I can't get grabs into my spins well... i think its cause i'm a little too penciled... any tips other than just practice?
I'm still scared to go off switch, is it easier to do a zero spin or a 180 and land forwards?
Once i get my grabs dialed i wana learn Bio and Cork spins but i dono how i would throw it?
Workin on rails, and my back is bruised from it hahaha, i slid off the rail on my back...

Tuck in your knees. Add grabs when you're comfy with it.

Like doing the grab, only more so! Ok that made no sense. Ok, like when you grab mute you cross your skis, and tweaking a mute would mean you cross them a LOT. like farther.

you so can can tweak a safety. half cabs(switch 1) is way easier than a zero. ski around swith as much as you can it will help you be confident. when your dropping in switch just let your skis flow and simply looking over your shoulder will bring you round, just be string in the air so you dont flail.

-----> get out of the pencil spin. Start off by going over like a 30 foot table and just doing 1's, and make sure in the spin your hands are beside your knees. Keep your knees bent, and don't make it so you have to reach down to your knees either, even it out. Then when you get used to that, grab safety on your outside ski. Once that feels natural the rest of your tricks will evolve too.

---->180. to get used to hitting things switch, find a hit that isn't too busy and just ride up super slow, then as you get confidence start going a little bigger every time, pretty soon it will feel natural.
Once i get my grabs dialed i wana learn Bio and Cork spins but i dono how i would throw it?
----> simplest way is to just look down on an angle when you come off. Try it with a 3, because they always seem to work out the best. When you go off, just look towards your inside foot, and throw your outside shouler down to where you're looking. easier if you grab safety, then just let your body travel through the spin and it should work fine
Can't help you with the rails, you just have to rip em till you're used to it. watch the end of the rail always

With a safety you can tweak it to one side

Ignore the posers. Respect the beginners as much as you do the pros. Ride hard for yourself. Everyday.

If you do a Pollard style safety then no, you cant. You know, legs kinda spread. But if your feet are together then yeah, you can.
