I was practicing grabs in my backyard, and I did this :

https://www.reddit.com/r/skiing/comments/lr2x4h/i_was_trying_new_grabs_and_landed_this_does/

At first, I thought I succesfully landed an octo grab. But... After a quick search...

I'm pretty sure it's not an octo grab because it would involves :

- gripping the tail of my left ski with my left hand (like a tail grab) and

- gripping the front tip of my right ski with my right hand (like a nose grab).

In the grab I did, I am :

- gripping the tail of my left ski with my right hand (like a stalefish grab) and

- gripping the front tip of my right ski with my left hand (like a critical grab).

Alright... So, what's the name of this trick? Is this also called an "octo grab" even if it's technically different? Is this simply called a "Critical Stalefish"? What is this?

Thank you!

Cool! This grab doesnt have a name yet I dont believe

This is very similar to the Evan McEachran double grab, except you grab the opposite edges of your respective skis (he grabs mute + japan, you grab critical + stale)

I realized the link to the video link isn't quite working, so here it is :

It surely looks like Evan McEachran double grab! Thanks!

As if it's an octo grab variant or not, I'm not sure. As I said, it's very technically different to reach your hand on your opposite skis rather than reaching the ski on the same side. But, regarding the "terminology", it might also be called an octo grab. It might be a bit like the "double tail grab", which (I think) refers to multiple kind of grabs.

isnt that called a venom grab? kind like a double blunt but in the front of the ski? I could def be wrong tho

venom would be grabbing the inside of both your skis and pushing them outwards, so basically the opposite of a double toxic
