So I know you can take off from a jump while holding a grab

[UFOsarereal]

but can you land while still holding a grab? Is that within humankind's physical capabilities? not counting rails (I think I've seen someone hold safety onto & during a rail before)

 

[.ZT.]

What like holding your tip or tail uncrossed while landing??? Maybe.

 

[UFOsarereal]

^yeah. I'm imagining someone taking off switch holding nose, doing a sw3 & landing holding their nose or something similar.

if someone could figure out how to take off or land with a fully crossed up mute, that'd be rad, too.

 

[TheUngroomed]

You'd afterbang hard, but I dont see why it couldn't be done

transfer and landing while still holding the grab, sacrificing the digits to get shots. Well worth it in my opinion.

 

[UFOsarereal]

yeah

YEAH

that's what I'm talking about....

Proof is in the puddign

 

[ColinB]

most grabs would fuck your body up if you tried to land while grabbing, purely because to land you need your legs to absorb the impact

 

[DayMan]

That was so dope

 

[KillaSteeze]

Would be pretty hard to not smash your hand if you were holding something other then nose or tail

If anybody can land with their skis crossed/while holding a grab, it's Charles Gagnier, the stuff he does is insane, (1:24)

nose 180, easily could land it

 

[theabortionator]

whats the point?

 

[Crispy.]

What's the point of any trick?

Enjoy the ACL tears!

 

[loganimlach]

LSM is the fucking man!

 

[Nate.Dog]

fuuuu... I feel bad for his knees

 

[GANDALF]

Luke tanaka almost crushed his fingers at WSC this year. Held that grab like it was his job

 

[GANDALF]

Maybe if you landed switch doing true nose really hard so that your noses are pulled away from the snow. That's some Henrik shit.

I don't think it would look very good

 

[ny300z]

do it just cause its something new? cause i dont think it looks good at all.

no one strokes themselves mid air either but that doesnt mean someone should

 

[Wolfgang.]

I think if you grab nose landing switch, or tail landing forward it would look really sick, just hold the tip of the ski so your fingers don't go under and get smashed,

 

[_Ryan]

He almost smashed his fingers

 

[DeRizzo]

yeah kinda but NOT COUNTING RAILS

 

[d00d]

not on a rail would be crazy, absolute sketch. Risk it to get the biscuit!

 

[Skibumsmith]

Christ! watching that shit hurt my knees. Charles Gagnier is something else. He's one of the only skiers with a truly unique style.

 

[Banane.]

Yea, I love watching him, he always do something crazy and look to have so much fun skiing.

The hand is faster Than the eye

Since this thread was made, kai Mahler has landed still holding safety and Jesper can switch front and land still holding nose

Yeah - when I got the notification about this thread being bumped, Kai's carved safety landing popped into my head instantly. I haven't seen Jesper's maneuver... sounds fucked.
