Grabs

A few questions about grabs:
1) when doing crosses, my skis always end up pointing slightly up, I can't seem to tweak it back so I can grab my tail
2) When crossing, i am also having a few problems crossing the ski enough, it looks kinda gay if it only a bit crossed
3) apart from crosses (which i do a lot of) what other grabs look good?

If your doing a tail, here's what I do:
Bring your skis up behind you like your almost doing an old skool backscratcher. Then cross the skis. Bring your favored hand around and tweak even more.

bring your legs up to meet your hand and reach for it and tweak that shit.

my personal favourite non-crossed grab would be the japan air. it is fun to do, fairly easy and looks cool.

I am not dong the grabs because I am getting a thrill out of touching my ski-JP Auclair

cross at the boot and tweak the cross then try and grab it.
