you can carve in and make them super stylish so you dont really spin so you will have more air time to grab.

Dont worry about heavy head. Just keep on practising your 180's once your comfortable add grabs.

yea for the landing almost like stare at it as your landing. you want to facing perfectly up hill looking towards the direction you just came from

Get really comfortable with the 180's and going switch first. They are such a cool trick especially the big slow ones

basically just do a 180 like usual, but half way through throw in a saftey grab (just grabing one ski. right hand-right ski) make sure you pull up your legs right when you pop off the lip.
