For example, jump and do a grab move and then if you can manage to begin a second grab move before the follow-though of the first move is complete, the two moves will be executed consecutively in the same trick. If you try to cram too many moves into one trick, your boarder may not make the landing in time and take a tumble. The method used to perform this trick is basically the same as when performing a horizontal rotation trick. While pressing and holding the Jump Button ( ), press and hold or and when the Jump Button is released the boarder will begin to rotate. The rotation speed is proportional to the length of time or was pressed. Of course the angle of the board in relation to the ground surface is essential to making a successful landing.
