Category: Advanced
Point Value: 450
Tips: The melancholy, or melan, grab is with your front hand between your feet on the heel edge of your board. You may do this one half-cab all the time but try doing it regular to make it a little harder.

The Melancholy (and others in its class) are slightly more difficult grabs. These require a fair amount of air and good balance mainly because these tricks force you to grab the board in ways that seem awkward and difficult at first.
