How to Do a Roast Beef Grab on a Snowboard

Warm up by starting with some regular jumps to get in the groove for the day. Think about the timing for doing the Roast Beef while you warm up.

Go fast enough to stay in the air for a couple of seconds at least.

Flatten the board on the snow and board straight at the jump.

Ollie off the jump to get more height and time to do the grab.

Lift your knees as high as possible toward your chest as soon as you jump instead of bending over at the waist toward the board.

Grab the board on the heel side by reaching between your legs with your trailing hand. You will need to stick your elbow out in front of your body and grasp the board with your fingers curling under the board and your thumb on top. If snowboarding goofy (left foot first), you will grab the board with your left hand and grab with your right hand for regular stance.

Use your free hand to help you keep your balance.

Release the board to get ready to land. Try to hold the board until the last second.

Lower your legs but keep them bent enough to absorb the landing.

Land the trick and find another jump to do the Roast Beef grab again.
