Mute Grab Question

[shortdawg]

Does it matter which ski you grab? And if i'm spinning to the left off a jump which ski would be easier to grab. Haven't really tried them much this year so i'm just wondering.

If theres already a thread on this kindly point me in its direction, or you could just tell me here

if you are spinning left, most people grab left ski with their right hand

I swear Im dyslexic... I grab right ski with left hand.. but I also grind left foot forward

And what does that have to do with dyslexia? Dyslexia is difficulty with language, like reading/writing

then Im just stupid...?

but seriously I thought dyslexia is when you like read and do everything backwards..

dyspraxia? coordination problems

i think left hand to right ski is easier when spinnin left bc u can pull it into the spin

[stompdat]

personal preference?

Do what feels right.

 

[smooticus]

Yea its not like theres guidelines or anything, do what feels natural. and when youve got it down film it and see what variation looks god on you

i find it easier when u grab with the spin. opposite mutes do look sick tho

 

[steve.o]

just reach down with your right hand and grab your left ski, one of the easiest but funnest grabs

i think leading mutes look sick, but i do trailing. i cant grab with my left hand, it just doesnt feel right

 

[Manlenium]

Correct. Its also called a mute, because you dont talk about how amazing it was that you did one.

 

[AC_breezy]

spin left most likily youll grab with your left hand

 

[Gharf]

nope this is untrue

for mute grab, if you spin left you want to grab with your right hand so you can tweak without stopping your rotation.

If you spin left and grab left hand this is called reverse mute (or leading mute i think) and looks super sick cause it stops your rotation when you tweak.

it s mad hard to get a nice one though.

i always grab right ski with left hand, but im no park guru so don't take my advice

 

[strongmark]

you get airtime, grab your right submarine with your left anchor, capture an octopus, and make it buy you a lollipop cuz ya said so.

 

[JaphyRyder]

for most people its easiest to grab left ski with right hand when spinning left...but if you are comfortable with right ski left hand, leading mutes look dope

I got a question when you guys throw mutes where you grab right with left hand.. which ski is on top of the cross.. right or left?

 

[stompdat]

I grab the ski that is on top for reg. mute. Then you can tweak it easier maybe.
