I don't have a pic of it, but i was curious if anyone could help me with the name of this grab? Its kind of like a safety but a little bit higher up and you kind of tweak it up so the ski you are grabbing is farther forward than the other ski... Im sorry if its hard to interpret what im explaining, but all help is appreciated.

That's the grab I was thinking of with his description. I believe it would just be called a high safety. The scissor effect is just a little steeze added in.

K. Now that there is a picture does anyone have an idea about what it is? I was thinking high safety at first but idk. and i dont think its a lui kang because then the ski im grabbing would go back not forwards...

no, a critical is similar but u grab the inside edge of ur oposite ski. and a bow and arrow grab is when you grab double safety but tweak them away from each other so it looks like you are pulling a bow and arrow

its basically a "high safety" or "sammy grab", he does them all the time and it has started to catch on. or you could be thinking of a "broken mute" like pk
