[gregor]

Anyone wanna sponsor me?

No seriously it really got me pumped

 

[thrasher*TB]

wow your pro

 

[*LINESKIER165]

well if someone could explain what the fuck that is ?

octograb

 

[thrasher*TB]

fall off a cliff or.....search bar

 

[philipc]

for some reason i think this would be harder than it sounds

 

[cobra_commander]

it's so hard, I cant even do it when I am on the ground. my body just does not do that.

 

[gregor]

Its like a tweaked left hand high safety, right hand tail on different skis, crossed up. Its good for me anyway, bitch all you want!

 

[Sideways_Shane]

sounds sick

 

[invader7]

good job

 

[Ahmets_Brother]

gagnier stole my trick

 

[spere]

they are fun, i leaned octo 7's this weekend and yes i am claiming it

BOOYAAAHHH

 

[poofartpee]

u know no one likes u right?

 

[tha_CF]

my friend can do sw 5 octos

 

[Dustin.]

me either, you gotta be flexy

 

[thefilmerguy]

octo's are the new truckdriver, and they are played, but i still cant do them

 

[kepler.]

except octos are wayy harder than a lame ass truck driver. any one can lean forward and grab there tips. octo grabs are totally legit

 

[aznpcskier]

yo octos are pretty easy Im not going to lie

 

[nitsua]

niceee.

 

[Albino]

i cant even do it on the ground with my skis on. kness wet meant to fucking bend like that

 

[wdbo.]

do you want a fucking parade?

 

[MattMcGinnis]

i definitely still cant. its really frustrating

 

[Stan_Darsh]

sweet. i got octo 5's last weekend and i was definately pretty pumped. way to go

 

[kenevil]

i think ill try one tommorow

 

[MadSteezin]

was it like .05 seconds long?

 

[steeze540]

octa grabs are so hard i can't even get one on the ground

 

[iskilibertys]

not true, i can octo, but i cant truck or nose

and for some claiming...my friend learned sw cork 10 octo the other day

 

[SHastatahoe]

I did a trucker octo 1440 over chads last weekend.

 

[darrel]

im going to be the 4th person or so to say.... i cant even do them on the ground, lolz

 

[SnowMedic]

i too will claim it. with stretching its not that hard, but i cant do it like gumby the pro skier can.

 

[tjski]

word dude, me 2. hard as hell to bend and twist like that.

 

[theoz]

now do it with a fakie 12

 

[slaydave]

how are they played dude? nobody can freaking do them really... and an octograb isnt when ur crossed up and crouched up in a ball grabbing a little in front of one binding, and a little behind the other... its when ur out on the tip and tail... with it soooo crossed that the tips are pointing with the tails... and ur looking through that shit...

lika so... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lWq3X2E7mw

 

[gregor]

Ha! My new octo got me 3rd in a big air! I love octo's!

 

[skithedirt]

ru joking

 

[bryceCTS]

octograbs got nothin on the screamens

 

[triebby]

its true

 

[jaylib]

bumpp, SEARCHBAR!

 

[hoodratz47]

did it first try... not that hard... henious for sure. not like opp hand crital

 

[mid-west-jibbin]

I've tried an octo, just I couldn't get my skis back in time to land. Which didn't turn out so hot haha.

My hill doesn't really have a "good" jump for doing shit like that, which takes a long time. Instead of building jumps with lip, they build them for gaps, which you barely get any air. I'd prefer a 25' jump with a shitload of lip rather than a 45' with none.

 

[SHastatahoe]

Its all about the no grab.

 

[WILCOX]

i love the octorab its a dope grab

 

[Sleet]

I give you props on that. I cant even do it when i am sitting on the chair lift. I swear, to do an octograb you need to be gymnist or somehting or just hella flexible. Nice job man

 

[ButteredToast.]

Neat! I have a chubbi!

 

[KellyK]

congrats....but no one really wants to hear it

 

[jahmin44]

deffinatly my favorite grab, yet i will never be able to do it.

 

[titsLOL]

omg octograb what is that? what am i????

 

[jahmin44]

i do, and this is actually a pretty good thred.

 

[SushiMan]

looks soooo sick, i wanna learn, BUT OMG i cannot bend my leg like that, i can get the tail, but not even close to getting the other ski close to my hand

 

[Silence]

medal/showbag?

 

[solitaryman]

you're azn you can bend like a rubberband you have no say in this

 

[KRAMPUSNTROLLZ]

good job you are my hero
