I need to get some tips on really nice blunt grabs that look sick af. Whenever I reach back for the grab I get very off balanced. Are they easier with spins?

sorry about the gaper question. I am definitely not as good as most people here on newschoolers

Try moving your upper body less and instead moving your legs so your skis meet your hands. If you're doing a blunt grab, just bend your knees and your tails will come up towards your hands. This will prevent you having to reach for the grab and will save you from getting off balance.

Also the more you do them the easier they will get! After a while of doing them your hand just goes straight to where your ski will be.

Just do them when just straight airinfo jumps, then it will just come naturally and that wlrks with Every other grab, the first grab I've ever done with a 3 is trailing Japan because I was just doing them on every little side booter

Honestly your thread and its responses were very helpful. I'm hit and miss with my blunts and needed some tips to help get them on lock down. K+
