Tips for grabs with switch 5's

[canadaskibum]

does anyone have tips for a switch with grabs? Everytie I get the grab, i am sent of axis and slam hard on my back.

Any tips?

if you spin left, grab left hand saftey... its the easiest in general, and itll drop your leading shoulder keeping you from ending up on your back.

grab when you have spinned 180. it should keep you more balanced.

thanks a lot. I know how to grab and everything but i just keep getting off balance for some reason. I will try grabbing when I am facing forward on the 180.

alright safteys are good, any others that look good with a fakie 5?

try japan (but make sure you keep both legs tucked). underated grab.

it feels almost the same as the saftey but looks spicier.

isn't japan grabbing under your boot with the opposite hand while your other leg stays straight? Or is there a japan with both legs tucked. or it it a double saftey but only grab with one hand and the opposite ski? I am confused.

japan = left hand - inside of right ski behind boot. i dont think tucking your leg changes the name of the grab.
