Trick

Nose Grab

Front hand holds the nose.

HOW TO DO IT

Nose Grab: Straight-Air Application

Front hand holding the physical nose.

Preparation and setting

Basic grab control and a familiar straight air.

How to do it

  1. Leave the lip in the usual balanced manner.
  2. Pull the front knee in while extending the rear leg to bring the nose closer.
  3. Keep the torso neutral and meet the nose with the front hand.
  4. Hold briefly, then release and return to balanced landing organization.

Learn it

Seated leg-position rehearsal → independent leg movement without the grab → add contact on the familiar jump.

Errors/correction

Bending the torso down: bring the nose up through leg organization. Changing takeoff for the reach: return to the usual straight air.

Cues

Front knee in; nose to hand.

Successful attempt

Nose contact without losing flight control.

Boundary

Release and landing integration are editorial; no fixed hold duration is prescribed.

Common grab learning module — shared preparation for grab cards

The six following grab cards use this shared teaching block rather than repeating a generic jump lesson.

Preparation

Repeatable straight airs with a compact airborne position. Use suitable training equipment for off-snow rehearsal; facility coaching governs trampoline use.

Learning sequence

  1. Identify the exact contact while stationary.
  2. Rehearse bringing the board toward the hand.
  3. On a familiar straight air, complete takeoff before reaching.
  4. Start with a brief correct touch, then a controlled hold.
  5. Release in time to return to the established landing organization.

Errors

Reaching too early reduces pop; bending the torso down destabilizes the air. Restore an ungrabbed compact air before retrying.

Editorial assessment

Look for correct contact, preserved trajectory and a deliberate release. A touch and a sustained hold can be recorded separately.

Landing/release integration and assessment are editorial application guidance, not a quoted grab-specific landing standard. Sources: Snowboard Addiction — Basic Grabs on a Snowboard; Snowboard Addiction — Basic Grabs on a Tramp Board.
