Hi guys im newish to the forum here so i dont know whether this is a repeated question or not. But any ways im having trouble getting grabs into my spins. I can spin up to 9 but cant grab anytihng, i even have trouble with 3s. I can do all the grabs with straights airs and 180s. Id also like some tips on getting the corked rotation. Ive popped my shoulder way too many times to try this and majorly screw up, will i generally land on my feet.

If any one can help me thanks

go to footlocker, buy the biggest tall tee you can, and then come back here and i should be able to answer your question better. if that doesn't work, just figure out how to do straight airs with solid grabs, know where your skis are in the air, and then just go for it. its all in how committed you are and how comfortable in the air in a position than full out upright/pencil.

i have many grabs with straight air, i even tuck most of my spins but when i reach down, my rotation either stops or it doesnt last longer than a 90.

sounds like you're going for a grab too soon. be well into your rotation before the grab maybe that will help.

Grabs
1. set the rotation
2. suck your knees up
3. grab your grab
4. stomp
