title says it. I can get the grab, but I only hold it for an instant most of the time. This is on spins and stuff by the way. straight airs I can do just fine lol

any tips would be appreciated! thanks

How big are the jumps you're hitting? It is a lot easier to hold grabs on bigger jumps

I've done spins with 'grabs' on some good size jumps, so it's not size that's the issue. I wouldn't be asking this if i was only hitting lil jumps haha

I have the same question. Also the grab always isn't super easy. Is it mostly the pop that allows you to get the grab?

Thanks. i've always kind of had a weak pop, that's why I have trouble with some flips too. I'll try popping forward more, and actually popping.

@taco-doge I can do blunts in a straight air (lol) but I have trouble getting my skis up when I spin. lol at me

i know its hard to understand but if you grab later like around 180 you can hold it all the way around till 360 then if you go right at 90 then you have to let go early because your off balance

Just make sure you are in control while u r in the air. If you go off balance ten u might need to let go an adjust ur positioning. If u have good pop u will have good balance and then good grabs

Get more air, pop harder, bring your legs to your hands not hands to legs

find a grab that pulls the spin around. so you can get it early, and worry more about the grab than the spin.
