180 deck grabs flat.

[Alex.Awaida]

I love doing all kinds of grabs (deck grabs, nose grabs, over under deck grabs, trying to learn behind the back deck grabs). And i can deck grab and 180 flat consistently. But I always land of the brake when I do a 180 deck grab flat. Sometimes I can land it clean, but there's a problem. Do I just need more practice? Or am I doing something wrong?

I dont see why you would want to do grabs flat, but just jump higher, and grab faster.

If you are doing it backside, try and get most of the rotation around right before you grab the deck so that you don't have to keep spinning as you return your hand to the handlebars, this should help keep the landing clean. If you are doing it frontside, stand slightly more toward the front of your deck when you do the trick to prevent your foot landing on the brake. If your foot is slipping and landing on the brake, get some new griptape or focus on keeping your feet planted.
