tweaked safety. there's a photo of LSM somewhere doing the single most proper method grab ive ever seen on skis... i think it was posted on here at one point? maybe in a news article? big upvotes if you find it

mattytruimo, after sitting on this a few days, a true method would be a super low, close to the binding, tweaked stalefish, not a tweaked safety
Honestly I think the only way to translate snowboard method to skiing both visually and technically is do the tweaked safety just like LSM but it has to be a zero spin so you're looking over your back not you front. In the air I can't think of anything that would look more methodyish.
There is no equivalent but you can tweak some grabs and make them look good. But i don't think there's really anything similar.
I would say maybe a zero spin. You could say thats not a grab and therefore not like a method but thats the closest thing imo. As far as grabs it's just different. A method is timeless and iconic. Zero spins have a similar vibe.
Emulating methods with grabs on skis is awesome i just don't think there's a specific grab that's relatable to a method.

Agreed. But I do think its fair to call that emulated grab a method- if we wanted to put a name on it. I think that specific tweaked safety like LSM is doing has the same vibe as a method and its definitely a way different feeling (and more difficult) than just grabbing tweaked safety to your side.
And I think if he did that same exact grab with zero spin, it would look even more like a method.
But yeah idk, maybe some snowboarders would be like fuck you a method is only for snowboarding, like Alta is only for skiing lol.
