I'm very comfortable with 3s and 5s and I'm trying to put some grabs in now. I know I need more air so I've been taking more speed into jumps. I tried some noses and mutes and i would always stop at 180. any tips? what was the first grab YOU learned to put into spins?
 
start with safety's they are ez and not complex.. from there i start safety and usually slide my hand back to true tail.
 
i started off doing straight air grabs. just all kinds of them. My first spin with a grab was a mute. I just kinda lifted up my left foot and spun a 3 switch. I don't really know why, I jusut like grabbing with my right hand...but whatever, just commit, and make sure you lift up your knees.
 
first one was a safety 3 and also some criticals, but know i feel realy comfortable with a true tail or almost true tail it just flows with the spin
 
holy shit since when do people do grabs with spins. that is nuts. this kid is truely progressing skiing.
 
bring the grab to your hand instead of reaching for the grab...

it will help you stay ballanced and it will help the speed of the rotation..

yea work on safety's, mutes, possibly tails...

think about gettin the rotaion first and hen the grab, if you focus on goin for the grab before the rotation, chances are your not gonna make it around unless your bombin off a huge table...

good luck man
 
start with a safety grab..its the easiest. then when ur comfortable with that slide ur hand to the front or back of the ski ... jsut move on from the safety
 
my first with a three was an inside safety, i dont really know why, i just went to grab and thats where i grabbed, mehh, there pitty easy really, just go for it and remember to keep looking with your head, and not look at the skis for too long
 
okay here is how i do it

1. set the spin off the jump

2. first lift your foot you are crossing over the ski for mute or blunt grabs

3. then reach down or to the tail for the grab, for mute you can bring the grab more up to you but the main thing is first set your spin then cross the skis then reach for the grab
 
Exactly, I believe your problem is your getting the grab before throwing the twist. . Twist then let the grab come
