Dude he's not spinning so how the fuck can it be corked? This is just going to be like the "corked 180" debates.

Probably this one? Although as was mentioned above, I think it was mislabled and was actually a 3.

Cork 3 Critical, as many people have said before. It was just a mislabeled picture, and people took the idea really far.

kids need to relax about cork in any way shape or form...if one kid posts a pic and labels it cork 7 and kids are bitching about how its not corked enough then thats lame...i dont even bother to add or mention the name corked in when i say any trick...that picture which i dopnt doubt is a zero spin because laurent does things like that that blow my mind, but anyway if its a zero spin then he did it his own way creating his own style kids dont need to hop on the fact of wether its corked or not who cares people do things with there own style, like in snowboarding everybody spins with a different axis therefor there is no meaning to saying corked because everyone is different, this is why we shouldnt call anything corked anymore, or so i think if any does an ill "cork" spin then i just call it what it is ex-cab leftside 7 not cab leftside cork 7

^no u cant it is impossible to cork a zero, u can mess up and lean towards the lip on accident and land on ur tips but that still isnt a cork.

a cork is an off axis SPIN

Mahre's in War/TD is like a switch backscratcher tail grab, he brings his skis up behind him.

if this is the 0 spin.. shit. thats gnar off axis. how the hell do you take off switch, go that off axis in the air, dont rotate at all, and then come back to landing switch.

Luarent jsut took about took over my fav skier right now.

i agree. in snowboarding they dont even label stuff corked or not. not that we should be like snow boarding, but i think everyone just needs to chill out

i'm now thinking a corked 180 is possible, cause i can cork 270 on my tramp, and i figured that if i just let my feet fall 90 degrees behind my i would land cork 180

who cares if its corked or not. all this debates making me sick. it's a dope shot, looks good, and that's all that matters. i dont think the point of freestyle skiing is to be analyzed up the wazooo. just enjoy it.

i can cork 270, got it? so if i do a cork 270 with my upper body, i can try to just counter rotate my lower body, kind of like doing a shifty but never pulling out of it

i dont understand how you can cork when you have no rotation. i mean the grab makes it look off axis but thats like saying you can do corked straight airs. it doesnt make sense
