I can spin and I can grab but I can't seem to do them both at the same time. I'll start spiining and then try to grab and just completely sop spinning. Any tips?

it's all in how you set the rotation. if you set it poorly, and have to really focus on making the spin around by twisting your body n shit, a grab will never work. if you set it hard and let it follow thru, you can focus on the grab.

but more importantly, practice. get confortable spinning first )and doing so without having to turn your head to look for the landing, which results on twisting your body). if you can carry a 3 around effortlessly, dialing the landing every time, grabs will be easy to throw in.

don't focus on your grab, just focus on spinning and put your hand down there where the ski is.

the reason you stop spinning when you grab is because you stop looking over your shoulder to spot your grab.

how well you set your rotations is really important... if your 3's arent smooth, kiss grabbing good bye. Keep throwing threes again and again and again... eventually you will grab

that means ur an R-tard and only safety grab... i think he was looking for a grab on the more extreme level. like a mute maybe?

honestly, the easiest grab ive done so far was a switch 180 with a mute, if you can switch up easy and switch 180 smooth and stomp out every time, tossing a grab is like sleeping, its totally efortless. when i throw a 3, i dont look at my skis. i keep my head over my shoulder focusing downhill, sometime i miss the actual grab part, but im gettng there.
