Does it ever look better to not grab while spinning/flipping?

off rails grabs look kinda weird imo. the only time it looks good to not grab off jumps is when there is a shifty, screamin seamen or something like that

to me, the more spins the more important. a 10 with no grab will look way worse than a 3 with no grab

They are not important, nor are spins and flips. Find the gnarliest line that is possible to ski, stay on your feet, and make it down alive. That's all that really matters.
