Replying to Grab guide
I figured this may be helpful to some people on NS to get better understanding of certain grabs
ok i did searchbar it and one came up but it isnt very helpful and is like 5 years old so this is a guide to grabs please correct me if im wrong and feel free to add your own. ok here it goes
Truckdriver- where the skier grabs both outside edges (in front of the binding but behind the tip) with both hands.
Tailblunt (true tail) - from my understanding the skier grabs the tip of the tail and crosses their skis in-front of the bindings. (toxic is similar just instead of grabbing the tail you grab behind the binding before the tip of the tail)
mute- where the skier crosses the fronts of the skis and grabs inside edge (could be outside not sure) of the ski
tail grab- you grab the back outside edge of the ski
safety- where the skier grabs the edge that is under the boot
japan- where the skier grabs the ski behind the binding with the opposite hand, for example right ski grab with left hand or vice versa.
double grab- where the skier grabs one hand inside edge on either sides of the binding on one ski, for example left hand in front of bindings on right ski and right hand behind the binding on the right ski
those are the ones that i know well but ones im not sure of are octo, critical, phil, genie, lui kang, nose grab if anyone knows any of those or any that arent listed please post the grab and an explanation
these are the grabs from what i know if im wrong please correct me hope this helps
