Extremely Tweaked Grabs

TJ Schiller has really stepped it up this year with his crazy ass mute grabs. Im really suprised that he doesnt pull his ski off, i mean he really just tweaks it so much that they go back parallel. I think they look cool, opinions?

Note: There was someother guy back in the day that did these, it was all over skiingmotion.com, his name was Brandon Bechker or something?

They are so ugly. Charles has probably me least favorite style of anyone right now. Your skis should never go past perpindicular and preferable shouldn't be crossed at all like how Stephen Thomas does his tail grabs.

charls dosent tweak much of his grab, he just cross them perfectly perpendicular using his ankles, and it looks effortless, while you can see tj "tweaking " his skis with his arm

I remember when Phil Dion would tweak his tail grrabs past the perpendicular point. And no that i think about it, Jon Olsson used to tweak his tails and mutes to perpendicular as well. I guess Super Tweaks are cool again.

Yeah! It was Brandon Buchar, not Brandon Becker. Watch High Society (SM2) and he makes an appearance at the end. Also, if anyone has the video of his d-spin that graced skiingmotion.com before it shut down, post that!


That guy tho.... He made tailgrabs go parallel again, so fucking crazy.

i think tweaked grabs are gonna come way back in - provided they are still smoothly done...

nothing can replicate candides in my opinion..

gagniers grabs are amazing, my favourite grab ever was in high five when he does like a uber tweaked super smove mute nose grab , its ace, i challenge you to watch it and "hate his style"

gangier has some of the most technical grabs and spins out there....switch right side reverse mute...techi!

TJ is one of the best comp riders out there also... he's got mad control over his grabs and body.
