Grab question?

What kind of grab is this:

Like a lui kang you extend your right leg and tuck your left leg but then you take your right hand in front of your body and grab under your left boot.

Is this still a lui kang or what is it?

Never heard of it, but I'm doin' one this weekend!
No, I dont care if I bail harshly, I know it's a really tough technical trick, and you need to go sooooo big for it, but i'm brave, I jst guna huck myself off get the grab tweaked and worry about the landing latter!!

Ok if you are doing a Japan but grabing in front it is a CRITICAL!!!!

You should be grabbing on the inside bottom of the ski but thats not that big a deal.

really, that's a critical? I've just always called that a lui kang even though I knew it wasn't. i'm still a little confused on how you grab a lui kang. do you just grab the tucked ski with the same hand?

Yeah, a Lui Kang is A saftey grab with the non-grabbed ski extended. Just like you said. '

Ok so the decision is IT IS A CRITICAL, correct?

it's not a liu kang...it's a critical...liu kang is same hand/foot... huntknee is is right foot kicked back, left ski crossed, grabbed with right hand.... and japan is grabbed behind your leg...it's a critical, and sweet looking and not hard to do!!!!

why the fuck are you guys spelling it huntknee? it's just huntony... but um ya - it's not really impotant anyways... really the difference between a critical and huntony isn't worth having an argument over.
