opposite tails are really fun, and pretty easy to do. if you spin left, just bbring your inside hand back to meet your tail, tweak it out, and if you're doing a 5, stall at 3, its fun
if you spin to you left, grab with your right hand, and if you spin to your right, grab with your left hand. i find it makes the whole motion of spinning just one big motion rather than actually worrying about a grab.
