I like it. Tail grabs in general are getting so diverse that we need to start categorizing them a little better.

Like blunt is outside hand outside ski -

Cuban is outside hand inside ski?

Yeah, that picture is almost a stale tho. right hand on left hand tail is a cuban and vise versa. But, usually people will cross them up a little. A stale is right hand left ski but down between the tip and binding, so you and really tweak it out and that has parallel skis.

theres no difference between crossed and uncrossed blunts, besides the fact that your skis are crossed or uncrossed. blunt just infers true tail, likewise with cuban and opposite true tail.

Meh, not really, i hate when people rename grabs for when you cross and dont cross cause 75% of the time you are trying to cross but just dont, or vise versa. Right hand to left tail and left hand to right hand tail in any way is a cuban. If you go down the ski towards the binding, its a stale, which are always parallel (a cross stale would be mad hard/look mad weird)

its a tail grab. do it on the tail. you can add on a leading trailing when the hands are switched. in that picture how much different/more or less difficult than grabbing on the other ski. he learned uncrossed tail grabs, then said hey what if i grab the other tail. same thing.

I dont do it everyday but im better at it than you

To me, style is the ability communicate a thought, feeling or idea through the physical gesture of skiing or in a difficult trick to make it appear styley and seemingly simple.

OK:

Left Spin, Right Hand, Right Tail = Blunt

Left Spin, Left Hand, Left Tail = Leading/Opposite Blunt

Left Spin, Right Hand, Left Tail = Cuban

Left Spin, Left Hand, Right Tail - Leading/Opposite Cuban

Vice versa for right side. If you go cuban and grab between tail and binding (not true tail) it is a stalefish. If you go blunt and grab between tail and binding (not true tail) it is a tindy or whever you want to call it (doesn't matter because it is a gay grab). Any questions?

You are not a SKIER, so how the hell would you know what you're talking about? get outta here. it is kinda a lot harder to grab cuban than blunt. serious precision.

and for anyone who's never heard of a cuban, where have you been? they have literally existed under that name as long as blunts have been around.
