So basically, blunts (or true tail mutes)  look dope as hell. so i spin left, which way is easier to grab, reaching back with your right or left hand? i know following brabs generally tend to be easier but it seems like leading and reaching with your left would just seem natural? can't wait til i can ski... fuuuuck.

I think the difficulty depends on the person, but personally, I would reach for it with my left hand if I were spinning left. I don't get the connection between blunt and "true tail mute" though.

true tail mute? wouldn't that be like an octo sorta looking thing?

when I grab blunt or true tail I spin to my left and grab with my right on my right tail. I happen to have a picture of this, but it's a screen grab so it's not very good:

If someone could explain what a True Tail Mute style blunt is that would be awesome - cause I was under the impression that a Blunt was when you crossed you tips and grabbed same hand same ski on the very "tip of the tail".

i think leading ski would look a shit load cooler so left  but trailing is easier

true tail mute isnt a grab unless your physically grabbing mute wiht your right hand and tail with your left.

its just called a blunt
