Who here can pull smooth 1080s and better yet with grabs. I stall dead everytime on the 2nd rotation when I go for a grab. Any type of grab. Maybie I need the rotation better first. Put tips for your 1080s if you can. Thanks.
executing this trick perfectly will land you more tail than axel rose at the pontiac sky dome!

the trick is quite simple, set the rotation super hard, and do a quite simple grab that does not slow the rotation... ( no mute) like insy, phil, tail and others...

Yeah but they wind up to it like nuts and do that pick thing, I could probably 720 like that if I tried, and I cant even 720 on skis yet.

The most amazing thing is that Cech guy in the inverted aerials from the olympics. Not that those tricks are that stylie but still sic. He did a quint triple. 720 in the first back flip, 720 on the second backflip and a 360 on the third. All in all a 1800 while doing three back flips, set it off axis a little and it would be sick.

The phils were doing 1080 tail grabs in los alamos.

the key is to do not spread the leg
