My Grabbing Issue

I can do a lot of grabs I just recently learned true tails with spins and get those everytime easily too. Here is my problem... I can't do mutes, I can't even straight air mute. Someone please help me!
 
how aren't you getting it? are u not reaching it, or unable to cross it up. So if your spinning to the left your gonna want to go left ski over the right, and grab your left ski with your right hand. If you spin to the left and put your right ski over your left and grab it with your left hand its an reverse mute, and viseversa for right side spinning.

A good way to practice grabs is to go into the half pipe, that way you can get so many jumps back to back with consitency. But if your having problems getting your hand to grab your ski... Then you should try to bring your legs up towards your hand, and not your hand reaching for the ski. Pretend when you go off the jump that your gonna do a cannon ball, and bring your knees up
 
for learning mutes I started off jsut crossing my skis and grabing not tweaking them at all cuz well I couldnt. But then as the desire came to tweak, I started practicing them all the time. I know this sounds weird when I was in bed I stretch in the mute possition. And then on the tramp I would get out of control air and bascically try and touch my left foot to my right knee while doing them. As for on jumps I would pop as hard as I could and tree and touch my left binding to my right ski and look over my left shoulder.

and not to sound like a cock but i can tweak those bad boys pritty good now.
 
^^I like the cannon ball explanation.

^I also did that. Start by just trying to grab the left ski with the right hand..dont even worry about the other ski's position necessarily, or if they are really crossed. Once you get good at that, try and tweak it more and more. It's just a gradual method. That is how I started.
