from here you can edit it to the grab you like, here is mine i did
After you are done editing it, go to file / export / 3D model and save it as a "google earth 4 .kmz"
you will want to save it into the gnarshmallow / models folder under the name of a grab you would like to replace. I just change the mute grab because its first. You need to do this because you cant change the names in the actual code of the game as far as I know, so it will still have to call the correct name ( skiermodelmute) for it to do the new grab even though its a nose grab.
after you export it, you can go ahead and refresh the game and you should be good to go
as of now when i do the new grab, sometimes the Gnarsh changes to a different color and sometimes not, hopefully we will figure that out.
but there you go now you can go and make your own grabs, although sketchup isnt exactly easy to use.
here is the grab from the picture above in the .kmz file, ready to be put into the gnarshmallow / models folder, just replace the old mute file with this one, or change the name if you want it to replace some other grab http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WFLSFC5O
a big thanks to Quazbot for making this game down-loadable, for sure the sickest skiing game out there

Quoting teleTay$ from Aug 3 2009 5:50:23: when i have created a custom grab and exported sketchup as a .kmz the whole rider while in the position turns all PINK?is this because i am using Sketch Up 7?

Sweeet! Great job figuring it out.
Yes, you need Sketchup 6 for editing skiers. You need Sketchup 7 for modifying the snowboarders though. I didn't realize the two version made different .kmz files until after I had added snowboarding. Sketchup 7 names the materials on the .dae inside differently than 6, so you get the pink default material if you use 7 for editing skiers since the game can't find the materials named like version 6 does.
blech
As for other colours being messed up (I guess you are seeing the orange jacket, green pants, pink skis instead of what the game picks for you), I'm still trying to figure that one out.

apparently every .kmz file that has been uploaded to megaupload (such as Pman's and Reedskis' grabs) turn into .dae files when i download them. Am i doing something wrong?
how can i fix this?

works when i download it, the .dae is if you open it and extract it
when you download them, dont try and open them or anything, just save them to your desktop or something and then resave them into the gnarshmallow/ models folder the name of another grab you want to replace

If you could download the kmz file of the best sketchup in the "bang my rider" thread, could you replace skiermodel with that for a steezier little buddy?

If any of you sketchup-masters get some time, do you reckon you could do a steezier guy with poles?
