Ok so stupid question, but what is a regular tail grab then?  I always thought what you guys are calling a blunt was a tail/true tail.

it's what you think it is, just grabbing the end of the ski, usually on the inside or out, and then if you grab the very end it's true tail or blunt. you can just call that tail too though. but skiers feel the need to split hairs on trick names for some reason

This. A blunt IS NOT crossed, at least in my book.

I think that would be a double true tail or maybe that is grabbing one tail with both hands.

Another question here, A leading tail is when you grab you right ski when you are spinning leftside?? and what´s following tail, it´s grabbing the left ski when spinning left??

correct me if I´m wrong

leading tail would be left hand to left ski while spinning left

you fail jesus.

Whether or not it is crossed DOES NOT MATTER.

And this guy isn't even grabbing blunt, let alone crossing his skis, which is completely irrelevant.

Grab the end of your tail. That's a blunt.

it's not on the end of the tail, so it's not a blunt.
