

yeah, I was thinking method on a backroll too, it might also pull you into a roll to revert, which I also want to land _________________ The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.

Actually an indy grab is pretty simple too, you throw a "mexican" type roll. Other than that either a method or nose grab, keep the hand with the handle on the other side of your body to stop from going to revert. |

method (actually melan) is easy....practice by taking your front hand off the handle for a split second in the air....then get closer and closer by reaching for the board...practicing removing your front hand will help you feel how not to go to revert...try it off the double up for extra time on the grab .....it looks cool if you can really boost it and tweak the melan grab more towards a method....just grabbing the board heel edge with front hand is melan, tweaking board sobottom is pointing towards boat is method ....good luck ! _________________ MarineMax and MB Sports

wait, do you grab before the roll, or as your coming out of it?
it seems like the easiest way would be right off the wake, then initiate rotation _________________ The consciousness of self is the greatest hindrance to the proper execution of all physical action.

probably cause the grasb is all freakin tweaked out and method-y .....melan grab is grabed in the same spot as method but no tweak.....I am just saying don't claim method unless you are way tweaked out and
nathan....grab as soon as you leave the wake...just make sure you leave the wake proper

Wrong again MARKJOHNSON a melon grab is your front hand on the back edge of the board reaching behind the front foot (not between the legs) so your hand is grabbing some place between both feet.
A METHOD grab is the front hand on the back edge of the board between the nose and front foot.
So, correcting myself above I would say a HS method roll is easier than the HS melon roll.
Once again you guys need to listen/read more and spout out less crap.
Thanks for quoting me though.

Stephen, I don't care what you call it, but when people start giving miss information then it is an issue.... People use this board as a way to learn proper terminology not be misinformed.
If you don't know the answer, don't post!
