Click for larger image What grab is this? I see Sammy Carlson doing it a lot. It looks like a mute but his skis aren't crossed?

that is right hand right ski making it a high safety. i hope everyone saying critical is mis-seeing due to optical illusion of his clothes. critical would be left ski right hand.

Right hand right ski = safety. I can see how at first glance It would look like he's grabbing the left ski though, which would be a critical.

DEFINITELY a high safety. yes, it would be a critical if it was right hand inside of left ski but it's right hand, right ski up in front of the binding....high safety. watch the video if you don't believe me
