The Indy Grab:

One of the easiest and most used skateboard tricks is the Indy Grab. This is where you see skaters catching air, bending down and grabbing their board. It looks really cool, and it's one of the first skateboard trick tips you should learn.

The first thing you want to do is learn how to do the Ollie. Once you know how to do this, you can incorporate the Indy Grab. While you're riding, you should have your front foot in the middle of the board, and your back foot on the tail of the board.

You will slam down on the board and with your back foot and jump at the same time. You will keep your body centered on the board so that it stays even. This is the basic steps of the Ollie. Once you got this under control, go ahead and grab the board between your feed while you are up in the air.

Let go before you hit the ground, and always keep your knees bent so that it will absorb the shock of the landing. You can do this trick on a ramp, as you're coming off the flat edge, or you can do it on flat ground. One of the best skateboard trick tips is to try and get as high as you can. This will help you have enough time to pull off the Indy Grab.
