Kickflip Indy

Can we start a movement to push for flip to grab trick? I know you can technically do a kickflip, catch with feet, then grab Indy with hand. But I would LOVE to see a natural looking kickflip Indy grab where you grab with hand and put on feet into a grab trick! 

I do not believe this would be hard for developers to figure out how to add either (other than the long hours to animate and insert motions). Just like how holding R1 (PlayStation) before a flip causes the animation to be a flip into a dark slide or dark catch rather than a normal flip. We can go with the same idea and make holding L1 then L2 for a flip to backside grab (regular stance) or L1 then holding R2 for a flip into a frontside grab! 

Thoughts?

    True, but it's honestly not that much different than how an actual control scheme for such a trick could look. The manual is the only real superfluous part

    Interesting, I'll have to try that.  Would be nice if we didn't have to cheese it though 😄

    There's a glitch that lets you do flip to grabs in the game currently. I made a post about it here.

    YES 1000% THIS.

    that's one thing that's always bothered me about the skate games was not being able to grab the board before it touches your feet.  if you watch any IRL footage of someone doing a flip trick to grab they grab the board and suck it into their feet 99.9% of the time.

    I remember skate. uploaded a promo video with "gameplay" footage and the skater did exactly that, she grabbed the board as the board finished the kick flip rotation and pushed it into her feet with her hand. seeing that I got really excited that this was going to be in the game and unfortunately it wasn't.   that video has since been removed and this isn't me trying to call out skate. I'm just expressing how much we want something like this because it's realistic and done properly can look so good!!.
