try to do them with mutegrabs, that will make them a little corked by itself. then work from there. when you get to 180 just push your head down..... might sound weird...

drop the shoulder on the side you spin to as soon as you start after the 360 spot your landing and bring your skis down beneath you

when i throw them, i just lean back off the lip. others say that they spin normal but look towards the ground right before setting your spin off the lip

when i throw corks, i throw my arms as if im grabbing opp. true tail, and look up a little higher than i normally do when i spin, thats the only way i can think of to describe a cork.

i havnt done em, but im guessing if you can do a cork 5 on a tramp, you will be able to just come around and uncork, but i dunno about taking off or anything, im sure its totally different

This my sound dumb, but it helped me. When you throw your rotation, don't just be thinking cork, make sure you remember to focus on the 5,7, or whatever rotation you are spinning. If you commit to the whole 5 or 7, you will see the landing and your body will come around. If you just try to huck it, you may not be in control and may not see the landing so you will not uncork. My best advise is just drop your left shoulder (spinnng left) a little, and commit to your 5.

Anyone else noticed that ever since the threads about people leaving like Spriggs, and how NS is changing that the noob calling and referring to the search bar has really gone down dramatically. Guess thats all this site needed

...no actually cork 7 is the easiest cork and cork 3 is the hardest.. when i cork i like to throw a bit forward (i know everyones thinking misty/bio but bare with me) and then i let my body rotate flat until my head is facing the jump...a lot of people actually do this and it is just like corking the other way. https://www.newschoolers.com/ns3/web/content/videos.php?vid=26089&
see how he kinda throws forward and to the side and ends up corked?
