easiest grab with a 360 is a safety. It makes the spin smoother too.

I disagree with safety being an easy grab to start with, I think the easiest grab is tailgrab because you simply lift your legs and there it is:P

Try a mute grab out too, it feels kinda weird but just practice grabbing it on the chairlift or something and it will make it alot easier

safety is defiantly the easiest grab in a three but i find any leading hand grab pretty easy

cab? i mean seriously? just call ti switch. for some reason cab annoys me, because its a snowboarding term and i never knew what it meant. end rant. but i personally dont think saftey 3's are easy. i cant do them at all. its screws my spin all up.

Really? A safety is the easiest grab for me to do with a spin. It's harder for me to get a tail or mute, and I find the safety helps me control the spin. And I thought cab meant like a truck driver for some reason for the longest time.

get crazy comfortable with spins and 3s and everything, once you are 100% confident that you can land it 100% of the time you should also be comfortable taking youie eyes off the spin and still knowing where you are inthe air. So look down, find skis and grab whereever you want. They come easier with practice

Join Chris Turpin's ASK TURPIN cult. There's great advice in there from Turpin and Frank Raymond on all sorts of tricks, including 360s.

Good luck!

i can do the gnarliest safety 180's but anything more than that i cant for some reason. i may need to try kicking it out too the side because thats how i do my 1's. i need to try some nice grabs though. seatbelts are easy, its like grabbing safety but the opposite ski. reach across like a seatbelt  and grab under the opposite boot
