What is the name of this grab? I've never known the name of it and it's been really bugging me. I'm logging footage for TGR and want to tag it appropriately. Thank you NS.

possibly just a high safety, i remember simon calling it a critical cuz he does that grab with his rodeos all the time, but i think a critical no is grabbing the inside edge of the left ski on a left spin, so im pretty confused

yeah def not a critical. high safety seems not right either cuz of the slight scissor that always accompanies this. Sammy tweaks this grab by crossing his tails... this is coming out of his second cork

"Tweaked high safety" is what I would call it. Not sure though.

Really? That's all you got? There has to be a better name.

There is no special name for it, plain and simple. It's a high safety

a tweaked high safety is what it is. if you want to get creative with the names, go for it bro but as far as this goes, theres really no arguement.

I wasn't joking.....that grab is seriously called a Bro Kang. Google it. I've been calling it a bro kang for like 5 years. Alternatively, it is a high safety.
