it is like a loukang, but you kick the free leg under the grabed foot. and you cross your skis at the same time.... if that makes sence... kick kinda like a huntony, but under instead of back, and grab safety. that is how I do them at least... they rule in the pipe.

I cross the under leg a lot - like a big x. I point my toe... it looks really different than a lou kang.

lui kangs and phil grabs don't look very good off table unless they are in a spin or flip.

maybe off like a Mammoth hip or something. They just look better when you are sideways or upside down

It's a mute but you grab with a different hand. Left hand grabs left ski. Now how do you do a stiffy?

and oh yea, lui kangs can look very cool off tables. just look at the one in the beginning of 13, he kicks his opposite ski under the grabbed ski. it looks phat.

by what you're all describing it seems that there's a photo of phil belanger doing a phil grab to disaster, but they call it a liu kang. it looks sweet, it's on page 67 of the superpark3 issue

well then, it looks sweet. i thought a phil grab was grabbing left ski w/ left hand where you would normally grab with you r right hand to do a mute. like belenger does in the beginning of his segment in 13. i thought he did a phil grab to mute.
