In the upper echelons of the pro circuit, they are just as important. Would Torstein Horgmo’s first triple cork have been as legitimate had he not grabbed his board? Not a chance. Obviously there are a few exceptions to the rule, but for pretty much everything else, it’s a must.

The Dangerzone crew know this, and showcase their grabbing steeze in this video. Better than the grabs, though, is the pisstake voiceover, which anyone who’s seen First Descent will appreciate: “Current snowboarding is breaking barriers as significant as Apollo 13’s flight into space”. Ha! They do make a serious point at the end though: “style will always resonate above stunts”. Well said.
