What is the grab called when you wrap your arm around both tails and pull your skis up to your side in the air?

This might be a huge noob question but I have a faint memory of Dylan Siggers doing it in one of his edits. It just looked like a massive shifty with a tail-grab but he got his tails all the way around the side of his body, just looked so cool. I've been trying to do it myself. Thanks for any help.

I believe it is called a blunt wrap, but don't quote me on it.
I know it's not a stale fish because you don't wrap your hand around anything when doing that grab.

I've always called it a tail wrap. I know it has something to do with a wrap.

That is a stale fish. I think OP is talking about wrapping around the base of the ski and grabbing the outside right edge.

i think this is what OP is talking about and it's called a stalefish

cuban is when you grab blunt but on the opposite ski. like, blunt would be grabbing the very end of your right tail with your right hand. cuban would be grabbing very end of the tail of your left ski with your right hand

both are mad hard IMO

bluntwrap is left hand crossing your body grabbing right tail, Cuban is right hand grabbing left tail. i think OP is thinking of just like a stalefish but grabbed with the crook of your elbow. saw it in a game of slvsh once idk if it has a name
