Ok guys i need some help. I can easily do Safetys and Mutes, but Japan grabs just kill me. Any advice you can shoot to me???

Reach back like you're grabbing tail, but tuck on leg up, should come pretty easy

You should try doing a small shifty and then doing the japan.

its a really easy grab. lift your left leg up, keep your right leg straight. then reach behind with your right arm and grab your left ski behind the binding or just under the heel piece. looks best if the skis are perfectly parallel. i found it easier to learn than a mute

Screw japans, grab japan with your right(or left) and then safety with your left(or right). -->double grab. Much better looking and minimally harder
