So I know you can take off from a jump while holding a grab

but can you land while still holding a grab? Is that within humankind's physical capabilities? not counting rails (I think I've seen someone hold safety onto & during a rail before)

^yeah. I'm imagining someone taking off switch holding nose, doing a sw3 & landing holding their nose or something similar.

if someone could figure out how to take off or land with a fully crossed up mute, that'd be rad, too.

transfer and landing while still holding the grab, sacrificing the digits to get shots. Well worth it in my opinion.

most grabs would fuck your body up if you tried to land while grabbing, purely because to land you need your legs to absorb the impact

Would be pretty hard to not smash your hand if you were holding something other then nose or tail

If anybody can land with their skis crossed/while holding a grab, it's Charles Gagnier, the stuff he does is insane, (1:24)

Maybe if you landed switch doing true nose really hard so that your noses are pulled away from the snow. That's some Henrik shit.

I don't think it would look very good

I think if you grab nose landing switch, or tail landing forward it would look really sick, just hold the tip of the ski so your fingers don't go under and get smashed,

Christ! watching that shit hurt my knees. Charles Gagnier is something else. He's one of the only skiers with a truly unique style.

Yeah - when I got the notification about this thread being bumped, Kai's carved safety landing popped into my head instantly. I haven't seen Jesper's maneuver... sounds fucked.
