What is this grab called?

[[MEGAMO]]

I don't know if it already exists, it came to me in programming class today. Skis crossed, both knees up to your chest, grab the ski on the bottom with both hands, one in front of your boot, and one behind.

don't know the name but i've seen and done it a few times

 

[gregor]

You can do this grab? Sounds like you'd have to eat your knees while you were doing it!

 

[Octopus]

whoa.
that would be like a double japan grab with a mute

 

[skiP.E.I.]

like a double japan/crouton, but with skis crossed, or grabbing on the outside edge? one hand on outside edge and one on inside edge would be sickter.

 

[PhilboydStudge]

sick grab would be a mute on the top ski with your right hand, and a japan on the bottom ski with your left hand

 

[skiP.E.I.]

yeah, I've done that a few times but I'm not good enough to even spin with it. It's almost like an octograb though, depending on how crossed your skis are. And wow. when I started my first post, no one else had replied yet.

i actually thought about that, like if you put your forward hand on the outside and the backward hand on the inside to really torque it out. and no i've never tried this, i just thought of it in class today

 

[no_steeze]

what i did is bring my skis up behind me kinda, it's awkward but i kinda did it by accident trying to figure out cool grabs. it doesn't feel good and according to my friends it doesn't look that good either, i would imagine it being very hard to spin doing it

 

[Lemuel]

would it be like crossing the skis, then grabbing in front of and behind the right binding?. i dont exactly know what a double jap is but a regular jap is grabbing behind the opposite bindings, so this wouldnt be a double jap because its the same ski? correct me please if i am wrong

 

[snarfsnarf44]

imagine a screaming seaman-daffied-octograb. hip dislocation recipe

 

[skiP.E.I.]

double japan is kind of a misnomer, because if you were grabbing right ski, left hand grabs inside edge of ski behind binding, right hand grabs inside edge in front of binding. Its also soemtimes referred to as a crouton.

is this what your talking about? if so i've been wondering what its been for a while, i've always done em but enever known the name...

 

[no_steeze]

i was doing that one but lower down so it looked like a mute, that looks way better

 

[Lemuel]

thank you for clearing that up for me. the grab he is describing is like that but outside edge at the tip and with left hand on the tip and right on the tail end of the binding. its like a mute with a pushed back saftey. idk what to call it

 

[Karcher]

doesnt sean fields do that?

 

[[MEGAMO]]

basically that grab, but on the bottom ski instead of the top one like you did. i was also thinking this would look sweet if you did it behind you rather than in front

 

[Beefcake]

agreed

 

[.SimonB.]

dont loose a finger

 

[A_Davis]

Thats guitar, im almost positive. and the grab your talking about would be sick but impossible if u could grab in front of the toe piece on the bottom ski, with right hand, and then true tail on the same ski with left hand while they are crossed in a mute.

 

[Alex_G]

you should do it so you can claim it and then make a name for it so that nobody else tries it

 

[Craigskis]

That is wack! Bet it's never been done since...

I think you mean a genie grab kid..

 

[bigwhite.steeze]

no, its not. guitar is both hands on the front of one ski.

 

[orange.]

cool leg bag

 

[A_Davis]

Oh i couldnt see the pic right i thought thats what was going on

 

[lydiaiskwllol]

I'm in

 

[creighton]

is it this!?

 

[Calb3rt]

nope

 

[wunderskier]

it could just be a modified octograb
