BiffbarfChris weddle invented the mute grab. It was called the mute grab because he was deaf. Tony Hawk recently said that's kinda insensitive, and it should be named after him instead.
alpha.mooseCan't speak to the double genie, but the fact that Chris Weddle is getting the recognition he deserves is fucking legit. Very stoked about this.
keagan.karstensCan you cork 3
I asked him last year as I was diving into trick origins and he said he would have rather named it the “deaf” or “Weddle” grab if given the choice. His exact quote to me was “I am deaf, not mute.”
AlexHallsEyebrowVery disappointed in the game, when it came out it looked like it was going to be half decent but watching people play it, it’s just kinda eh….it just doesn’t look like my style

skiermanhow the fuck do you not know about the genie grab?
shinbangclanas much as we should pay homage to the pioneers of our sport there aint no way im calling out "weddle grab" in practice
tricks should sound as cool as they look
skiP.E.I.You can watch Vinnie Gagnier doing the Genie grab here https://www.newschoolers.com/videos/watch/750941/Vincent-Gagnier-wins-gold-in-GoPro-Ski-Big-Air
animatorI remember watching this and freaking tf out, first time I saw someone do this IRL
skiP.E.I.Yeah I had the same reaction. I miss Vinnie in comps, he always did something interesting.
GrandThingsZip up your coat and tuck in your earbuds my guy.
SofaKingSickgood news, the world had a meeting and voted that they don't care if you call it a mute grab when you call out tricks in practice (?) to bryce and aiden
