I'm very comfortable with 3s and 5s and I'm trying to put some grabs in now. I know I need more air so I've been taking more speed into jumps. I tried some noses and mutes and i would always stop at 180. any tips? what was the first grab YOU learned to put into spins?

Ridiculous

i started off doing straight air grabs. just all kinds of them. My first spin with a grab was a mute. I just kinda lifted up my left foot and spun a 3 switch. I don't really know why, I jusut like grabbing with my right hand...but whatever, just commit, and make sure you lift up your knees.

bring the grab to your hand instead of reaching for the grab...

it will help you stay ballanced and it will help the speed of the rotation..

yea work on safety's, mutes, possibly tails...

think about gettin the rotaion first and hen the grab, if you focus on goin for the grab before the rotation, chances are your not gonna make it around unless your bombin off a huge table...

good luck man

start spinning then worry about grabs, just suck your feet up dont try to reach for the grab make the grab come to you

okay here is how i do it

1. set the spin off the jump

2. first lift your foot you are crossing over the ski for mute or blunt grabs

3. then reach down or to the tail for the grab, for mute you can bring the grab more up to you but the main thing is first set your spin then cross the skis then reach for the grab
