sorry i didnt finish, if u can cork 5, if you just slowed it down alot and stoped at 360 you would do a cork 3, makes me think you might not be doing cork 5s at all.

what? no. thats a stupid assumption, the mechanics of the 2 tricks are different. my suggestion is take it to something bigger. dont try to do it as tight as your 5s, loft it out more, over a larger table, that should give you more time go flatten back out.

a cork 3 is like a cork 5 dude but you hit the ground 2/3's of the way through really, so come up to a jump and go for a crk 5 but spin really slow.

exactly. look at ski skiers cork 5, at 360 on them it looks like they could land, but they keep going.

it depends on how you cork. a lot of people cork in a way that you have to throw cork 3's differently, so I'm guessing that's the problem. Cork 3's are more thrown with your whole body, and less throwing your arm and head around. Carving helps too.
