Trick: Mute



Description: Front hand on toesie edge in between feet.
Because you are grabbing the board with your front hand and initially hanging on to the handle with your back hand, the Mute grab is best learned from a Heelside Wake Jump.

How to perform this trick: You'll want to approach this trick like a Heelside Wake Jump, trying to get maximum height. Then, just like the description says, reach down with your front hand and grab the toeside edge of the board in between your feet. This grab looks best when you wrap your front arm around the outside and behind your front knee, while still grabbing the toeside edge of your board between your legs. This will also help to Tweak out your board for added style. The Tweak is explained later in this book.
