Future of ski grabs

I just had a crazy idea of what grabs in skiing might be like in the future.

Imagine henrik harlauts great grandson dropping into xgames ski big air 2092 and he winds up a throws the worlds first dub 10 while unclipping and clipping back into his left ski.

Or even grabs where the rider just grabs a part of their binding making it arguably harder to do grabs like mute

and also grabs where the rider does grabs mid screamin seaman like a behind the back mute where its like a regular mute but the ski you grab is behind your leg

not even saying this needs to happen in 2092, with how skiing is getting now, running out of spins that can be humanly done, the only way the sport can keep going especially with how fast its progressing and how many people are doing it now would have to be creativity like this

Freestyle skiing was so rad in 2009. double grabs, style, butters,
and then one skier went and trained a double in a speedo...
this whole trained big air / aerials thing is completely whack.

think of all the sick events like kimbo and jib league that are so sick because of tricks bigger than single corks and sevens

I feel like I’ve seen dubs/future spins in both those events but maybe not jib league, only watched one epi so far . But either way those “style-based events” only have to exist because everything else has turned into gymnastics, so kind of a bad take

Put fireworks on your skis, hand drag off the lip while lighting them, become one of those helicopter type fireworks

Man fuck it, why limit to 2 skis? I wanna see a third ski (fis can consider it a pole) in the hand switch out in the air. Maybe even in a slopestyle run. Swap your rail skis with your jump skis mid run. The sky is the limit.

I saw a video of a guy unclipping mid-air and then landing with 1 ski and the other ski in his hand.

I can’t find back the video, but it was on Instagram.

FIS mandates every skier must ride with same bindings to regulate points awarded for correct grasp upon heel or toe piece while spinning.

Why would anyone want to see more advanced grabs when we could force skiers to hold useless bullshit in their hands to make the grabs harder instead?! Thanks FIS.
