Hey...I can do 360s pretty well now and i want to start adding grabs and stuff like mutes but im a little unsure of myself. When ever i try to do a grab or something i end up only doing something between a 1 and a 3. Does anyone have any advice?
Also does anyone have any advice for corked spins?
Thanx all

the onyl thing to do is concentrate on spining, not a perfect grab, keep looking at ur ear or sumthing, keep the rotation going

set for a faster rotation, because grabing stalls you in the air. good luck bro

peace

carve into the take off to take care of your spin... I guarantee you won't stall. stay low when you're on the lip (almost in a crouch) so that your hand is closer to your skis. Make sure you lean a little bit forward because grabbing can throw you back sometimes. Once you hold that grab the first time you'll be able to add so many new tricks to your bag.
good luck.

Just make sure you learn 3s perfect... then add the grabs but still concetrat on the spin. For a cork just lean back ass you hit the lip and you will cork it out

The way i learned safety 3s was just to do a knee tuck when i did a 3. Then after doing that you can just basically move your hand over and it will be on your ski.

Whistlermann, I want to learn corks and I know leaning back when you hit the lip is key, but my question is not how you get corked (it seems to me that this would be quite easy) but rather how you get uncorked at the end. I really want to try a corked 5 but I have a feeling I'll just throw myself off the hit and get corked and just stay spinning horizontal and never get my feet back under me.

Well i managed to pull a grab in mid spin... I started going higher than usual by bombing the jump. Usually when i go off a jump faster i fall but i figured out a way of stabelizing without slowing down. I also managed a 540! thanx everyone for your help!
