Finally tricking bigger jumps

[brokenankles]

So today I did a three on a decent sized jump, but i wan't to put some grabs to it. Any advice on how to not focus on the grab or the spin?

PS. I have full tilts

 

[FinnTheHuman]

Which model. this could be the deciding factor in getting the grab.

 

[JAHBRADOR]

popset your spin as always

at 180, bring legs up toward you and grab ski under boot

spot landing

let go

afterbang

getmoney

getbitches

 

[-WZ-]

instead of adding a grab just spin into the future

 

[brokenankles]

will i "getbitches" before or after landing?

 

[stickski]

bring the skis to your hand, not your hand to your ski

 

[brokenankles]

alright ill be trying that tomorrow

 

[dabsandskis]

Wtf does full tilts have to do with anything. They are the ugliest most uncomfortable boots ever. Get nordicas

 

[RonJeremiah]

What OP was thinking when he posted

 

[fredyferl]

I had fulltilts and I couldn't grab, I must suck really bad then right?

 

[brokenankles]

bigger deal than the last five minutes of deal or no deal

 

[suup]

Get full tilt

 

[ny300z]

aww new guy dont get the joke

and your crazy saying they are uncomfortable. I didnt know boots were supposed to be comfortable until i got full tilts

 

[Crispy.]

Hahhahaha at the last sentence of this post.

 

[a_burger]

if you are good enough you can pee in their butt as you land

 

[Merrrick]

Just make sure you dont do anything, you have to do less.

Ski to hand, rather than hand to ski! Worth trying a few on a tramp or something to see how grabbing affects a rotation

 

[wasatch_rat]

commit to the grab. i know it sounds obvious but a lot of people are so worried about landing their spin that they just halfass their attempt to grab. when you pop and set, you have to think "i am going to grab no matter what." also, it helps to do some straight airs with the grab before you start spinning

 

[freestyler540]

just do a bunch of 3's and grab later. Start with the safety grab, then work your way around the problems.

 

[Blake.P]

Just set the spin and go for the grab. Leading tail is the easiest IMO because you can bring the ski to your hand and it doesn't change your rotation

 

[jermhy]

i've found that getting really drunk helps with not focusing on spinning or grabbing, and also makes you go way bigger

 

[p-fo]

Go fast. Carve hard. Grab blunt.

 

[Toaster-Tony]

Yup, pretty much this. The best part is you don't even feel the injuries when they happen, so it kinda works as a suit of armor at the same time.

 

[dabsandskis]

Plus crashing wile drunk you are limp so it's alot safer , like in drunk driving accidents the drivers rnt as harmed

 

[drumbumocdp]

This. Dont rush the grab, set the spin and go for the grab at 180. If it helps, do it a bunch of times and just focus on bringing your knees up a little bit more every time until you can eventually grab your ski

 

[brokenankles]

So I tried it today multiple times. The first time I overshot, so that sucked. The second time I got the grab at 180, but then I did't finish the rotation. resulting in death

 

[SkiBrightonBadly]

Probably get your ankles checked out before you try again

 

[Kreech]

Yep.

 

[JAHBRADOR]

Do what somome ^ already said. Don't try and go for the grab properly the first few times.

Build up your confidence by bringing it closer and closer each time. It should feel very smooth, even when you do it of a small jump and need to grab "quickly".

 

[galardogod]

I would ajust your full tilts i think its an equipment issue

 

[brokenankles]

So i tried it again today, I noticed that I want to grab with my opposite hand. Only problem is that if I do It will get me of axis resulting in ghetto cork death.

you're thinking too much about the grab off the lip. remember to pop like you regularly would THEN reach for the grab mid-flight.

 

[brokenankles]

I'm still struggling!! I can't seem to balance the spin/grab. Also what would you guys say is the best grab to learn with?

 

[TACO-DOG.exe]

leading tail is a good one. it makes you spot your landing while looking at your grab.
