I hate to make another one of these threads, but I just saw this in the Momentum session 1 edit; I've never seen this grab before and am amazed by it. Seems to be a japan/mute. Anyone know if it has an "official" name?

When I spin and do it I call it an H-spin.

Not sure the proper term though

I've heard it called a muffin, and muffin top if you grab both tips not just far up the ski

mute and japan. seems like a lot of people are missing the fact that he is grabbing his left ski with his right hand.

Ever since I saw this pic of Dane Tudor it's been one of my favorite grabs.

Fail. But no need for fancy names really, it's a japan mute.
