So I got 3s down - and I'm curious on the best grabs and what not to start with to make these more interesting. I understand safety is going to come first - but what are some other good things to get going?

After you get safety down, work your way to dipping your noses a bit down and grab more towards your tail every time. then you just cross your skis and you pretty much got a blunt down. Also, japan is pretty easy to learn too. mutes are a bit tricky as someone said but you gotta figure out yourself how to get to it. Good luck!

I vote for the no grab shifty.

Shifties are awkward as fuck at first... takes a bit to really get the hang of it and start to style it out - but damn they feel awesome.

theyre actually some of the most fun things I think. much easier on bigger jumps like bishop said.

start small, though. safeties are good, and japan grabs are probably my personal favorite grab to do with a three.
 
Will be taking all the advice to the jumps tomorrow :P

and if i had a dollar for every time I was told "it'll be easier if you go bigger on the jump size..." I would have quite a few dollars lol - Ive been using the 25ft-ish gap jumps.
 
either blunt or japan. I personally like japan better because i dip my arm down and raise my ski a little, no off balance going on at all.

I mean obviously do what you're comfortable with. Sure tricks are easier on an 85' jump... but crashing certainly isn't.

At least you're talking like 25'. Its more like when people try tricks on the 5' or 10' jump that its pretty tricky to whip around with any sort of reasonable grab in it.

25 is pretty reasonable. More talking about people trying to learn off of the 5 foot beginner jumps. Obviously learning stuff on a 60 footer could go bad hahaha

That's too bad, I feel for ya!

any mountain can make a really nice 30' jump even if they're tiny. It sucks when that doesn't happen because jumping is super fun.
