Wait for the grab. I've been really working on going for the grab in the last 1/4 of the spin instead the of the first 1/4, when you grab early you screw up and die. Also, stretch.

i can get trucks like every time and im not that flexible. the trick is bending your knees just enough that you can grab it THEN extending your legs and keeping your grip. after a few tries you can get them consistently.

be able to bend over, legs straight and together, and put both hands flat on the ground.

Stretch every day for at least 15 minutes. You will see results in a couple weeks if you are dilligent about it.
