I just thought of a really hard grab

[bryceCTS]

well my first idea of an octo was this.. you cross then reach across your body, grab the tail of the right foot ski with your left hand while reaching across your body, andthen the left tail with your right hand so your like turning your body...

anyone ever thought of that?

 

[bryceCTS]

bump... well does anyone know what im talking about or want to try it since my seasons over

 

[Greenish]

i know what youre sayin. i'll give it a go tomorrow and most likely miss both tails by about 2 feet

 

[bryceCTS]

yea dude do it up that would be so epic if someone got it

 

[andy_boy]

Mad hard, and it would look pretty much the same as the Octo...

 

[poofartpee]

so pretty much turning ur torso 180deg and doing double tail grab?

 

[*DrewT*]

Acctually I"ve been thinking of how I can bring that to life for a while now. I tried it on water ramps last summer and concluded it was impossible but I've come up with a new way of getting it. Hopefully I'll be able to hit a decent sized jump before summer again though

 

[*DrewT*]

Acctually the jump would have to be like 60 feet minimum. Or really kicky like the one at the candide rail jam... but bigger

 

[solitaryman]

shit son... id do it but.. im not gonna get it so meh.

 

[bryceCTS]

maybe we can modify it so its just grabbing like the tail shafts of the skis rather the tips because i just put my skis on my rug and tried it its fucking impossible to get the tips, possibly if the knees were bent

 

[Greenish]

you'd def need to bend your knees. then you could do it.

 

[.d.]

shit thats sick

 

[Ahmets_Brother]

its called a blunt wrap, courtesy of nick lyons

 

[bryceCTS]

actually, your wrong... blunt wraps are just one hand you noob... my grab is like a harder octo

 

[Ahmets_Brother]

i read your description wrong, sorry. but a blunt wrap isnt 1 hand. a blunt is one hand. a blunt wrap is when you grap left tail with your left hand along with your right hand. double handed tail grab.

 

[bryceCTS]

this is like dub handed wrap around semi octo awesome grab

 

[C.R.420]

if this is what you mean, im pretty sure its impossible to reach both grabs..

sorry about the bad pic i made it in MS paint in like 3 minutes haha

 

[bryceCTS]

^ sortof but you reach around rather then crossing your arms.. ill tyry to draw it

 

[p-a]

you would need ape arms to do that one

 

[t_rob]

do forgot that the ape would have to be riding 300cm long skis that are foreward mounted plus 100 from center.

 

[bryceCTS]

well you can kinda see it there... but what im saying is like you dont have to grab the tips

 

[*monsterskier*]

that's good, but i have srta short arms. lol.

 

[freeskier2590]

I thought that's what an octo was.

 

[bryceCTS]

^ so did i, until i found out the true meaning

 

[finnafuckyobitch]

same

 

[C.R.420]

haha yeah for real.

 

[C.R.420]

i see what you're trying to say. looks like an octograb to me.

 

[erb-herder]

i have done the oppistie of an octograb. left hand right tail and right hand mute. Its pretty fun.

[dr_jibb]

hahah ive this exact thought before, its way tough. I was also thinking, garbing true tail with 2 hands on the same ski, i think it'd look sick, but my seasons done now ... so lame, summer can piss off and die.

 

[C.R.420]

my friend actually did this grab with a 360 once. i think i have video of it somewhere

 

[dmiller]

too difficult to make steezy
