tony gagnier was doing that grab with true nose back in 2002.

He's probabkly one of the most creative I had the pleasure to ski with and I dont remember not having a blast when he's around shredding.

so people should stop calling i ''Tom Wallisch Mute'' because he wasnt even close of inventing it and Antoine is the best at them

only person that calls it a wallisch mute is henrik H... come on vincent you should know that!
tony did do it first, the one he does in assault is dirty as fuck

there never was a name for it though, fuck naming it after a person, just call it a rip-ta-dank
it sounds halarious. Or call it a high phil grab, or opp hand opp mute... whatever

its a dope grab though!
