so I just started grabbing my BR, right now I am grabbing it melan.. Just seems the easiest to me. I was just curious what you guys thought looked the sweetest, but not to difficult.

| Backrolls grabbed with the back hand are very difficult and they don't even look that good. Melan or nose look the best IMO as long as you can keep from going to revert. I like how Adkison does them. He grabs nose and pulls it up, bones out his back leg. |

well, the only tip I can say is to just go for it. Start out by just tryin to slap the board.. It took me a couple of falls to get used to landing with just my back hand. I am still progressing with it, but should be able to hold it goo and long soon

everyone who said nose grab is an a$$hole. I tried it today. I went halfway to revert. I can't look side to side right now because of it.

as long as you grab 1st and flip 2nd, it will be the same as before because your body is stationary during the rotation. when your arms and knees extend/contract during the flips is what throws you off. also keep the handle in especially when grabbin nose.
