A trick with that kind of name sounds intense, and it is. You grab the tail of the board with both hands as the nose of the snowboard points down.

The name comes from how a snowboarder will look if they fail to land the trick, according to the Detroit Free Press. Because if you fail, you'll end up with a bloody face, or at least blood dripping from your mouth like Dracula.

The Denver Post referred to it as one of the most difficult grabs in snowboarding.

Sounds fun, right?
