theres no real tip to it, just keep practising and go for it. try going on a bigger hit if you are confortable as it will give you more time to perfect the grab and get it to where you want it

just tweak the cross you are doing and grab safety or critical or something not too hard..after you got the cross down then hit some bigger air to get time for the grab.

Tuck it up and point your toes in. Also, the ski that crosses over the other doesn't have to be right on top of the bottom one. It can be a little above. It also helps to poke them out the the side a bit, as it puts your ankles at a better angle to get a good cross. Once you start grabbing them, you can really push or pull your ski to make it better. If you have a trampoline or something, practice there. It really does help. Just keep doing them though and you'll get them.

make sure you get the grab in your muscle memory before you try spinning with it

give up now !!! lol joke. simple trick : when i do my mutes i bring the ski that I grab towards my other knee. if you bring it there it naturaly crosses and the tip is inches from ur hands. all you have to do is reach in a couple inches. also dont forget to bring the other legg up and point that ones nose down.
hope it helps

I honestly don't like the look of tweaks, they kinda look gay to me but whatever floats your boat man, more power to ya. I guess tweaking would be somethin like getting the grab, then pulling it in super hard.
