What up. So I learned how to backside 720 today. My buddy said I need to grab. Whats the easiest grab for a goofy rider?

For backside, I think Indy is. I think it's indy. The left hand between the bindings.

Other way around, stale or mute are the "easy" grabs for BS spins.

I do a tail grab and just tweek the shit out of it, works best for me. Just find a grab that you feel right with when start your spinning and work from there. Props to all the progress you have done this year, your videos are great to watch maybe you need to make an end of year recap.

Since he is riding goofy.
Wouldn't it be a seat belt??? front hand to uphill binding as this would lock the shoulders into the rotation and better allow him to keep his head looking into the rotation, allowing him to spin completely around???

Never done it just trying to visualize the motions...

Mute or Stalefish for BS for sure is easiest.... good job on the 7's!

Throwing a melon on a BS spin is actually pretty hard, putting your lead arm behind you counters a lot of the rotational force that you usually want to keep during a spin.
