well my first idea of an octo was this.. you cross then reach across your body, grab the tail of the right foot ski with your left hand while reaching across your body, andthen the left tail with your right hand so your like turning your body...
anyone ever thought of that?

Acctually I"ve been thinking of how I can bring that to life for a while now. I tried it on water ramps last summer and concluded it was impossible but I've come up with a new way of getting it. Hopefully I'll be able to hit a decent sized jump before summer again though

Acctually the jump would have to be like 60 feet minimum. Or really kicky like the one at the candide rail jam... but bigger

maybe we can modify it so its just grabbing like the tail shafts of the skis rather the tips because i just put my skis on my rug and tried it its fucking impossible to get the tips, possibly if the knees were bent

i read your description wrong, sorry. but a blunt wrap isnt 1 hand. a blunt is one hand. a blunt wrap is when you grap left tail with your left hand along with your right hand. double handed tail grab.

hahah ive this exact thought before, its way tough. I was also thinking, garbing true tail with 2 hands on the same ski, i think it'd look sick, but my seasons done now ... so lame, summer can piss off and die.
