Japan air/mute

Ok so im sure someone must have said this at some point, but the grab naming for these in skiing is fucked. The original japan in skateboarding (and every other board sport) was just a tweaked mute. Reaching behind your back foot like a ski japan is more reminiscent of a skateboarding stalefish, imo.

Literally every other grab in skiing is at least somewhat reminiscent of its board counterpart. Just allow it lol

well, the committee met and decided that giving a tweaked mute an entirely different name was stupid. they also mentioned the added benefit of pissing off LackeyDittos in 2018 was nice and everyone pretty much agreed
