Bow and Arrow grabs

How come people don't throw these anymore? Flat 5 b&a gotta be one of the best feeling tricks.

Love how they look a flat 3 with japan is beautiful but a flat 3 with a b&a just look immaculate

Honestly though that’s just a hard grab I can’t even touch my toes

It takes about as much flexibility as a dub nose grab that’s why I’m curious why pros don’t do it anymore

Specifically pros? Not sure I do think it’s a pretty interesting grab and honestly I think people have got less creative in general with grabs lately. I love safety blunt and mute but seems like people do way less variation now a days. I remember the stuff Vincent G was doing with weird screamin grabs (obviously harder than now and arror but still)

Not just pros. I just said that cause you don't see them in many edits/movies now

This single shot made it impossible for anyone to top. This is the pinnacle of what a bow and arrow grab should be. Everybody got shamed out of doing them because TJ took them to school in 2007.

In all actuality It's also kinda a weird grab and you gotta be pretty flexible and have the air time to do it. Kinda one of those niche grabs that when you see it you get hyped. ABM was doing a ton of them at x games a few years back

My brain cannot even think of a Bow and Arrow without thinking of this shot.

absolutely legendary segment (and movie), was a favorite as a kid. I was obsessed with this segment and Colby West's right before it. Can't believe its been 17 years...

these days Lemur does a pretty proper bow & arrow

I've edited ski films for 32 years now and I believe that's the only shot I've ever freeze framed in a flick. Seemed like the right time to do it. Glad it had the impact I was hoping for because I always loved that moment.
 
i actually went looking for this shot last night, ended up rummaging thru all the old freeze covers...

MUCH APPRECIATED!
