how do you even do them haha. no picture is good enough to show what way the legs go and everything. do you cross the skis and then push the knees out grabbing opposite skis?

octo's are my new favorite grab. I can do em with most tricks, its kinda harder for me to do them on switch tricks for some reason.

such an easy grab to phantom, just get used to throwing your legs into the octo position on hips and stuff.

I like just doing that wierd mute grab sometimes, like right hand right ski leading mute

ye i do exactly the same, it feels easier, i put it down to being used to crossing my skis in mute style position and so feel more comfortable making the cross the same and just grab differently, and then try and tweak it to hell

But i have spun rightside with octos and i can see how charles can almost touch tail to tip, it puts you ina rediculous position to tweak em together.
