true tail grab. actually grabbing the very end. people might try to tell you that it has to do with whether you cross your skis or not but they're wrong

well, you don't necessarily need to cross or not cross, or put your skis in any particular place. all it means is you're grabbing true tail like this guy

Grabing the very tail of your right ski while spining left, or grabing the very tail of your left ski spining right.

naw doesnt matter. if you wanted to split hairs you can call it opposite blunt or leading blunt if youre spinning to the side you're grabbing on, same as with any grab

I figure that opposite blunts are just blunts and leading blunts are leading blunts, depends on your dialect.

tindy is when you dont just get to the tail so its the side of your ski which is technically a tindy


also a blunt is a type of jib when you come over the rail and land on tails and press for example when you are comign from the right side of a flat bar you jump over the rail almost sticking the nose of your skis to the left and landing on the tail of your skis that isss a blunt///

it's true, and it's a bluntslide or bluntstall.

Basically just being on your tails.

Basically a copy of the skateboard maneuver

exactly.

Tindy is anything if you don't get the very tail of the ski. Gotta get that tail completely at the end.

then a true tail must be when you grab both of your tails instead of just one

It's funny that you had to put skiing related in the title. For some reason I never equated true tails and blunts, I never really thought about the meaning of true tail, actually grabbing the tail. Does it have to be opposite though, like right hand to left ski? Or would that be some variation of a critical?
