carve into the jump and drop ur inside shoulder, helps to keep ur head down and ur body tucked in that way its easier to pull outer the cork and not freak out as easy in the air

depends what cork your doing. start with a cork 3. carve and turn to the right and drob yuor right shoulder. you shiould go corked and then land upright. for cork 5, spin around your outside shoulder

haha if you dont know what carving is, yet alone how to do it, then i suggest you dont even bother with corked spins.

completely disregard what he said. cork 3s are about 10 times harder than cork 5s, you my friend are an idiot.

What are you talking about... cork 5s are WAY easier than cork 3s.. but you dont reeeally even need to carve, just drop shoulder heaps

It all depends on the spin a 3 you usually need to carve and just lean wayy inside.  On 7 you dont have to carve at all if you dont want to and you can throw back or inside for that and its all about the same

close your eyes until you feel ground on any part of your body.

don;t even think of corking. bring your skis and legs up to your hands, in front of you. grab. i just spent alot of time at the Utah Olympic Park practicing these.
