Carve, it will make it much more cork, and just drop you shoulder more, you'll get it. Have you tryed cork 7s or cork 5s? You might wanna try those first if you havn't.

I've been working on cork 3's as well. I keep under-rotating them though, I think I might be dropping my legs and uncorking them too soon, I dunno. Any tips on spinning faster to get the 5 or the 7 around?

make the carve gradual, not super sudden at the end of the lip, start right before you reach the tranny...oh by the way, how is that movie so big and deosnt constrain with the size?

so after you learn cork 3s are cork 5s just adding another 180? or are you supposed to set different?

Ok just for this thread I updated my profile and put a ton of cork stuff on there. I put a carved cork 3, a straight cork 3, an off axis 5, and cork 9.

Starting off with corked jumps I'd recommend trying to go straight. When you carve into a jump this will allow you to float or drift the cork. I think its harder to carve into a cork because the spin is set a little different than just a straight cork. For corked spins you will want to rotate your hips sideways/down while spinning. The more hip you use the more corked you will end up, or you will end up going into a d-spin. Hopefully this makes sense, i have a ton of other videos, so please let me know if you need different angles or tricks
