Mute grab

Unpopular opinion but I think mute grabs are superior to blunts, they look better and it’s a much more fun grab

anyone agree or am I alone on this?
 
Inb4 [tag=284316]@JackMeHoffXD[/tag] tries and fails to roast this thread and brags about his " dub 9's " he's always doing.
 
These threads always forget that different grabs look better with different axis. Mute and blunt both look like shit with a front flip, but a truck driver doesn’t. I think blunts and back of ski grabs for corks are savory, but forward grabs for forward flips are sweet. Just me tho not like I can even do the things I just said lololo

Blunts are like 9 times harder, stylish, hard to rotate(unless cork)

It fully depends on trick. Personally, ive never landed a decent cork 7 without making the blunt grab. Rodeos and flatspins make mutes the sexiest thing ever. A regular 360 looks better with a tweaked safety than anything else. Which grab looks the best depends on how/who is doing it

I literally can't wrap my head around grabbing blunt this season. Last year I was getting blunt locked on 180s this year I literally am unable to grab it, maybe it's grabbing mute and nose and truck too much but idk I also have an irrational fear of dipping my tips when landing reg.

Weird thing is I see kids grabbing tail all day and struggling with mute which I just don't really understand because mute is so much more natural for me.

I've also literally never corked other then switch cork 5 but I don't got a big enough jump to get grabbing on it.

Think about it more like bringing your heels up, not pointing your toes down. As you bring your heels up, turn your head and watch your ski tip, then put your hand there. Don't stop watching until you feel the grab solid, then you can spot the landing.

-there are some 100% mohair skins. i guess ski touring on those would be considered skiing but not sliding on plastic

-old school skis used pine tar or something like that instead of plastic.

but i wouldnt say those conditions make you a skier
