Learning grabs

[d-spin543210]

ok so i can land 360's 720's and 900's but i can only do the pencil style and i was wondering if anyone had tip for good grabs to learn.

 

[-_-Johnny-_-]

tailgrab.. or safety, their pretty easy

roll the windows down...

 

[-+Siver+-]

Try a mute grab

 

[canuck]

Just work on bringing your knees to your chest the rest will come.

 

[forfun]

i wish i was as good as you

 

[LDN-Ski]

man u got the 9's down very good .. i would think safety is easiest to grab

 

[jjibs1219]

start of with safety's them tails, i think safety's will give you the most balance when spinning

 

[feihlination]

what were you doing when you started? never did grabs? i mean, i am just wondering, cuz normally you just learn grabs before spins, but ok.

i would say that you just have to do them, for me it works, you have to kill the fear that you loose control or whatsoever.

and if i cant grab a spin safety, i wouldnt say that you can do it, but that is just me.

 

[lukew06]

id say tails if you can do them right and well

i was a moguls skier so i can spin but not grab

 

[Campeador]

i love how these newbs exagerate their skiing skill in order not to receive flak. I'm sorry but if you can't grab a 3 then you for sure can't land a 9, which IS difficult.

 

[Edward.]

you can do 3's, 7's, and 9's but you cant do 5's?

 

[freestyleskiin]

mute grabs come natureal to me so give that a try

 

[bmxican_89]

how do you know? he said he was a moguls skier, which seems pretty resonable to me for a reason that he cant grab.

 

[Campeador]

I suppose, and I apologize if I am indeed wrong. If just seems if you could land smooth 9s grabs would be a breeze.

 

[chapz]

start with safetys

 

[feihlination]

yes he is right, seems pretty understandable, just focus on the grab, it should be easy on tricks that you can land easily.

 

[TylerS]

relly what bout the 5??

 

[ryan.c]

if you can, get skis center mounted, it makes it soooo much easier to grab the tail of your ski

also when you spin, try a 1 at first and look back to where ur ski is and grab it with ur hand, bring your legs up too

start with a safety tho (grab right ski at binding with right hand, or left ski with left and) and do a slow 3

 

[darrel]

i dont know, but i have the same problem, i can do 3s so easy and i have landed 7s, but i cant get anything more than a safety grab into my 3, but when straight airing or doing 180s i can do any grab, like even double grabs.....i dont know what my problem is

 

[buffalo-soldier]

why grab ur skis, they arent going to fall off. i never grab but i like to click my skis in the air a few times when i spin.

 

[Bees_Knees]

its pretty hard for me to grab tail because my skis are mounted so far back

 

[pwallstreet]

its funny cuz its true

 

[00Snowball]

Well just bring you skis up. Try jumping w/o popping and go off with your knees bent, then just work it in. It just takes practice. But seriously, 900? Those are hard to land if its a small jump like 40 feet cuz you don't have much time you gotta get the distance pretty much the same every time or else you over rotate so I am not seeing it. This one dude I know who is really good says its muscle memory.

 

[00Snowball]

Speaking of, do yall think I should stop trying the 900/1080 on a 35-40 foot table (its the second jump of three in the rail yard, just got my DT pass and today the dude advised against hitting the DT jumps)? Thing is I don't know what else to do I'm working the mute into my 5s and 7s and I can sw5 so I just don't know. I keep hurting myself.
