Grab Charts - What's your favorite grab?

A few people have commented on some of the roll grabs I do so thought I'd post these for anyone that wants to work on some more technical grabs. Lately I've been digging on some Front Roll Tailfish. My classic grab when boosting is a Stalefish grab, taken it back to my skate roots.
Curious to hear what others are working on.

Very Cool kyle!
Lately been favoring Nose and tail grabs.
My oldest grab is the stalefish.
The newest try is the Mute and occassionally when I get my gut out of the way I grab Indy.

A buddy of mine does the sickest method grabs on the snowboard. His body and board are almost 180 degrees apart. He kicks the board so the bottom faces the direction of travel and bends his body the opposite direction and looks the direction he is going. Have been trying to get it, but have yet to be successful.
Looks like this:

That is a pretty sick method air. I rarely do grabs with my front hand but I should work on that. Every time I go for one I forget to have my hand in the center of the bar and end up over sending the kite.
