The latest Skater XL update is available today on both PC and consoles offering enhanced freedom with the grab mechanic. There are no longer any limitations on the timing of your grabs or when you should let go of them. This means that each hand has the ability to grab anywhere around the skateboard, allowing for maneuvers like between-the-legs grabs, Seatbelts, and Crails.
