When doing somi or twist rotations is there different scores for body shape and grabs, is it preferable to grab the board, therefore have a tucked up body or would you get more points for performing a somi with a straight body with no grab because its more difficult to perform?

I also note that on somi skills most riders throw their heads back at take off, is this considered bad form/technique? I know you can see better when the heads put back, but this makes it harder for body to tuck up during flight
