mall grab

The wrong way to hold a skateboard (by the trucks, with grip tape rubbing against your pants).
Typical of people who spend more time carrying their skateboard around the mall as a fashion accessory instead of actually riding it.

The poseur was easy to spot because their pants had been sanded down near the waist due to constant mall grabbing.
