1. go to your local shop, buy the tanner hall promodels.
2. precede to buy the rossi fks 150 bindings
3. Buy the most expensive suit possible
(highly recommend the chord orage suit)
4. buy poles that are no less than 150 bucks.
5. wear all teh clothes in XXL, look liek tanner
6. never ask how to do trick on ns, how is it ever gona to help you, my best suggestion is going to a indoor gym, dialing it on the tramp, tehn dial it off the tramp onto a mat, then trying it.

get comfortable with doing normal 5's, then cork 5's, then switch airs, then go for a switch 5 safety, then a switch corked 5 safety, then a switch cork 5 critical...

just get out on the hill and go for it dude...trial and error - there is no textbook for tricks

good luck tho

All I can say is don't sike yourself out and see yourself doing it, just as you would for trying any new trick.

yeah you cant really get detailed instructions on it that will really help
just go to the hill, get dialed in hitting a certain jump switch, relax, stay calm, and COMMIT. dont sike yourself out, stay cool and you'll stomp it no problem. make sure you got switch 5 safety's dialed first too, switch corks are not something you just throw without any prior experience.
once you nail it you're gonna be so pumped because switchcork 5's are the best trick in skiing, period.

I find the critical kind of corks you out, so just do it a bunch and the cork will come.

e.g. left hand on inside of right ski between the binding and the tip (vice versa for right hand)

If your feeling good about it and you think you can land it, go for it. I always get hurt when I try new things that I dont really want to do, but my friends talk me into it.

Extremly specific there, why dont you just try switch cork 5...then maybe add the grab...

then why did you make that post? seriously that was the most pointless post ever. Maybee he was hoping sombody who did know how to do it would help. Do you think he was asking you specifically? no.

Anyways it's pretty self explanitory. a few tips would be wait for the spin don't rush it or you'll end up going way smaller than you planned or even flat out crashing on your side. don't do the backwards snow plow thing on the inrun. don't panic if it feels wierd just try to stay smooth and bring it around. If the grab is messing you up learn it without or with just a saftey first then try critical
