SkaMiDan's Aggressive Inline Skating Airs, Grabs & Spins Trick List
Your Guide to Airs, Grabs & Spins in Aggressive Inline Skating
In Aggressive Inline Skating, airs are those moments when you lift completely off the ground – whether over ramps, gaps, rails, or out of the pipe. They represent ultimate freedom, height, and style.
Grabs, meaning grabbing your own skates while in the air, add control and personality to your tricks. Whether it's a classic mute grab or a creative Liu Kang grab – with grabs, you're not just flying, you're showing that you’re in control of the flight.
Spins are rotations around your own body axis, from basic 180°s to complex 1260°s.
Whether you're just attempting your first airs or already working on complex grab-spin combos – with practice, creativity, and a solid foundation, you’ll progress quickly.
Aggressive Inline Skating isn’t just about grinds – your style in the air makes all the difference. And that starts with a personal bucket list and a clear overview of possible tricks.
That’s exactly where our SkaMiDan Trick List comes in:
We’ve put together a diverse selection of airs, grabs & spins – perfect for learning your first jumps or expanding your trick repertoire. The list is clearly structured: alphabetically sorted and additionally divided by difficulty level. That way, you can instantly see which moves you’ve already mastered and which ones are your next challenge.
Especially helpful: For many tricks, you’ll find accompanying images, videos, and detailed tutorials to get you started right away. You won’t just discover new tricks, but also learn to name them correctly – or vice versa: if you’ve got a trick name in mind, you’ll immediately understand what’s behind it.
The SkaMiDan Airs, Grabs & Spins Trick List is much more than a simple collection – it’s your personal training guide for more skill, expression, and confidence in every jump and aerial technique.
