I hate all this double grab bullshit.

Some look weird, i agree. But just knowing how tough they are to make smooth and such makes up for it.
 
I like it when Dumont does it cause it looks smooth as my bottom but it gets annoying when every kid in the park does does them
 
Disagree, the only one that I think looks bad is the Octo... and that's not even very bad. I think they're sick, they literally double the variety of grabs in our sport. That can't be a bad thing.
 
double grabs are generally sick. octos are prime. but I agree that simon dumont lost his style with the time, I like his huge truckdriver, when his legs were spread.
 
yeah charles octos look alot better than just a single grab like mute or tail i mean it is two in one how can you go wrong with that.

you cant rule out all double grabs, cus even though you hate agaisnt them, i bet theres at least one truck driver or octo you've seen that you think looks dope
 
i think most of them look good but some do look retarded. i cant stand the japan critical i mean its fun to do but it looks stupid just a japan is sick
 
I like most double grabs but I do think that some look pretty rediculous, but I still appreciate how difficult it is to do them, but one of my favorite double grabs is the double japan, especially Tanner Rainville's double japans off of the one rail in shanghai six
 
it's not progression if it looks fucking gay!!

double grabs are almost as homosexual as double flips!! fucking arial fags!!

 
if you mean double grab like octo and double mute like the pictures, yes it is hard to make them look good. however doule grabs in the sense of mute-to-tail, or japan-to-tail, or double-tail.....sickest thing ever
 
doublegrabs arent tech really or anything, i almost find them easier. skiing isnt about tech, noone even knows whats hard and what isnt you know? tricks havent been established yet so its just a big stunt show of what looks the biggest and most impressive.

i hope one day we can work it out,but its been 3 years and dudes can barley figure out unnatural and natural on rails.
 
p.s im not talking about what tricks the kids are doing, tons of kids have bothways stuff, just generally people get more hyped on more impressive natrual tricks yaknow
 
I love em, don't understand why you dont, but dub japans, octos, cruts, and such just look sick, but mostly with higher spins. slow spins look good with huge tails or mutes. I'm not much of a fan for dub true noses though, unless they are spread apart real whore-like, those are ill.
 
haha tanners sw 5 cruton in msp a few years ago was so ugly, as well as rainville's sw 9 mute to opp tails or vanulars rodeo 9 mute to japan... all so hideous. what are you talking about? hahaha i cant believe you said that.
 
I beg the differ.

if skiers only grabbed one ski then people would spend more time trying flips that look like aerials and that would be shitty progression. I like doubles(grabs...) the flips are okay if done by the right person.

 
its kind of a new thing, its something in the growing stages so it doesnt look super smooth yet, give everyone some time to get it nailed and start putting some more steeze money into it!
 
i love them, octos look so sick with big spins, double true tail, double high mute, and that critical/japan is my favourite when sammy c does them with switch 7s. All dubs look dope.
