soooo i thought it would be a cool thing to post how to do different grabs with spins. 3 and bigger, say the grab and with what spin and say how to do it and what size is good to try it on. ill start. only post what you can do decently well and routinly
critical 3,5- throw ur 3 at the same speed as un grabbed when you get to 90 cross ur left ski over ur right and bring it up to you, grab anywhere along the front inside edge with ur right arm hold as long as poss, set i down. for 5s throw a bit harder then a reg 5 and do the same let go of grab with at least 90 deg to go otherwise landing can be sloppy. for 3s a 30ft should give you enough to make it smooth, 35-40 for 5s to make it clean.
double grab 3- throw a little harder then you would on that jump for a reg 5. right when you take off bring both legs up keepin skis between 1-2 ft apart. try to get tucked by 90 then with ur left arm grab the front inside edge of ur left ski and with ur right arm reach behind ur butt and grab the inside edge of the tail of ur left ski (japan) or get in the general area (i rarely can actually hold my japan but if ur arm is around that area it looks about the same) hold until you see ur landing then flow into the landing. best to try off soemthin at least 40-45 looks truely amazing offa 55-70 ft hits.
i really wanna hear how to do trucker 3s and 5s. true opp nose, tail, blunt. that would be super! lets make this a cool thread

Truck Driver 3s 5s etc.
Bend your knees up a bit and bend down grab doulble safety and then make your legs a straight as possible. 30-40 foot jump, I guess is good. Grab higher up as you get better.

truck drivers are SO intensely played, not to mention the fact i have only seen one true truckdriver in real life

good point but no one here can rightfully say that after a year of seeing a cab 5 truck they wouldnt get sick of it? hell even dumont has moved onto new grabs too! but truckdrivers are still a cool grab...i just dont want to see and overdose of them like mutes.

tail 3.
hit jump spin 90 degrees with ur body and right ski crossing left over right reach back with your right hand the tip of ur ski should be about arms length and to the back right of ur right shoulder, push ur right arm like a butterfly press with a straight arm this will add tweakness. look over your left shoulder to see the landing focus on ur landing point and stick it
