Nuclear Grabs - HOW?

I took some hard falls the other day so I just took a mellow set at the end and was trying to grab Nuclear but I coulnd't grab it, I would just kinda tickle the spot I'm supposed to grab and my friends said it lookd awkward. So I found out there is obviously more than just grabbing the board on across-the-body grabs like nuclear grabs. Can anyone throw a little help my way on how to do Nuclear Grabs?

while reaching make sure you pull the board towards your hand with your feet

Kind of on the same topic (just avoiding a new thread Laughing

) ...does anyone have tips on doing Nuclear Tantrums?

I've never tried a Nuke tantrum, but for a regular nuke grab, try doing it toeside. I think it's easier than heelside, because of your body position. I poke my board backside a tiny bit while bending my front leg. You can try heelside too but in my opinion, it requires a little more twisting. If you get it heelside, try adding a backside 180. Nuclear backside 180s feel awesome.

start stretching more and you will get the grab down.

start at crail then work your way around the nose. this goes for grabing nuclear in tantrums, and spins as well.
