What grabs look the best, are the hardest, wich ones look the sickest, and tips on how to do grabs.

I think the bow and arrow grab looks sick and is extremly hard.

i think its when you cross the front of your skis and grab one of your tails.
is that what your thinking by true tail?

ah i see.
crossed blunts are more popular i think.

Guitars are my favorite, there definitely the most underrated grab. Switch 9 guitar always wins in my book.

i posted a question in the trick tip forum 2 years ago, and it wasn't answered.  I still don't know what its called when you grab right ski with right hand - safety- but out in front. so the left ski doesn't come up, but the right one does. There's a ridicco one in the pipe seggy in Turbo (Duncan Adams maybe???)

yehppers thats what it's called.

A lot of people like to kick out the non-grabbed ski really quickly for style points. It looks sick.

I thought a kang was when you grabbed right underneath your back binding and bulled the ski back. What tom did there I would just consider high safety but he just tweaked and made it look sick. Sammy had some sick ones in Yeah Dude.

Am I right or wrong?

i think criticals (right hand to left nose with skis straight) and bow and arrows look cool.

for flatspin 540's the "bow and arrow" is a very nice grab, and so hard because it's a double grab.
I think i would call it the "signature grab" of TJ Schiller

A little bit of both and it really depends on the grab. Suck up your legs and reach with your hand. Mostly it's a happy medium between reaching with your hand and sucking up your legs. Spot the ski with your eyes where you want to grab it and reach. Then continue to look in the direction you are spinning and spot the landing. Stomp and ride away.
