ok.. I need to clear this up.. What is a toxic grab?
At first I thought it was just when you grap your ski behind the boot on the outside of the ski. But then I herd it was any grab done with your forward hand.(eg. if you spin to the left and grab with your left hand.)
what is it?????

no one calls it a toxic anymore, but I'm pretty sure it's where you grab the inside of your ski behind the binding. Imagine doing a crossed mute, but from another direction

soo many threads on this - no point anyone flaming on this if you disagree, coz noone does toxics anymore anyway but...

blunt = grab outside tail

true tail = grab tip of the tail

toxic = grab inside tail

blunt and true tail are synonymous. Tail grabs and true tails. Thats all we need concerning this

ugliest grab ever is the regular tailgrab, like hwere you grab the outside of the ski in front of tail. tru tails are the only ones that should be done. Just plain tailgrabs are the skier equivalent of a Tindy

It's all too moshed in my opinion.. when someone's looking at you doing a trick in real time, they're not going to notice where you grab the ski when the locations are like 2 inches apart. I think they all look sick, toxic is my personal favorite grab.

OK thats a tail grab. The outside of the ski is a toxic or tindy. Blunt and true tail are the same.
