Mall Grab

A mall grab is a way of holding your skateboard with the grip tape facing your pants, and gripping it by the trucks. It is called mall grabbing because the skate community has decided that people that hold their board like that are probably posers and carry it more than they ride it, so they carry it around a “mall” as an accessory, hence the “mall” grab. You may be wondering though why this is frowned upon as it is very obviously the most fucking comfortable way of holding the board. I’m going to get crucified for saying this but it’s true. “BUh bUh yOULL lOoSeN tHe tRuCkS” the trucks are literally shaped like fucking handles I’ve seen skate shops use trucks as door handles it is fucking PERFECT for holding but Noooooo we have to make fun of everyone that hold it in the most comfortable way because making things harder for ourselves and putting down anyone that speaks up against it is the way to fucking go because you’re all toxic gatekeepers.
