Tramp Series: Episode 3 - Basic Grabs

Air Positions in Freestyle Skiing

Introduction to Air Positions

  • The discussion begins with an overview of air positions in gymnastics, specifically focusing on tucks and pikes.
  • In freestyle skiing, the new trend involves performing grabs instead of traditional air positions.

Types of Grabs

  • The first grab introduced is the Safety Grab, where the skier grabs the side of their ski. This can be executed in various styles, either more compact (ball-like) or extended (kicked in front).
  • Next is the Mute Grab, characterized by crossing skis while grabbing the top ski. This technique emphasizes coordination and balance.
  • The Japan Grab is also discussed; it involves grabbing the foot that is behind or underneath. This grab presents a challenge as visibility is limited when your ski covers your hand.

Additional Grabs and Their Importance

  • Other notable grabs include:
  • Truck Driver Grab: Both skis are grabbed at the front, resembling a driving motion.
  • Tail Grab: Involves grabbing the back tail end of one’s ski, which can be done with crossed or uncrossed skis.
