Hmmm, on going big I guess that just takes balls, if you can do it on vacation then its in you. I dont know, but for your mutes try and pull your legs up with your hands. For me, my legs dont go that way unless I really pull on my skis.

Dude, I had totally the same problem when trying to tweak out mutes. What happens is that a tweaked on is kinda different altogether. If you are doing a non tweaked mute then you are leaning down and grabbing skis that are crossed and your feet are pigeon toed. However a tweaked one you have a straight back and are grabbing at the side of your body rather than in front of it. It is quite hard sometimes to grab and then tweak. For learning it is much easier to tweak and then grab. What I did was to air, go into a back scratcher position and at the same time I would point the non grabbing ski straight at the ground and bring the other one across, when it gots to about 45 degrees from the ground grab it and pull it up so that you have a nice perpendicular angle between the two skis, now you are tweaking and looking super stylie, let the grab go and the grabbing ski will automatically fall back down, bring your knees back up and totally uncross at the same time, then stomp it! If you don't quite understand what I mean just send me a message and I'll draw you some pictures and zap them to ya. Jibtibs: Mute Grab with PhattTim, haha, peace bros
