early grab technique

so i have watched the early grab video by adam colton. i tried doing it the same style but its so uncomfortable. probably because im reatively tall. is a monkey grip as adam colton calls it still classified as a early brag. (both hands are on a rail each and yank up)

my question is a early grab when you grab bith rails one in each hand and yank up. is that still a early grab? or not considered proper technique

its still an early grab but it will hold back your air hight. skating puts your body in a lot of weird positions that are uncomfortable at the start... look at the tuck... the more you do it the more comfortable it becomes
