Grabs in skateboarding are different ways to hold the skateboard during an aerial trick. Grabs usually combine aerials with rotation as the skateboarder grabs and holds the board.
Grab tricks
This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy certain standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with sourced additions.
Airwalk grab
The skateboarder grabs the nose of the skateboard and kick the front foot in front of the board and the back foot back of the board, resulting in a split kick while holding the nose. Good skateboarders can kick it the other way while in the same aerial and make a walking motion. This trick was invented in 1983 by Tony Hawk, who performed it on ramps and half-pipes. In 1986, Rodney Mullen invented the Ollie Airwalk, a flatground version of the Airwalk. The name Ollie Airwalk is often mistaken by the Ollie Airwalk trick in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater games series. In the version in the game, the skateboarder only kicks his/her legs off the board and doesn't grab the nose. This is not considered a "real" airwalk.
Backside grab
Any grab with the either hand on the back rail of the board between the heels. Variations include: Melon, Method, Mosquito.
Benihana grab
A grab where your legs are split with one leg stretched out across the board while the hand opposite the leg holds the tail of the board.
Cannonball grab
The skateboarder ollies, then grabs both ends of the board (nose and tail) and holds them. This makes the skater crouch and appear small and round in shape, like a cannonball, hence the name. This trick can also be done as an early grab, in which case it is commonly called a smallie, a smurf, or a bunnyhop.
Christ Air
:An air trick made popular by Christian Hosoi where the skater grabs the board out from under their feet and forms a "T" shape with their body as if on a cross with the board outstreched in either hand.
Crail Grab
:For a Crail Grab, the skater grabs the toeside nose with the back hand brought in front of the body.
Del-Mar Indy
Created in the city of Del-Mar, CA its essentially an indy but you tweak your body to the side (either) and you endup with your legs behind you most of the time.
Double Grab
The board is grabbed with one hand on the frontside of the board and the other hand on the backside of the board.
Early grab
Any trick where the rider grabs before the coping or lip. Tricks such as indy's and bonelesses, etc... are common early grabs. Early grabs waste a lot of speed and inertia because of compression and squatting down prematurely, as opposed to "spracking" an ollie or "Bonking" off the coping. A later grab generally has more height and is more extended, therefore early grabs are considered to be obsolete, with a few notable exceptions. see ariels.
Frigid Air
Similar to a Judo, though the front foot is kicked out on the heel side, rather than the toe side, rail. Though the trick has been done on vert, it was most common during the mid '80s jump ramp craze.
Frontside Air Double Grab
A frontside air to slob.
Frontside grab
Any air where the board is grabbed with the either hand between the toes on the front rail of the board - hence "front" side. Style dictates that the inside of the elbow of the back arm must be wrapped around the knee of the back leg for a "tuck-knee" frontside. The other variation being where the arm is not around the back knee, but rather straight between the legs. This is known as a Stinkbug air or Bob air (supposedly named after Bob Schmeltzer of Back to the Future fame). The frontside air was the first air performed on vert. Although contested as to who did the first fronside air, credit is generally given to Tony Alva.
Indy grab
An Indy grab is a simple grab in which the rider uses their back hand to grab the toe side of the board while turning backside in the air.
Japan grab
With the front hand grabbing toeside between the heels, the legs are then bent and folded to the back of the board. Named after the Tony Hawk penned Transworld Skateboarding Magazine article in which it first appeared.
Judo Air
The board is grabbed with the front hand on the heel side of the nose. Then the front foot is kicked forward off the board.
Lein grab
Turning frontside grabbing the board by the nose in front of the front foot.
Madonna grab
Originally known as the Madonna Lien to Tail, it originated as a Lien to Tail where the front foot is kicked out behind the skater. Invented by Jesse "the Mess" Martinez" at Hosoi's ramp, It may have been simultaneously invented by Tony Hawk who got the credit for it because he was more famous at the time.
Melon Grab
backside air and you grab heelside with your front hand by reaching behind your front leg (reaching between is a Grosman grab)
Method-air
Contrary to popular belief, this grab did not originate from snowboarding, but was invented by Neil Blender as a "method" to get higher on a backside air. When the board is grabbed the knees are bent so the board is raised backwards and the skater appears to be kneeling in mid-air.
Mute-Air
A backside air where the leading hand grabs between the toes.
No foot-air
you grab your board and virtually do a one handed superman pose, similar to a trailing haded christ air, without the rigid body positioning.
Nose grab
For a nose grab one grabs hold of the board with the front hand. This is one of the easiest grabs to perform.
Nuclear
:Similar to a Crail grab, where you grab the heelside of the nose with the trailing hand.
Roast Beef
A frontside air where the trailing hand reaches between the legs to grab the heel edge of the board. Invented by Jeff Grosso.
Rocket Air
Similar to a nose grab. Except both hands grab the nose, and both feet move to the tail.
Sean Penn
A backside Madonna, or a frigid air to tail. Possibly invented by Mark "Gator" Rogowski.
Seatbelt grab
In this grab the front hand is brought across the front of the body to grab the toeside tail of the board. Invented by Remy Stratton.
Slob Air
A frontside air where the lead hand grabs between the toes.
Stalefish grab
Named by Tony Hawk, in honour of the quality of food at the Swedish Skate Camp where it was invented (although this is disputed, as many credit Mark Gonzales with inventing the grab). The back hand grabs the heel side of the board behind the back leg. This results in a bending of both legs which can be emphasised to create more style. When this is done on a trick it is called a 'tweak'.
Superman grab
The board is grabbed on both sides (one hand each) and is brought in front or above the skater's body. Named after the pose that Superman does when flying.
Tai-pan grab
A tai-pan grab is where the skateborder takes his/her front hand and wraps it around their leg from behind so they grab the toe side of the board.
Tail grab
A tail grab is where the back hand grabs the tail of the board. This is a deceptivly difficult grab to learn.
Tuck Knee
A tuck Knee is a grab consisting of putting you're knees on the board with the soles of you're shoes facing towards the tail, and bending you're legs backwards while one hand grabs the side of the skateboard.
