Okay,  i think spinning without grabs can be quite steezalicious, stefan thomas is the first skier that comes to mind. i think if someone spun, cork or not,  in this position

with thier arm nija punched right inbtween the cross of thier skis, and held it there, it would look so sick. and there are def many more possiblities with this no grab style, i think its prally harder too, progression perhaps??

definitely not harder, but  pretty cool i guess.
now if you could do an anti-grab switch zero spin that'd be sick
