Looks dope dude! My favourite way to grab Japan is to really bone out the other ski and point the tip up, almost as if you're going for a daffy or a screamin'. So fun and steezy.

Hey, appreciate you wanna learn it the way I do it. Try to kick your right leg infront of you, and try to kinda shifty it to the side and really stretch it out. Then fold your left leg under your ass kinda. This will bring your ski really close to your right hand so you can grab it nicely and it also creates the desired shape of the grab. Hope that helps at least a bit. Keep it up, cheers.

Maybe it’s just me but the bases look like them

Since you're skiing without poles, try to wrap your whole hand around the base to really GRAB. It's fun to try to kick the foot your grabbing back and do the japan in front of your boot or when you grab, slide your hand back to the tail.
