Tweak a tail

I have trouble keeping my skis on the same level when I cross them when i'm spinning.  I spin to my left and grab my right tail with my right hand.  Getting the skis crossed more is also a problem.  Should I try kicking my left ski back in and which ski should i put on top so one isnt higher than the other.
Thanks

are you grabbing true tail? as far as getting your skis into the cross you want i would suggest grabbing the inside of your (true) tail and pushing out rather than grabbing outside and holding the grab by pulling in.
hope that made sense.

The non-grabbed ski goes on top, so as your going to grab both feet lift at the same time.(more of your attation can be kept on the grabbing ski)The way your doing it, it sounds like its on the bottom. This will give it a funny pizza shape for most people.


to get more cross, just cross your feet more.Practice on the chair with the bar down. Sit on the far right side, this will give you room off to the side to grab tail and get some muscle memory going. ya folllow me
