Board Handstand

by N O B L E

Turns the double grab on the ground into a handstand on your rolling board. Works on mod maps too.

What it does

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
• 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
• Works out of the coffin and when landing with a held double grab

The in-air double grab stays vanilla, and so does the ground double grab while rolling fakie.

How to use

1. Install the mod from the ReSkate launcher (MODS > BROWSE) and make sure it is enabled.
2. Roll on flat ground and hold both grab buttons.

Mod maps

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

Good to know

• Not compatible with other mods that change the ground 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 After a game update the mod may show as OUTDATED until it is rebuilt.
