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 get completely off the ground – whether over ramps, gaps, rails, or out of the pipe. They stand for maximum freedom, height, and style.

Grabs, meaning grabbing your own skates during the flight, bring control and personality to your tricks. Whether a classic mute grab or a creative Liu Kang grab: with grabs you show that you not only fly, but control the flight.

Spins are rotations around your own body axis, from first 180s to complex 1260s.

Whether you are just trying your first airs or are already working on complex grab-spin combos: with practice, creativity, and a solid foundation, you will make progress quickly.

Aggressive inline skating doesn't just live on grinds – your style in the air also makes the difference. And that starts with a personal bucket list and a clear overview of possible tricks.

This is exactly where our SkaMiDan trick list comes in:

We have put together a versatile overview of airs, grabs & spins for you – perfect for learning your first jumps or expanding your trick repertoire. The list is clearly structured: arranged alphabetically and additionally divided by difficulty level. This way, you can see at a glance which moves you already master and which ones will challenge you next.

Especially helpful: For numerous tricks you will find additional images, videos, as well as detailed tutorials, with which you can get started right away. In doing so, you not only learn new tricks, but can also name them correctly – or vice versa: You have the name in mind and immediately get explained what is behind it.

The SkaMiDan Airs, Grabs & Spins trick list is far more than just a collection – it serves as your personal training guide for more skill, expression, and confidence in all jumps and jump techniques.
