Hey does anyone have any tips for mixing grabs in with spins/flips? Last season I finally got my backflip's and 720's down solid, but I want to mix in grabs with everything. Also I was wondering if you guys have any tips for throwing spins and flips together, like anything bio/corked and misty/rodeo. I just want some idea of what im doing before I go out and try it when this season starts.

the biggest tip that helped me to grab on my spins is that you have to set your spin before your reach for the grab. once your spin is set then reach for a grab

its easy, but you have to have a lap top with you when you set your spin.

Cool thanks, I'm glad everyone here is a dick. I feel like a genius now... I was just looking for some help-- I realize I could just search it somewhere else, but it's better to hear it from someone who actually knows what they're talking about. Thanks for being so helpful.

rodeo 5s are good next trick from a backflip. Send your stomach to the skylook over your shoulder and then spot your landing. Shitty advice I know, look some vids up on youtube and you'll have an idea of what to do.

your obviously new, or a troll, but ill give you the benefit of the doubt...

set your spin befor you grab, like stated above.. also, never look down at your skis when grabbing....i guess visualize what you need to do to make that grab, so its in your head, then when your spinning, you can reach for it naturally.

things like corks and bios etc, join the cult trick tip cult...and in there it has the right techniques, but basically, just practise em first on a tramp or somthing

i learned rodeo 7's before i learned backflips (on the trampoline). for rodeos you set up with your arms when your in the air start your spin and just look over your left shoulder like your going to do a backflip. your feet should end up over your head and you should be spinning if you did it right. when you see the landing or in my case tramp for a second time open up and you should stomp the crap out of it. i havent took it to snow yet because i learned this summer. ill try it and tell you how it feels. its really hard to explain i have to show you.
