Board Handstand

by N O B L E

NEW IN 1.1.0: HANDSTAND EVERYWHERE! Every double grab (both grabs held) now turns into a handstand on your board - on the ground, rolling fakie and in the air, where your skater goes one-handed and flips everyone off. Works on mod maps too.

What it does

On the ground (regular and fakie)

While rolling, hold both grabs: your skater grabs the board with both hands and kicks up into a handstand on the rolling board.

• Kick-up from the double grab crouch into the handstand
• The trick shows up as Board Handstand in the trick HUD
• Lively 10-second handstand loop: legs stay slightly bent and keep moving - scissors, splits, knee bends and balance corrections
• Steering leans the handstand into the turn
• Release both grabs to come back down onto the board and ride away
• Release one grab to drop into a single-hand ground grab, add the second grab again to kick back up

In the air

• Hold both grabs in the air: one-handed handstand on the board, the free arm goes out to the side and shows the middle finger
• The air variations of the double grab (left stick forward/back/left/right) all get their own handstand pose
• Keep holding through the landing: the skater absorbs the impact, brings the arm back to the board and carries on with the ground handstand
• Let go in the air: feet are back on the board in about half a second for a normal landing

How to use

1. Install the mod from the ReSkate launcher (MODS > BROWSE) and make sure it is enabled.
2. Hold both grab buttons - while rolling (forward or fakie) or in the air.

Mod maps

Works on custom/mod maps automatically, including maps released later. The position in your mod list doesn't matter.

Good to know

• Fingerflip tricks, the one-footer and Skatepedia tricks stay vanilla. Starting a fingerflip out of the handstand shows a short blend.
• On very short airs you may land before the kick-up is finished - the game then blends straight into the ground handstand.
• Not compatible with other mods that change the double grab animations. Disable those first.
• Works fine together with Smoke Session by NOBLE1337.
• Built for the current supported skate. build. After a game update the mod may show as OUTDATED until it is rebuilt.
