The Coffin in Skate is one of the Ground Grab tricks in EA’s latest skateboard simulation title, Skate. Moreover, it falls under the larger Grab tricks category and is required for certain missions and AR Programs. However, the controls for performing this move are not simple, as players have to press more than three buttons at the same time to succeed. So, in this guide, we will help you understand how you can do the Coffin in Skate without fail.

The Coffin in EA’s Skate is one of the Grab tricks; more specifically, it is a ground grab trick. This means that you can perform this move on the ground. You do not have to jump off any high platform or ledge like you have to do for a Spread Eagle or a Christ Air. Now, the trick might look simple, but to do it successfully, you will have to press four separate buttons simultaneously. Check out the following steps for more details.

Controls for performing a Coffin in Skate are as follows:

  • Xbox: LT + RT + X + A
  • PlayStation: L2 + R2 + Square + X

If you press these buttons in the correct order at the right time, then you will do a Coffin in Skate. During this move, your character will use both of their hands to grab the skateboard and then lie down straight while riding it. Naturally, this style looks like lying in a Coffin to many, hence the name. To master this move, you must practice it relentlessly.

In addition to that, while the Coffin is no easy move, you cannot really avoid it. Because, similar to other tricks in Skate, this one is also tied to quests and also to an AR Program called Play Dead. If you want to take a quick look at the controls of Coffin or any other move in the game, then you can do so with the Skatepedia menu.

Now, if you want to open the Skatepedia, simply go to the dropdown menu, and then select it from the various options there. You will find the full list of all tricks alongside their controls in it. The Skatepedia is a useful tool for all players, as they can use it to quickly take a look at the moves before trying to perform them for missions or other players.
