word. it looks alright. grabbing is good but id say more important is get a little more grouped in the air. like pull you knees up and keep your hands to your side.

When i started grabbing i kept landing short of rotation. Now i don't have that problem anymore but try spinning a bit more when you spin a 3 and try to grab it. Safety is definetly the easiest grab to begin with, then move on to double safety's and mutes. (Safety = 1 hand by the base of the ski in a crouched position, double safety would be both hands at the base of your skis in a coruched position)

no, an uncrossed mute is where (if spinning left) you take your right arm and grab the outside edge of your left ski in front of the boot. A safety is just grabbing right under the foot of your right ski with your right arm.

do an iron cross (back scratcher style) throw your arms out to either side and look straight up in the air.

tuck your knees as soon as you pop and try to grab more next time, otherwise the spin was smooth, good landing.

I would say that to learn a grab in your spin, first you need to get out of the mode of doing pencil 3's.  To do this you need to just take anything you are comforatable doing, a grab, a spread eagle, an iron cross, anything you are super comforatable doing at any time, and try to incorporate it into your spin.  You can try to do this at 180 while looking back at the jump or even earlier.  Pete O. in an article wrote to look back at the kicker, since I already know how to grab spins I never tried that, but it could be good advice.  Once you break away from your traditional pencil style doing any variation in your spin it should be easier to start grabbing more and more.

thats the thing, the 3 i did in this vid was just a filler for the jump i was gonna hit right after, [i was gonna do a 5 on the next one], so i didnt really focus on bringin my knees up or anything.

i can bring my knees up everytime a pull a 3, and yes it does feel alot cleaner. i've been practicing on reaching down and touching my bindings for now, just to get used to bending over for a grab. im gonna try a few grabs this weekend, and ill see how that goes.

newschoolers now as apposed to to three years ago seems so much Nicer and friendlier! I member when it used to be Like , "is my 3 alright?" and then the first Joey to reply would be like "Fuck you, you suck". Or someone would be like "what am I doing wrong yo"? and then bitch be like ,"Omg sprout a dick and go fuck it".

haahaha, I dont know which way I like better though.
