i love skiing and jumps but i have been struggling with grabs while i am spinning. i can spin 5's but when i try and throw in a grab i lose all my momentum and cant get around a 3. i can safety grab but it doesnt have the style that i want. any tips on what grabs to try or other help?

i do a lot of mutes. they only really slow you down if you tweak. just throw harder if you are under rotating.

Lame

1) pop then spin and look at the direction you´re spinning towards
2)after 90 degrees huk your knees up to your chest, but still look at the direction that you are spining against
3)grab but don´t reach for it let it come to you if you know what i mean, otherwise it will get you off balance.
4)bang bang you landed it (rideaway)

I hope this helps

most people try to grab the instant they set the spin. So... set the spin, chill a bit in the air and make sure you feel balanced, then go for the grab.

i have the same probblem with locking and tweaking certian grabs, since you can grab saftey, slap your hand on there (dont squezzzeee) then you can just slide it back as you send you heels into you ass . boom you have a sick tail grab

hope that makes sense, it helps me alot when im haveing trouble grabbing

Yea, just think about setting a really good spin with a good pop. don't even think about your grab until you are off the jump. start going for it when you are at 90. Patience really helps.

It's just like hooking up with girls.
Don't immidiatly grab her tits, get to know her first and grab them when the moment is there and it feels good.

Basically You gotta spin before grabbing.
