What is the best looking straight air grab

[chimpansteeze]

Saw some snowboard kid pull a sick tweaked out method under the lift yesterday. Got me thinking, snowboarding has a ton of grabs that look cool straight aired and skiing seems to have like none. In my mind a good method is pretty much the only one. Maybe a really shifty-ed safety?

 

[Grom]

id say a safty grab when u tweak it out a lot but u gotta tweak it out

 

[GANDALF]

tweaked high safety or an uncrossed blunt/shifty thingy

 

[gorbdawggybrent]

idk what it’s called, maybe stale? but like you put both your tails straight up uncrossed and reach back and grab em

Stale is right hand grabbing back left side of left ski behind you (or vice versa of course) and agreed it's the dopest grab esp for straight airs

 

[ASSholebomber22]

LSM style tweaked safety or blunt/tail (skis together)

 

[ASAPCarter]

Another vote for tweaked ass stales

 

[dolanslebensraum]

Just learn to 360 ffs

 

[powpatrol]

octo

 

[Lemuel]

Big ole mute grab

 

[Rich_D]

I always thought a huge tweaked safety was the method equivalent

 

[oldmanski]

Couple grabs from the other day in the backyard

 

[deathvalley69]

Tail grab just behind the binding with a shifty

 

[gilbertressel]

Mute grab fasho. Tweaked safety also gangster

 

[olic]

That's why shifties exist, a fully tweaked out shifty on a straight air will look better than any straight air grab... you can't change my mind!

As for worst straight air grab... gotta be a Truck Driver surely!?

 

[BigNol]

Stales or cubans

 

[jakeordie]

Flying squirrel

 

[little1337]

an old school mute

 

[Jems]

i love how i can cork 7 but i can barely safety grab straight air

i can’t tail grab either never have never will

 

[Bended_Toenail]

bow & arrow just cause it looks weird.

bonus points for Screamin semen with Bow and Arrow grab

 

[animator]

Big ole mute grab

JP style tweaked Mute grab is easily my favorite to watch

 

[hi_vis360]

we need to bring back liu kangs, it's all about that leg kick

I'm a huge fan of the straight air truck driver, but I gotta admit it looks a little wack

 

[GayWolf420]

im thinking about that one shot in a Faction edit of Adam Delorme taking a tweaked safety straight-air to the moon and back and thats probably it for me lol

 

[Jhaek]

Lui Kang tweaked with a proper kick to the side, or a Japan the same way look pretty good.

But tweaked high safety or tweaked stale for the win ?

we need to bring back liu kangs, it's all about that leg kick

 

[oldspicewalrus]

Screamin Seamen is a sick trick not a grab but looks so clean

 

[daveSpaghetski]

Imo the most stylish move you can do in a straight air is ust keep your skis together and shifty them a little bit... Damn I freaking love that shit

some examples

I like just dipping the tips down and to the side a bit with arms up

 

[poofartpee]

tweaked safety (skier method) or stalefish

 

[-olives]

stalefish or jap imo. stale looks better but japan feels better especially if you tweak that shit out
