Term

Double Grab

Two separate grabs within one air.

GLOSSARY

A double grab means two separate grabs in the same air, one after the other — for example Indy then Melon.

Context and distinction

A double grab is two grabs in sequence, not necessarily two hands holding the board at once.

HOW TO DO IT

Double Grab — Sequential

Two distinct holds follow each other in one air. Release and order distinguish this from a simultaneous two-handed grab.

Preparation and setting

Use comfortable stationary positioning or the appropriate supervised training-board context first. For any snow application, an independently controlled take-off, flight and landing must already exist; this card does not prescribe a new jump size or trajectory.

Execution / application sequence

  1. Establish the selected contact in comfortable positioning before changing airborne demand.
  2. Name the first and second established grabs.
  3. Rehearse first contact, release and second contact.
  4. Practise the return after the second hold without rushing..
  5. For a technically reviewed snow application, preserve the established take-off, take the hold only after departure, then release and recover board alignment before contact.

Learning and practice

Learn contact, route and modest styling as separate tasks. Rehearse the return as deliberately as the hold. Add a short contact to a familiar controlled air only after the specific version has been technically reviewed; shorten or omit the hold if landing organization becomes rushed.

Errors, limits and corrections

Attempting two unfamiliar grabs together hides the failing contact. A simultaneous hold is a different family.

Observable checks

The intended hand, contact zone and route are distinguishable; styling is modest and recoverable; the hold is deliberately released before landing.
