Sounds kinda like a crouton... was your left hand in front of your boot?

This is a crouton:

Nope, Cruton, also known as Japical I think.

Tanner had a sick shot of a sw5 Cruton in Yearbook (at 3:08):

I've heard both terms used interchangeably quite a bit... so whichever is your cup of tea I guess.

Since double grabs exist, I'm having a hard time knowing the name of every grab! sure there's the trucker and the octo that are quite obvious, but all those double japan, cruton, nose kang, and japical things get me confused...

what if you grab both skis behind the binding, arms behind your legs like a japan?
