Can't reach grab

[B1kessk1s]

first of all the jump is maybe too small but anyway it was a good place to practice on. second i dont know what is that flip and i dont really care hahaha the only thing i want is to reach my skis to do a dub safety on it, but i cant reach my skis in mid air. maybe someone has a tip or something or a video that show how to do a grab when upside down..

you have to just practice, you will eventually get it

i would say try a bigger jump

you hucked it so hard you had no time to get a solid grab even if you could reach it

Bring your feet up dont reach down just let your hand hang there and bring your skis to your hands. works, and looks steezy.

A bigger jump is what you need.

did not see vid but maybe pop harder?

 

[skier3.14]

try a bigger jump.

or going up on the lift practice stretching and grabbing your skis (the grabs) like touching your nose or mute, or your tail. it helps and gives you something to do on the way up

I also have trouble with grabs when trying to spin or flip. Help would be appreciated.

ya im tall and unflexible so its wicked hard to reach grabs

 

[CoonKiller]

alright if your comfortable with the flip,as soon as you pop and set the rotation focus most of your thought process on the grab and tuck up as much as possible and lower your arms and GRAB THAT SHIT.as soon as your get the grab on that jump you'll have to focus on landing so let go spot your landing and ride away like a boss.
If that doesn't work try different grabs before trying a double saftey, honestly japans are the easiest to do with flat 3's and slowly work up to the dub safety.
P.S Your bs 2's out will look way cleaner if you keep your right arm down a little bit more try to throw your hands at your hips when you set your spin off and you'll have kids asking if your pro when you go to the lodge

how did your karma get so high?

 

[babujib]

mad amounts of pictures and videos, karma takes in all that sort of shit too.

also, the flip is a lincoln and definitely take it to a jump that's 20 ft or so, thats the size of jump i learned to grab my lincolns with.

your run was wierdly smooth lol

Try to bring your knees to your chest more, instead of trying to just reach with your upper body and arms.

Always remember bring your equipment to yours hands, Not your hands to your equipment.

 

[gigi.d]

That's what i meant.

 

[Backyard.Skier]

before you go to bed everyday do some stretching and try to reach your feet, in about a week and a half you will notice you are becoming more flexible.

 

[skithug77]

I have a problem with my mute grab, i can grab my left ski with my right hadn ( spinning left) but i dont bring my right leg up with it so it looks bad, i think i am not flexible enough to bring my other leg up, for some reason i just cant get a damn mute 3. NEED HELP

 

[crab_pretzel]

just dont forget that its not just reaching your hands to you skis, its also bringing yous skis up to you hands which shouldnt be too hard if your upside down
