What grabs do you guys miss? The only grabs thrown today are mutes, blunts and japans.

I miss octo grabs, true tails and the double cross mutes delrome does in realtime.

I see True tail all the time...
But i like to see more of dub grabs, like truckdriver, dub nose and such.. it's so nice if you corks it out and does it with style and ease like Aurdal..

I really miss the truckdriver, and especially the double nosegrab.. Those are soo steezy, but lately HH and B-Dog have done some grabs who looks like a rebirth of the truckdriver..

Not like they did before the tails were all super true. Go watch Long story short and you will understand.

The truckdriver if course. Though I think I saw B Dog throw a cork 5 truck in a recent edit and ut was sooooo nice.

Colbys 7 double true nose...rocket grab... in LSS was sick as well.

I bet Bobby B could do it with a double misty, seems like you could be throwing your arm the right direction generally.

that superkangknown video was pretty sad. I don't think the entire lower ski got off the ground on a few of those shots.

the only one I miss is a schad grab. so many of the grabs people listed above are still done, just not on all the cheezy edits we constantly see.

you realize that blunt = true tail. they are different names for the same grab.

im talking about the way they are done. Like a blunt is with the skis crossed up behind your back. The true tail i miss is were you can practically kiss your skis cause their right up in your face.

How do people miss this? I think some people think it's only a blunt if it's uncrossed ala P White.

I guess everybody has different meanings on what defines a grab.

Oh brebys are also very missed.

no they're the same thing. crossing your skis or tweaking doesn't change the grab! all that matters is what area on the ski you grab.

stop making useless multiple names for the same grab, just done slightly different. if we all did what you do, then everyone's grabs would be called different things because a lot of people do the same grab differently!!!!

god damn it newschoolers.

Crutons!

you also never really hear critical, phil, toxic or any of those anymore but that's cause the are so similar to like mute, saftey, and tail.

also why don't people do safteys anymore? they cal look super sick, like high saftey.

Everyone has a different way of defining what a grab is.

Well, you can define a grab as what you want, theirs no set book of names. Just look at Jon Olsson he names his tricks but their are other so called real names for them. Thats what i love about freeskiing their is no set rules. You can do whatever you want.
