[poll] Where do you draw the line between a Deck-Grab and a Superman (deck-grab)?

[Richie T]

I'm not sure where you draw the line...
had an argument with a friend so i'd like to straighten things out
so basically i was saying that i was doing supermans, but he was saying i was doing deckgraps so yeah...lol

Deck grab is just a finger whip without the tailwhip.

Superman deck grab you get your body straight.

Generally it's about setting your body and legs more or less in a straight line and having them more or less parallel to the ground...

Body parallel to the ground + legs bent hanging down = stupid man deckgrab. This is what I end up doing all the time, haha. Name made up by Chris Bartnicki.

What is looking the worst is when someone has his body straight, bends his legs back and lifts his scooter high up there. I mean, wtf, this not only looks ugly, but lifting up the scooter is completely missing the point of this trick. A proper superman would be a trick when your whole body and the legs are over your scooter.

yea, if you get your thighs, torso, and arm thats holding the grip in a straight line id say its a superman. i know sometimes your legs do funky things, but if your thighs are in that straight line its a superman, even though maybe an ugly one haha

just practice, if tyler hale can get them fully extended over a 2 foot pyramid i think you can get them over a flybox or flyout or whatever your trying on

yes but thats the problem tyler hale is about 1001 times better than me lol. i just cant get this trick haha

 

[Dustin Nooner]

I extend my legs fully and try to get the deck out as far as I can. Thats where I draw the line haha.

I think it totally depends on the situation, if one of you is doing a trick and you're not sure if it's a deck grab of a superman, take a picture so we can decide.

 

[coombsey]

um just get the scooter out and extend your body as much as possible and if its a fair extension its a superman

 

[joey sabatini]

deck grab is where the deck is still under you but you still grab it
and a superman is where your grabbing the deck and extending your arms and you can extend your legs too the only time i extend my legs on a superman is when im getting a picture of me doing it
