HOW TO LOOK 50% LESS WACK! THE MALL GRAB, DONT DO IT!

We all know that pushing mongo or chicken is pretty much a no/no if you want to be accepted by the skateboarding community, even I have a cheeky go at pushing normally all though I think it is fair to say my skating aint winning any beauty contests.

We spend so long concentrating on looking good on the board that we forget about how we look off the board, this brings me to THE MALL GRAB.





You can't deny this looks wack, it makes you look like a novice or if you are older like me, it makes you look like you are carrying your kids deck for him/her. It just looks weak. We refer to the offenders as TRUCK TOUCHERS.



My suggestion is the grip tape out approach as this is better for your clothing as the grip tape eats clothes, ironically the mall grab is usually supported by TK Maxx No Fear/Airwalk jockys who pay about 20p for an outfit. The one advantage to THE MALL GRAB is it doesn't eat clothes.



I go for the grip tape in angled as the weighting seems better.



So anyway do what you want because skateboarding is fun, it's also fun not to have the shit ripped out of you.
Just for reference the hold I like to refer to as the THE CATALOGUE, does not look as cool as you think.



Next month, sticker jobs.
