this is a little embarassing but I had problems doing an ironcross last year when you say Iron corss I assume your refering to a Mute grab where you cross your skis and grab the opposite ski with the opposite hand. anyway I learned them by practicing them on the lift believe it or not just scoot very far forward on the lifechair(put the bar down obivously) Lean over the bar and practice corssing your skis I did this for about a week before I ever got a good one. But always remeber dont go down to you skis bring your skis up to you. Also Its ALOT EASIER if you tuck your legs behind you. Cuz if you dont youll be reaching over 1.youll look like a hunchback and no one will think it looks good 2. youll probably land in the backseat 3.Its a very easy trick once you get it just pop off the lip tuck your legs behind you and put the ski your grabbing on the boot of the ski your not grabbing. Grab it pull it back to you and dont forget to let go. Thats about all I can say about it. -good luck

What exactly do u mean by putting your legs behind you? Also Do i just bend my knees to get my skiis back. And my last question is is there a specific way to cross my skiis

cross whatever is most comfortable. i know alot of people cross left over right. that's what i do. but whatever is better. and yeah, just bend your knees to get it behind you. try just straight back scratchers first, straight up old school. practice actually hitting your back. they're a lot of fun. and an iron cross isn't technically a mute grab. if you grab it, then it is.

Iron crosses are hard, I learned back flips and underflips befor I could do an iron cross. Try and take your foot that you have the most control over and cross it with the other one.

i think it would be eaiser to master just crossing ur skis in the air, also master a tail grab, when u have mastered both try to combined the two tricks in one

just work on saftey grabs first, the key to it all is to tuck your knees up and bring the skis up to you. You shouldn't have to go to the skis but bring the skis to you
