do bunch just carving off the lip real hard...then once you get really comfortable with those do the same thing and just try to make it more off axis. then eventully youll have them, thts how i learned them
ok, i took this from another thread i wrote this on... but here it is
ok there are many different ways you can do a cork: going straight into a cork, carving a cork, throwing it with your hips, or your arms.
I would strongly recommend that you do most of your spinning with your hips and not your arms. This is going to keep your spins much more controlled, and help stop your arm swining..ie rolling down the windows, or throwing the cat out of the window.
Secondly I would strongly encourage spinning with your hips on corks, it makes them look so much more floaty and smooth. When I come up for corks going straight I will drop my left shoulder (spinning left) and then rotate my hips up and to the right. Thats for 360's, that will help make them look really smooth and slow. For a carve 360 I will carve into the jump doing a 's' turn and right on the take off my body is usually really low with my body really leaning towards the ground. (try the straight take offs frist, they are much easier... less things to worry, and think about. For 720's I will come up to the jump push my left should back and down and to the left, while bringing my hips up and around.
Ummm, sorry about that I had to write it at different times, so hopefully its not all crazy sounding. I have some cork stuff on my profile if u wanna check it out, on how my words sound, compared to how the body looks
