There is no difference between blunt grab and tail grab

[g_lectrolyte]

Prove me wrong. If you tell me blunt is when you grab the very tip of the tail, isn’t that the point of grabbing TAIL? Does it have something to do with the hand you grab with in relation to the ski? Tail is not uncrossed because if it is they call it uncrossed tail?? Blunt grabs could literally be called tail grabs and vice versa. Post up other stupid/confusing trick names in this thread or defend the blunt grab I guess. Not hating on the grab itself FYI just like why do we have 2 names for the same thing?

As far as I've always understood tail is exclusively uncrossed, this being the difference from blunt. Never heard uncrossed tail but could be regional? Not saying I'm 100% right but that's how I think of it

tail grab = blunt, cuban, stale, debatably tindy too

blunt is specifically hand on same side ski (right hand on right tail). usually crossed or otherwise you’d call it uncrossed blunt. cuban is opposite ski (right hand left tail) and is pretty much always uncrossed. some people cross the skis a bit behind the binding with cuban, see c-lo cork 9 cuban. stale is the same as cuban just on the outside not capped. tindy is the same as blunt but on the outside not capped.

yeah, OP if it helps, "tail grab" means grabbing the tail generally, and blunt is often called "true tail"

 

[SofaKingSick]

and no name i can think of denotes crossed vs uncrossed, people just choose to say it sometimes to be more descriptive, e.g. "uncrossed blunt"

there is a difference. think nose grab vs high safety, a high safety could be grabbed really close to the tip but people would still refer to it as a high safety, not a nose grab cause it’s not from the very tip.

So blunt is just a flavor of tail grab. To me like stale and tindy are distinctively their own grabs. Is Cuban opposite hand/ski? Like right hand capping left tail? Those are all so distinct and like that one guy said it might be regional tbh but in a game of skate or whatever I can’t tell the difference between tail and blunt. If you don’t cap your tail grab it’s a tindy or stale or something else entirely. But if u wanna call a true tail a blunt that’s cool too I guess? Just don’t know why we got so many names for things

yeah, blunt is capped same ski as the hand you grab with. tindy is whiff the cap but same ski as grab hand. cuban is capped opposite ski. stale is outside/not capped near the tail of the opposite
