There are tricks, grabs, and styles that have come and gone in skiing over the last decade, but there’s one long lost grab that is greater than them all– the infamous Huntony.

During the first couple years of skiing’s “newschool movement” the Huntony was one of the grabs made famous by the likes of JP Auclair, JF Cusson, Mike Douglas and Shannon Schad. It’s more or less an overly tweaked mute grab that is pulled into the opposite thigh while the other leg is bent back like a daffy or back scratcher.  To use more common grabs as reference, I guess you could say it’s a daffy mute grab, but that sounds really lame.

What’s interesting is that grabs and old school tricks always seem to come and go, but the Huntony just hasn’t been trendy again in almost a decade.  It’s one of the original “newschool skiing” grabs and probably not one skier under the age of 25 could tell you what a Huntony is.  We even searched it on NS and only found one thread, 4 photos, and zero videos. BroBomb is on a crusade to change this, because there might just be potential for the Huntony in today’s scene.

So, we would like to reward those who will help us bring back the overly tweaked mess that is the Huntony.  Every month “Know Your Roots” will feature the Huntony of the Month.  The best photo of YOU performing a Huntony posted on the BroBomb Facebook wall will be featured on BroBomb.com, and you’ll get some sort of schwag.  This month the winner will receive a bunch of stickers and a sick ass Orage t-shirt.

Go tweak it to your knee, and let’s make the founding fathers proud!
