Put more weight on your front boot and then you'll be fine

Grab ski

You basically just slap your skis the first couple times. It takes a bit to grab and not slash your gloves

that suuuure is a lot of gloves!!! Seems pretty unsafe, wonder why they call it a “safety” grab!!!!

The safety grab is actually the safest grab as long as you land it perfectly

I'm trying to imagine this. Is this the reach down and grab version while you're on a rail?

Yeah most tricks don't actually require a landing but safety grab does

I’m so disappointed to hear that because I’ve never done a trick that you have to land never seen it done really

The key to actually landing tricks like that is to do them without falling

the key is to already have held on to your skis before taking off the jump. try it and lmk if it works.

Hit or miss?

Username checks out

Username checks out

yes it may also be due to the fact that every night i set out candles in the shape of a pentagram and sacrifice goats. but no, i think it's my username that does it

just do a backflip already

 

[michigang]

just do a backflip already

you're right, it's time, I'm gonna do one because its easier than safety grab bc you can keep your weight on your back foot like a hockey stop

More edge than your ski

that's a really good tip, maybe I'll hold on to the jump too so it looks smoother

 

[Evantheshredster]

I went through 69 pairs

I absolutely ruined 420 pairs of kinco's before I got it
