get a strong pop off the jump and bring your knees to your chest and reach down with your hand to grab your ski, don't try to tweek it out till you reach the apex (when you get to zero gravity) of your air than hold on to it as long as you can.

you might not have enough time to grab beucase you're not going big.

go off a decent sized jump and there is more than enough time to grab and tweak a mute

when I was first starting out I did this, its because you try to grab to early and don't get a good pop off the jump.

it has to be a decent sized jump if you want to tweak a grab well. the trick is to have patience, take off the jump and don't rush into the grab and tweak as fast as u can... this will set u off balanced like crazy. just take off like u would for a straight air and then go for the grab etc. good luck bro.

Funny how massive corporations and media giants like NBC refuse to support new skiing events like big air and big mountian, yet they use the latter's image to enhance their own. Actually, not so funny. Suck it, NBC.

just try a safety grab with a cross at first. when you get comfortable, put your hand on the opposite ski. When you get comfortable with that, tweak.
