Uncrossed mute?

[TheButterHashira]

I know there is the mute where you just reach down without crossing your skis, but on jiberish uncrossed mute involves crossing the skis so much that they go uncrossed, but point in the opposite direction. Pretty much tweaking the cross as far as your knees allow.

what is the question youre asking here...?

 

[Forcillo]

I think there's an uncrossed mute (no cross, just grab) and and unmute (Knee destroyer)

What is an uncrossed mute? I guess the grab in the video is just a really tweaked mute. Seems like a bit of a throwback grab because I saw a few in ski movie 2. Needs to make a resurgence because it's pretty damn cool. I've seen walllisch do them, but he doesn't do them quite as good as cosco.

uncrossed mutes are a sick grab, but its kind of hard not to cross your skis because youre basically pulling your left ski with your right hand. you have to tweak it out a lot id assumer

Martini does sick ones

uncrossed mute would pretty much just be critical. Uncrossed mute is like the one in the vid.

Chris Turpin WSI 2002, called a parallel grab though

Critical: right/left hand on the inner edge of the left/right ski ;

(uncrossed) mute: right/left hand on the outer edge of the left/right ski
