What is the best looking straight air grab

chimpansteeze · 2021-02-19 00:37:28

Saw some snowboard kid pull a sick tweaked out method under the lift yesterday. Got me thinking, snowboarding has a ton of grabs that look cool straight aired and skiing seems to have like none. In my mind a good method is pretty much the only one. Maybe a really shifty-ed safety?

Stale is right hand grabbing back left side of left ski behind you (or vice versa of course) and agreed it's the dopest grab esp for straight airs

That's why shifties exist, a fully tweaked out shifty on a straight air will look better than any straight air grab... you can't change my mind!

As for worst straight air grab... gotta be a Truck Driver surely!?

I'm a huge fan of the straight air truck driver, but I gotta admit it looks a little wack

Lui Kang tweaked with a proper kick to the side, or a Japan the same way look pretty good.

But tweaked high safety or tweaked stale for the win 🏆

Imo the most stylish move you can do in a straight air is ust keep your skis together and shifty them a little bit... Damn I freaking love that shit
