HAHAHA, oh my god the last 5 seconds made me laugh so hard! what the hell was that?!? I liked the vid though, you could really extend that grab on a bigger jump. It looked awesome.

the only thing i would add is to try and grab higher mute, cuz it looked kinda low, like to close to the binding, it looks sick, but it would look like a better ocotgrab if it was like high mute and true tail (or w.e the other grab is) but looks good!!

except for the wallride. i'm sure you could add a better shot than that. they are hard but you can always lieu kang out.

i hate being a dick.

Whoa.... did anyone notice he does them backwards, as in not leading. Normally you grab so both hands are leading and you can pull your skis together... I used to do them the same way as you until I realized the other way is easier to tweek.
